Installing a Whisperer

To install a Whisperer, except when using Controllers, you need to generate its API key pair.
You do so on the Installation tab.

note

This tab is not present for Upload Whisperers.

Generate API key​

The tab allows to generate the key pair by clicking on Generate API key button:

  • The private key is downloaded as a file on your browser
  • The public key is saved in Spider store

This key is required to authenticate the Whisperer on the server.

Whisperer config file​

The generated file contains:

  • The id of the Whisperer
  • The URL of Spider server to get Whisperer configuration
  • The private key of the Whisperer
{
  "whisperer":"PxYpsuWPGkJcjfQ",
  "spiderConfigURI":"https://spider.mycompany.com/whisp/v1/whisperers/PxYpsuWPGkJcjfQ/config?view=client",
  "privatePem":"-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----\nMIICXAIBAAKBg...\n-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----"
}

It is used as an input for the Whisperer container.
As the only required input.

Launch the Whisperer​

The UI then gives you online instructions on how to launch the Whisperer.
