Hi Madhu,

We have an end-user tutorial in review right now.  That should help you get started understanding the end-to-end flow a bit better.  Look for it to be merged today or tomorrow.

Hi,

Since a few weeks I am trying to get a hold on Congress code base and understand the flow.

Here is a brief summary what I am trying out:

Prepared a dummy client to send the policy strings to congress_server listening at the path "/policies". This is now changed to "v1/policies". I am using "POST" request to send the policy string to the server.

The call to server somehow seems to get converted to an action with the name "create_policies"
Added a new API "create_policies" in the api model policy_model.py which gets the policy string in "params".

I am able to call compile.parse() and runtime.initialize() functions from this API.
The compilation produces a result in the format below:

Rule(head=[Literal(table=u'error', arguments=[Variable(name=u'vm')], negated=False)], body=[Literal(table=u'nova:virtual_machine', arguments=[Variable(name=u'vm')],.............

I am not really sure about how to go about from here to see the policies actually getting applied and monitored.

Any resource or instructions on getting through the code flow will be of great help to proceed further.

Thanks in Advance,
Madhu Mohan
