Node-RED Solutions

There is an upcoming solution for smoothly integrating DXL services and events with Node-RED. It will allow users to hook up any tool or service to Node-RED and easily send or receive DXL messages.

In the meantime, the OpenDXL Data Bridge solution is currently available and incorporates some Node-RED functionality.

ncolter Yes.. resounding yes! Want.

Slight sidetrack... Are there any plans for a Node-based solution that doesn't require Node-RED?

The new OpenDXL JavaScript Client is a Node.js-based client that should provide the flexibility you're looking for, check out the documentation to help you get started!

I got this up and running in node-red, thanks! Anyone interested in joint development if they haven't already started?

Hi Joe-

We are currently working on an OpenDXL extension:

OpenDXL Extension GitHub

Joint development would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks a lot,

Chris

Any idea when the Node-RED extension will be released? I see the source code but there are not any releases and it does not appear in NPM.

We do not have a set release date for any of the packages as of yet. However, there are several releases planned for the next few months specifically centering around the OpenDXL Node-RED extension, so you can expect to see updates fairly soon.

We're excited to provide this new tool to the community, and we're working to get it into your hands as soon as possible!

The first set of DXL Node-RED nodes have been released. These provide core level DXL functionality (sending/receiving events, invoking services, exposing services).

Also, a DXL-specific Docker image was released that includes the core nodes as well as some enhancements that simplify integration with Docker tools such as Kitematic.

Thanks,

Chris

This is some of the coolest stuff I've seen for OpenDXL. The possibilities are endless. Thank you guys sooo much!!!

1) Deploy OpenDXL Node-Red Docker

2) Provision

3) Install some Node packages

4) Implement an ePO search

Took about 3 minutes to do what used to take about 30.

Great!

Thanks a lot for the feedback Jesse!

The team has been working very hard on creating some compelling solutions for use with Node-RED. We will be walking through a lot of them at the OpenDXL Targeted Group Meeting (TGM) at the McAfee MPower 18 conference. After the conference we will be posting a number of videos on here that walk through using OpenDXL with Node-RED.

Thanks,

Chris
