Question: how to visualise my own arch?

[jasw]

Hi all,

Same with many others, Adrian's great talk on State of Arts Microservices brought me here.

I am having my first go at Simianviz. Just created my own json arch by using the provided script to convert my docker compose file (name:"frontier_arch.json"). I can see now in the json_arch folder:

tree json_arch   
json_arch
├── aws_ac_ra_web_arch.json
├── cassandra_arch.json
├── container_arch.json
├── frontier_arch.json
├── lamp_arch.json
├── netflix_arch.json
├── netflixoss_arch.json
├── test_arch.json
├── testyaml_arch.json
└── yogi_arch.json

I can see I could run spigo to simulate some load:

/spigo -a frontier -d 5 -j -g

2015/10/21 13:17:17 frontier.edda: closing

I started the server using
npm run dev

I assumed my architecture diagram would show up along with the 'lamp', 'netflix' ones in the dropdown but couldn't find it.

Am I missing something?

Another question is, when I am generating load using Spigo commandline, should I be expecting visual changes on the d3 diagrams? Or the 'charge' on the page meant to be for that?

Many thanks,

Jason

To add a new arch to the menu you need to edit the menu in the UI at the end of this file
https://github.com/adrianco/spigo/blob/master/ui/js/toolbar/index.js

Sorry I didn't see this question earlier.

Spigo commandline saves files that the UI loads later. Charge pushes the nodes apart in the UI.
