I'm just wondering if there is any DNS customization trick which would allow the qpid client to automatically find the broker based on the DNS settings (things like _qpid._tcp SRV entries in the local domain). That would avoid the configuration on each monitored node.
Nice, glad you got it all working! :)
This is exactly how we do it in ovirt.. I posted a patch to use DNS SRV entries and it just sets up the libvirt-qpid sysconfig file on each boot.
Trying to make sure I understand, there is no such support in the upstream qpid but that's a patch carried just on Ovirt ?
It is not really a patch - it is just the way oVirt configures its managed node virtualization host at startup.
The managed node has a whole bunch of services running, of which libvirtqpid is just one. So, after networking comes up, oVirt queries the SRV records for all the services it cares about, and uses augeas to edit the config files to point to these services.
Ah, I was hoping some kind of standardization of lookup embedded in the qpid library itself.
