Automate device registration
To provision an appliance, use the ProvisionDevice API. The response includes a ZIP file with the device's
configuration and temporary credentials. Decode the file and save it in an archive with the prefix
certificates-omni_.
Example provision-device.sh
if [[ $# -eq 1 ]] ; then
DEVICE_NAME=$1
else
echo "Usage: ./provision-device.sh <device-name>"
exit 1
fi
CERTIFICATE_BUNDLE=certificates-omni_${DEVICE_NAME}.zip
aws panorama provision-device --name ${DEVICE_NAME} --output text --query Certificates | base64 --decode > ${CERTIFICATE_BUNDLE}
echo "Created certificate bundle ${CERTIFICATE_BUNDLE}"The credentials in the configuration archive expire after 5 minutes. Transfer the archive to your appliance with the included USB drive.
To register a camera, use the CreateNodeFromTemplateJob API. This API takes a map of template parameters for the camera's username, password, and URL. You can format this map as a JSON document by using Bash string manipulation.
Example register-camera.sh
if [[ $# -eq 3 ]] ; then
NAME=$1
USERNAME=$2
URL=$3
else
echo "Usage: ./register-camera.sh <stream-name> <username> <rtsp-url>"
exit 1
fi
echo "Enter camera stream password: "
read PASSWORD
TEMPLATE='{"Username":"MY_USERNAME","Password":"MY_PASSWORD","StreamUrl": "MY_URL"}'
TEMPLATE=${TEMPLATE/MY_USERNAME/$USERNAME}
TEMPLATE=${TEMPLATE/MY_PASSWORD/$PASSWORD}
TEMPLATE=${TEMPLATE/MY_URL/$URL}
echo ${TEMPLATE}
JOB_ID=$(aws panorama create-node-from-template-job --template-type RTSP_CAMERA_STREAM --output-package-name ${NAME} --output-package-version "1.0" --node-name ${NAME} --template-parameters "${TEMPLATE}" --output text)
Alternatively, you can load the JSON configuration from a file.
