A tap probe watching an SRT feed

The whole journey, from an empty machine to a probe analysing a live stream: initialise norsk-ctl, register probe with a license, build a tap template, launch it, and give it something to watch. Nothing here is pre-seeded.

01 Sign in

init has written the config and the first proxy user; the browser lands on the sign-in form that user backs.

02 The platform, with probe registered

Registration pulled the image, read the manifest and stored the templates probe publishes by default.

03 Two templates

The wall registration published, and the tap probe just built — an SRT listener on port 5001 for stream id camera1.

04 Launch it

Launching starts the instance’s containers. The probe comes up healthy and listens, with no stream on the port yet.

05 Pick a source

The Sources page, with this probe chosen as the target. The sample source pushes over the transport the template declared.

06 The stream arrives

The source reports running, and so does the probe: the row and the probe’s API agree that a stream is being analysed.

07 Read it

The probe’s own dashboard, analysing the live stream. Stopping the source is enough to see it notice; deleting the instance stops its containers and frees its ports.
