The Qube Data Relay Agent performs two functions:
It acts as a relay for all data sent by the PFX system metrics collectors
running on a Qube supervisor. Since the DRA does not have to run on the
supervisor, it may be installed on a DMZ host to support sites where the
supervisor cannot access the internet directly.
While acting as a relay, it listens passively to a network port, and will
relay the payloads it receives from the collectors to the ingest service
running at metrics.pipelinefx.com.
--
It replaces the Metered License Agent (MLA) introduced in Qube 6.9, which
reported to the Metered License System (MLS). The MLA functionality was
subsumed by the DRA to reduce the number of installed components.
While acting as the MLA, it pings the supervisor every 60 seconds for
worker license usage, and reports the results every 15 minutes. There are
additional steps necessary to enable the MLS functionality, plrease refer
to the MLS and DRA documentation.
