Supervision services

MORSE exposes several services to remotely manage and monitor the simulator.

These services are automatically exposed on a socket interface, on port 4000.

All these services belongs to a virtual component called simulation and follows the normal syntax for socket requests. Thus, a request to retrieve the list of robots would look like that:

> telnet localhost 4000
Connected to localhost.
> req1 simulation list_robots
req1 OK ['Robot1', 'Robot2']

Available services

  • list_robots (no parameter): returns the list of the robots currently available in the simulation
  • reset_objects (no parameter): reset the position of all objects in the simulation (in other word, restart the simulation)
  • quit (no parameter): quit the game mode and so terminate the simulation
  • activate (component_name): Activate the functionality of the specified component
  • deactivate (component_name): Deactivate the functionality of the specified component
  • suspend_dynamics (no parameter): suspend the physics at the game engine level
  • restore_dynamics (no parameter): enable again the physics at the game engine level
  • details (no parameter): returns a structure containing the details about the simulation currently running, including the list of robots, the list of services and datastreams, ...
  • set_log_level cmpnt (string) level (string): changes the level of logging for the component cmpnt to the level level.

Note

Simulation services are stored in morse.core.supervision_services.
