Setting up Tile38 for geofence notifications

[clemson897]

I've tried to set up geofence notifications between two servers using Linux and I have run into a problem I can not seem to solve. I brought up an instant of both servers at the same time and called one server Server one and the other Server two. I ran the command on Server one "tile38-server" to bring up the server and kept it running the entire time. I then started a wehbook test consumer on Server two by typing the command "tile38-server --webhook-http-consumer-port 9851". I then created a webhook on Server one that points to an endpoint on Server two by typing the command "SETHOOK myhook http://server-2-ip:9851/endpoint NEARBY fleet FENCE POINT 33 -115 50000" (points, url, and distance varry). After this I then created Server one data in hopes that the geofence notifications would be delivered on server two but I did not get any notifications. Can someone please help me and tell me if I am doing something wrong? Thanks in advance for the help. Both servers acknowledged all the above commands and configurations properly.

Hi,

For

SETHOOK myhook http://server-2-ip:9851/endpoint NEARBY fleet FENCE POINT 33 -115 50000

Did you replace the server-2-ip with the ip address of the second server? Also the 9851 port should be opened for the server 2.

Hi Josh,

We are using AWS and have used public DNS, public IP and Private IP for server-2-ip. Security groups are configured for port 9851, 80, 8080 and open to all. I have also tested ICMP and successfully pinged sever 2 from server 1.

I just want to verify that we should see output on server2 in the ssh terminal that was used to start tile38 server (http://tidwall.com/entry/2018/06/18/quickly-set-up-tile38-geofence-notifications/)

STEP 1
./tile38-server

STEP 4

Output:
There are no new outputs to server 2 ssh terminal that was used to webhook-http-consumer in STEP 2

We were able to get this to work. Server1 was a laptop not on the AWS network and Server2 was a EC2 Server. So, we are thinking that the two EC2 servers are not able to communicate. Working to test that theory out.
