Nimble Streamer deployment automation

WMSPanel is the official UI for Nimble Streamer and it is available under subscription model. Nimble Streamer is the free of charge media server which can run fine on lower-end servers or Virtual Machines.
Our customers have long and successful story of using automation deployment of Nimble Streamer, e.g. using Amazon Elastic Cloud. Nimble Streamer can be configured independently of WMSPanel specifying all settings via changing configuration files in manual mode.

However, to add preconfigured Nimble Streamer to WMSPanel for obtaining full statistics it was necessary to add each server in the control panel manually via the import configuration procedure.

Performing manual manipulations is very inconvenient in case of large number of media servers. That's why Nimble Streamer allows automating the process of adding preconfigured media server to WMSPanel. Now it is enough to execute a single command:
sudo /usr/bin/nimble_regutil -u admin@account.com -p password --apply-rules-conf
After that regutil automatically transfers the Nimble Streamer settings from /etc/nimble/rules.conf file to WMSPanel, and saves the authorization settings to the /etc/nimble/nimble.conf file for sending data to the panel, without changing the other settings.

This capability is specifically useful when you need to organize the broadcast of a single scheduled event and to gather statistics for it (for example, a concert or the final of the National Cup). This scenario can be also used when you create your own CDN.

After adding in WMSPanel, each server can be configured via Web interface. Each operation of setting up a new streaming scenario can be applied to all servers instances  immediately.

With the described functionality, Nimble Streamer and WMSPanel users get additional benefits of automatic infrastructure deployment, best resilience and reliability of their streaming processes.
