IPF is a Python program that gathers resource information, formats it in a GLUE2 standard format (5), and publishes it to a RabbitMQ service. IPF is configured to run one or more “workflows” each defining the steps that IPF executes to collect, format, and publish a specific type of resource information.
Three install methods are available and listed below in ease of use order.
- Install from Github
- Install via Pip
