The Fuse Fabric discovery agent uses Fuse Fabric to discover the brokers in a specified group. The discovery agent requires that all of the discoverable brokers be deployed into a single fabric. When the client attempts to connect to a broker the agent looks up all of the available brokers in the fabric's registry and returns the ones in the specified group.

The Fuse Fabric discovery agent URI conforms to the syntax in Example 12.

fabric://GID

Where GID is the ID of the broker group from which the client discovers the available brokers.

The Fuse Fabric discovery agent requires that the discoverable brokers are deployed into a single fabric.

The best way to deploy brokers into a fabric is using Fuse Management Console. For information on using Fuse Management Console see Fuse Management Console Documentation.

You can also use the console to deploy brokers into a fabric. See Fabric Console Commands in Console Reference.

To use the agent a client must be configured to connect to a broker using a discovery protocol that uses a Fuse Fabric agent URI as shown in Example 13.

discovery://(fabric://nwBrokers)

A client using the URL in Example 13 will discover all the brokers in the nwBrokers broker group and generate a list of brokers to which it can connect.
