Iris Spaces

Enabling the Space for Iris:

  • enables the Space data to be accessed via S3 protocol by the suite of Iris applications (Vision, AI+, Ngenea)

  • creates an hourly schedule to send notifications of file changes within the Space to the Iris event queue. To change the schedule interval, edit the Schedule within Space settings or the Schedules page.

To enable Iris applications to access a Space, enable the Space for Iris.

Spaces Iris enable slider

Enabling a Space for Iris automatically creates an iris-notify schedule for the Space which can be managed from the Space settings or the Schedules page.

The iris-notify schedule periodically sends notifications of file events within the Space from the Pixstor file system to the centralised Iris notification queue.

Users can successfully access Spaces (Vision:’Buckets’) where:
