Custom Miner commit error : Unknown Node Class : minemeld.ft.azure.AzureChinaJSON in Azure-China-Min

[shanu2405]

Hello,

I am trying to create a custom miner for Azure China feed. I have successfully tested it in one of the servers, but it doesn't let me commit when I create a Miner.

Already applied the solution from https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/t5/MineMeld-Discussions/how-to-write-a-simple-miner-documentation/...

Below are the steps I followed:

1. Edit azure.py file and added a new class - AzureChinaJSON which parses the IPs from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=57062

2. Edited the azure.yml file to add prototype - ChinacloudIPsWithServiceTags, referencing class: minemeld.ft.azure.AzureChinaJSON

3. Updated the nodes.json file inside /minemeld/engine/current/ to find its entrypoint:

"minemeld.ft.azure.AzureChinaJSON": {
"class": "minemeld.ft.azure:AzureChinaJSON"
},

4. Ran "/<path>/minemeld/engine/current/bin/pip install -e /<path>/minemeld/engine/core"

Although, I don't understand what this command does.

5. In GUI, when I look for prototype, it looks good with the correct Class called. I can create a Miner with that, but the error pops up.

Again, this works on a test server. The only difference is this one doesn't have MineMeld installed in default /core directory. 

Does it make any difference? 

I have attached the three files I updated.

Thank you in advance:)

Solved:

The file nodes.json needs to be updated at /opt/minemeld/engine/core folder as well. Not sure why, but it doesn't work until I restart the system.
