Installation

Install the application using gem.

Running the app

Once installed copy the peak.conf.example file over to peak.conf in the /etc directory, then edit the file and replace it with your details. Next just run the application with the following command.

peak run

There isn’t much to the application right now, the application is still pre-release so more features and configuration options should be added soon. For now the application will display all packets read in and send out a status, id, and beacon packet every 10 minutes.
