Updating the Recording Server configuration

Milestone AI Bridge continually monitors and synchronizes changes detected in the Recording Server configuration. Implementing major changes to the configuration impacts the performance of Milestone AI Bridge because each change will trigger a new synchronization.

If you plan to implement major changes to the Recording Server configuration, for example, adding, moving, or removing many cameras or adding or removing additional recording servers, start by shutting down Milestone AI Bridge. When you have implemented your changes, re-start Milestone AI Bridge and any IVA applications.

How you stop and start your Milestone AI Bridge installation will depend on whether you use docker compose container or Kubernetes pods.

Stopping and starting docker compose containers

You can stop all running docker compose containers without removing them and start all existing docker compose containers by using the terminal and command line interfaces.

To stop all docker compose containers

On the processing server, open a terminal and run the command: docker compose down

To start all docker compose containers

On the processing server, open a terminal and run the command: docker compose --parallel 1 up -d

Stopping and starting Kubernetes clusters and pods

Unlike stopping and starting docker compose containers, Kubernetes clusters and pods cannot be paused or stopped. Instead, you must remove the pods and reinstall them.
