LiveWire Engines View

Beginning with LiveWire 25.2.0, the engines will be displayed in the Engines View according to the following rules:

  • Non-group engines created by the user will be visible to only that user.
  • Group engines will be visible to all users assuming the user has the ACL permission to Configure Group Engines

Clicking on the “Insert” button displays a dialog allowing you to insert a new engine.

For a LiveWire that has support for the Authentication Group Secret (v24.3.0+), the user will have the option in the “Connection” section for “Connect with an authentication group.” If the LiveWire does not have this support, this option is hidden and the user will have to select one of the other two options. If the user selects the “Connect with an authentication group” option in the “Connection” section, this newly inserted engine will be a group engine.

If the host engine has support for the Authentication Group Secret (v24.3.0+) and the Authentication Group Secret is not empty, then the default Connection for new engines will be “Connect with an authentication group.”

Also, the user will now be restricted to either enter no Name or a unique Name.

For a LiveWire that has support for group engines (v25.2.0+), the “Test Connection” button will be displayed in the “Connection” section when the Connection is “Connect with an authentication group.”

Clicking the “Test Connection” button will cause the engine to try and communicate with the LiveWire at the specified host using the Authentication Group Secret. A success or failure message will be displayed to let the user know the test result.

For a LiveWire that has support for group engines (v25.2.0+), inserting a group engine in the Engines List for this LiveWire will also automatically add a group engine for this LiveWire in the group engine’s Engines List, assuming the group engine also has support for group engines (v25.2.0+). This automatic insert will occur on the group engine when the first group engine heartbeat is sent (see below).
