Casper Architecture Diagram

[jarednichols]

Does anyone have a good Casper architecture diagram that helps explain the infrastructure & apps interaction to the uninitiated? I was looking through some old Casper documentation and way back in my version 6.0 admin guide there's a great, simple diagram on page 13 (follow along at home, folks).

As nice as it is, I'd like to tweak it a bit (e.g. replace Casper VNC with OS X's Screen Sharing) and also include things like MDM that the suite does now, along with labeling ports etc.

Don't know if there's something "standard" out there that we all could use. No sense in us all re-inventing the wheel, right? Worst comes to worse, I can re-create page 13 fairly easily and share it out in OmniGraffle format or something.

Check out page three...

I opened that up in Illustrator and found a very editable vector file and added some personalized text for an internal presentation.

Why not submit the stencil to GraffleTopia?

i'd like to see a detailed db schema and documentation for all the million .jsp components, too. does that already exist?

Darrin-
That's a good one on page 3. Pretty much exactly what I'm looking for. I think I'll crib it.

Nate-
Can't MySQL Workbench map a bunch of the schema stuff out?

probably. but it would be nice for jamf to supply this along with some of the design specs for the system. i'd rather not have to dig for it. if it were a free, open source package, i'd expect to do some digging.

I whipped up an OmniGraffle stencil with the Casper icons. If anyone would like it, shoot me an email off-list

@jescala

Probably because I didn't know it existed :) I'll do it in a bit!

If you've emailed me for it and we've had trouble getting it to you because of my mail server's propensity for stripping off attachments, this'll certainly work for you :)
