AFL-automation UUIDs#
This page explains the different kinds of UUIDs used in AFL-automation and an eccentric feature thereof.
Kinds of UUIDs#
UUIDs appear in at least four places in AFL-automation, and to distinguish the uses, we prepend two characters and a hyphen to the standard UUID:
Queue Daemon (QD-): uuid of a task in a queue. Returned by Driver.enqueue and used to retrieve status and results.
Sample (SA-): uuid of a specific sample, either generated on the client and passed into Driver.set_sample or generated by Driver.set_sample automatically. Used to cross-reference tasks across servers. See AFL-automation Data System
Dropbox (DB-): uuid of an item a server has deposited in its dropbox, used for storage and transfer of large objects that would be impractical to json-serialize and store in logs.
I FORGET : uuid of something else I forget
