Launch Sherlock

To launch Sherlock, use the launch_sherlock() method. This method takes an optional port parameter and automatically searches for the latest version of Sherlock installed locally. It then launches the Sherlock gRPC server on the port specified. If a port is not specified, port 9090 is used.

This method also launches a Sherlock client connected to the same port and returns a sherlock gRPC connection object that can be used to invoke the APIs from their respective services.

This code starts the Sherlock gRPC server on the default port:

from ansys.sherlock.core import launcher
sherlock = launcher.launch_sherlock()

This code uses the optional port parameter to start the Sherlock gRPC server on port 11000:

from ansys.sherlock.core import launcher
sherlock = launcher.launch_sherlock(port=11000)

You can use the Common.check() method to perform a health check on the sherlock gRPC connection object:

sherlock.common.check()
