vss-setup-behavior-analytics

vss-setup-behavior-analytics is an NVIDIA operational skill for deploying the vss-behavior-analytics service as a standalone container, separate from the full warehouse blueprint stack. It solves the problem of bringing up just the spatial-AI analytics pipeline with a user-chosen entrypoint, configuration source, and optional calibration, so operators can run analytics without spinning up the rest of the warehouse profile. The SKILL.md itself handles routing and prerequisites, deferring the full walkthrough (entrypoint table, config-source options, calibration types, dynamic-update wire contract) to reference documents under references/.

Capability-wise it uses Docker Compose to launch the service (for example bringing up vss-behavior-analytics-base from the analytics compose file), requires a repo checkout with VSS_APPS_DIR pointing at the deploy/docker directory for volume binds, and pulls images using NGC credentials supplied via an environment variable. It documents a rich JSON configuration surface consumed by the service's AppConfig — sensors, coordinate reference systems, messaging blocks (Kafka, Redis Streams, MQTT), incident detection thresholds, proximity and trajectory settings — and supports dynamic config and calibration updates over a broker when one is available. Troubleshooting covers connection-refused, NGC 401/403, and GPU out-of-memory cases.

It targets developers and operators who want to run NVIDIA VSS behavior analytics standalone. It performs container deployment and configuration, so it is an operational tool, but credentials are handled through official NGC environment-variable conventions with no exfiltration, and the referenced configuration is standard service tuning.
