[Hawkular-dev] Hawkular Metrics 0.9.0 - Release & Beyond

[Stefan Negrea]

Hello Everybody,

I am happy to announce that release 0.9.0 of Hawkular Metrics was published on Friday. This is a regular schedule release anchored by integration enhancements for Hawkular project via Hawkular Bus.


Here is a list of major changes in this release:

1) Hawkular integration
  * When deployed within Hawkular, the project now publishes metrics insertion events on the Hawkular Bus for consumption by interested parties (HWKMETRICS-83, HWKMETRICS-10)
  * Added support for publishing large amounts of events (HWKMETRICS-315)

2) Improved tag query
  * It is now possible to query metrics by tag via respective metric type end-points: /gauges, /counters, /availability (HWKMETRICS-317)

3) InfluxDB compatibility
  * Added millisecond unit support (HWKMETRICS-32)

Hawkular Metrics 0.10.0 & Beyond:
1) Continuous agggregation - this has been a long term project goal and we are getting closer with refining the requirements and infrastructure
2) Improved docker and kubernetes support - this is a long term goal for the project
3) Improved tag support - to add bulk tag operations and tag queries
4) Improved aggregate downsampling for multiple metrics - the project has now a base with recently added stacking and uniform support; the goal is to expand the aggregation methods
5) Improved integration of Hawkular Metrics and Hawkular Alerts - this will be added the our long term development goals with the initial integration phase part of the release scheduled at the end of November. Keep and eye on both projects and the mailing list for more announcements.
