[Hawkular-dev] Is this an applicable use-case for Hawkular

Hi Anton

It sounds like from your scenario, you are just interested in reporting a specific business event, in which case I believe it is possible to just create your own metric with data points, using the metrics REST API - however I'll let the members of the metrics team comment more on that.

If you are interested in recording more information about your business transaction, then you may want to consider Hawkular BTM. Its currently possible to capture the 'call trace' of a business transaction instance and analyse the information using Kibana - you can also extract relevant properties from the txn (e.g. affiliate) and use that information to focus any queries.

The intention is to integrate at the backend with Hawkular Metrics and Alerts, but this isn't in place at the moment.

Regards
Gary
