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

[Jay Shaughnessy]

Anton, yes, it can be a little confusing.  The Hawkular project is an 
end-to-end monitoring and management tool focused on Red Hat software.  
Today it basically offers a Wildfly agent for discovering and managing 
app servers, their hosted apps, and all of the things that make up those 
apps.  What is can handle grows with every release.  Hawkular leverages 
a bunch of components to perform that job.  There is HK-Inventory to 
represent a network of inventories resources (like an app server, a 
datasource, a jvm, etc), HK-Metrics as a Cassandra-backed time-series 
store, HK-Alerts as a Drools-backed alerting tool, HK-Accounts as a 
KeyCloak backed multi-tenant/auth/authz tool, HK-Console for UI, HK-Bus 
for a comm backbone, etc..

Some of the HK components, namely HK-Metrics and HK-Alerts support 
standalone deployment outside of Hawkular.  They are named 
Hawkular-Metrics and Hawkular-Alerts because they have been developed as 
part of the Hawkular project, but they can be used independently.  Hope 
that helps...
