This is exactly what I was trying to find out when I asked the
following
on the "Future Packaging of Hawkular" thread:
- what is the motivation for having the "Community Distribution"?
As I said before: I believe that to be attractive for community, a
product/project
needs to pass the "I can get it initially going in 5 minutes" test.
Which is/has been given before in all the Hawkular releases.
And which will no longer be true for the hawkular-core-services, as the
user needs to go through a number of additional steps to see something
on screen:
- install Cassandra
- install some kind of UI (e.g. download + configure Grafana)
- manually supply some data (curl, install wf+agent somewhere(*)
I do not believe that
"It was hard to create, so it should be hard to use"
should be applied.
Heiko
*) this may still be provided inside core-services. But then as
the Hawkular server is a black box, the detailed self-monitoring
as we have today may change.
