[GSoC] Hawkular Android Client
by Artur Dryomov
Hi everyone,
This year I will be working on the Hawkular Android client application as
part of the Google Summer of Code 2015 program.
The application itself will use Hawkular API and AeroGear SDK. In coming
days I’ll research these areas, especially documentation, and will try to
create some sort of architecture and basic design.
Thank you all for this opportunity!
Artur.

Hawkular Metrics Openshift Containers
by Matt Wringe
I have a new subproject in Hawkular Metrics which sets up creating
components for Openshift/Fabric8
(https://github.com/hawkular/hawkular-metrics/pull/200).
There are 3 main parts
Cassandra: creates a custom seed provider to support
ReplicationControllers in Kubernetes, creates a folder/zip archive which
can be used to generate a Docker image. It may make sense to move the
Cassandra parts out to a separate project.
Hawkular Metrics: creates a folder/zip archive which can be used to
generate a Docker image
Kubernetes: pulls everything together into a single kubernetes
application. Can be used to deploy an application zip into fabric8 (via
drag and drop in the web console or via the maven plugin) or deploy all
the components into Openshift via the kubernetes.json configuration file.
The docker images are not created and deployed to a docker registry as
part of the build, it will just create a folder where you can run the
docker build from. None of the maven docker plugins I looked at seemed
to really work properly, so its still a manual process to do the build
(and push to a registry). Its something which needs to be improved.
The Cassandra service currently only supports adding new nodes to a
cluster and not removing them via the ReplicationController. This is due
to the replication factor being set to be 1 by default (which means when
a node is removed, so is the data it contained).
I believe the docker subproject of hawkular metrics is obsolete and can
be removed
(https://github.com/hawkular/hawkular-metrics/tree/master/docker), but
someone please correct me if I am wrong. It's scripts are referring to
the console which no longer exists as part of the project.

Maven swagger plugin
by Gary Brown
Hi
The current version of the maven-swagger-plugin used by hawkular doesn't include derived types in the generated docs.
I've tried updating to 2.3.4 and it still does not work. From some basic tests with 3.0.0, it seems to produce the correct content in the json schema - but has slightly different attributes to the plugin configuration, which when updated does not seem to run the template correctly.
The other issue is some API changes when updating the com.wordnik:swagger-* dependencies in line with this maven plugin, as there have been some GAV and API changes.
Its not an urgent issue, but it looks like we will be impacted by changes when we need to upgrade, so thought I would raise the issue.

Tenant Id - Not Part of URL
by Stefan Negrea
Hello Everybody,
I've been working on a PR for the upcoming Hawkular Metrics release that will remove the tenant id from the end-point URLs. The tenant id will be moved to either a header parameter or a query parameter. The query parameter is in place for cases (such as curl) where setting a header is not possible, difficult, or inconvenient.
Here is an example of the change:
Existing URL:
/{tenantId}/gauge/{metricId}/data
New URL:
/gauge/{metricId}/data
Tenant id set via:
1) header - tenantId
2) query parameter - tenantId
There are two exceptions to this rule, /tenants and /db/{tenantid}/series. The /tenants end-point will be changed into something different in the upcoming releases since it is mostly a management type API that does not belong in the same place with the regular metrics endpoint. And /db/{tenantid}/series end-point is needed in this exact format for compatibility with Influxdb compatible services.
Now, to the merits of this change. The tenant id is volatile, can change any time, and changes to it should be expected; but the rest of the URL is fixed. The second issue is that the tenant id is a security concern. So we were limited in design choices since a security concern was leaking as part of the URL.
So removing the tenant id from the URL will give us permanent & consistent addresses for resources (metrics and metric data points). And we will gain a lot of flexibility on the security side. In the future, users could authenticate with a user/pass combo and the backend would transform that into a tenant id to be used on the request. If the same user later decides to use a tenant id to pass along the request, the URL of the resources would not change. Another expectation is that tenant id is not sufficient, it is typically a combo of id + secret; so we would have resorted to a header or query param for the second piece of information (the secret).
This change will give us the flexibility to adjust the security model (the meaning of tenant ids and ways to validate them) without compromising the URL structure. This will help Hawkular Metrics as it gets integrated into more and more projects and products.
Here are the links to the JIRA and the PR for this change:

Thank you,

hawkular wildfly agent - feed ID
by John Mazzitelli
There was some concern that the feed ID autogenerated by the agent might not be what a person always wants (e.g. feed ID for WF10 agents will be the unique UUID of the wildfly server).
So, if you want to define your own feed ID, you can configure it now. In the agent's standalone.xml <storage-adapter> you can specify a feedId attribute if you want. By default, it isn't specified, so the agent will autogenerate a unique feed ID for itself (this should really be the normal mode of operation, but some people like to complain, so I made it easy to shut them up :-)
This is in master. Will be in the next release.

[metrics] Internal stats?
by Heiko W.Rupp
Hey,
what internal stats of the Hawkular metrics do we currently collect?
I think Joel did some work for the C* part.
What I think we need is
- number of data points stored on a per tenant basis.
Resolution could be something like "last minute" or
"last 5 minutes" I.e. not realtime updates in the table.
- Total number of data points (i.e. sum over all tenants)
- Query stats. This is probably more complicated, as
querying on metrics that are still in some buffer is
cheaper than over 3 years of raw data.
To get started I'd go with # of queries per tenant and global
Those could perhaps be differentiated on
- raw endpoint
- stats endpoint
- What about alerting? More alert definitions certainly
need more cpu, so number of alert definitions per tenant
and total would be another pair.
- does number of fired alerts also make sense?
The idea behind those is to get some usage figures of the
shared resource "Hawkular metrics" and then to be able to
charge them back onto individual tenants e.g. inside of
OpenShift.

hosa status endpoint now secured behind openshift secret
by John Mazzitelli
If you are deploying HOSA using its makefile and you are using HOSA's status endpoint (heiko :-) you might want to update your blogs on this), just a heads up that the /status endpoint is now secured behind credentials defined in an openshift secret. So if you point your browser to the new route, for example, you'll see it asks you for username/password now.
By default, the status endpoint is disabled, but the yaml our Makefile uses will enable it and put it behind a secret that is created for you. The credentials are fixed in the secret the makefile creates (see the config.yaml example file to know what they are - its the same credentials that are in the secret) but you are free to base64 encode your own credentials in a secret and use that.
