Agreed, Hawkular Services need more love, not to disappear.
It may be renamed to "Hawkular ManageIQ Provider" on the website if
that helps with clarity, but shouldn't disappear.
Also there is no quickstart anymore, it's very rough for people.
What!? This really comes as a surprise for me. All this time my thinking
was that "services" was the thing bundling all parts together and,
because of the quickstarts, I believed that "services" was the preferred
way to get Hawkular. This idea is further supported by exploring the
DockerHub, where only images of Hawkular-services are available.
Also, right after "Inventory" got removed, "services" and
"alerts" were
somewhat redundant for me because "metrics" is included with "alerts"
(and "services" also includes both). And, now, starting with "metrics
0.27.0
<
https://github.com/hawkular/hawkular-metrics/releases/tag/0.27.0>" I
can see that metrics also includes alerts. So, the thing looks more
redundant now. But with time I learned that "services" provides the
operations api, used by ManageIQ. I don't know if there are other
features provided by "services". But those extra features are not
documented in the website and people new to Hawkular won't realize
what's the idea behind "services".
