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" 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".
