Current master branch of Hawkular-Services already integrates our new inventory version.
There were changes on the provider code to use a new hawkular gem (not yet released) and changes on the manageiq core are to bump the gem version (currently using master) and to update the live metrics mapping.
Here are some details to demo it:
I’m attaching a docker-compose.yml (thanks Edgar) to make it easier to test.
1) You should have ManageIQ dependencies already installed, you can follow this getting started [1] right before “Cloning and configuring the application”
2) Clonning the updated repositories (currently my forks [2, 3])
mkdir ManageIQ-inventoryv4 && cd ManageIQ-inventoryv4
cd manageiq
echo override_gem 'manageiq-providers-hawkular', path: File.expand_path(\"../../manageiq-providers-hawkular\", __dir__) >> bundler.d/vendor.rb
./bin/setup
2) Start hawkular services (with the attached docker-compose.yml)
docker compose up
3) Start manageiq (in manageiq path)
bundle exec rake evm:start
At this point you should have everything ready to add a middleware provider to hawkular and see the usual data there but using the new inventory backend.
Note: This is not about using Prometheus (yet).
