We still call things "feeds". To me, feeds are a superset - they are ANYTHING
that are clients to Hawkular (shell scripts, python apps, cron jobs) and this includes
more fully-featured agents.
The Hawkular WildFly Agent is something that runs inside of Wildfly as an extension
subsystem. Its a type of feed. We could have called it Hawkular WildFly Feed, but frankly,
I think that would have made people look at it crosseyed too. People know what a
management agent is; "feed" not so much.
So, an agent is a type of feed - its a more fully featured hawkular feed.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it. :)

So does this mean the "feeds" in inventory should be
renamed to "agents",
too?
I thought that we wanted to move away from using the word agent but frankly I
don't care too much.
