Hi
On the team call just now, Heiko raised a question about whether the BTM agent could work
with the Hawkular agent. So thought I would start this discussion thread to see what the
potential options are.
I currently see two issues:
1) The BTM agent must be configured on the jvm command line as a "-javaagent" to
install ByteMan for instrumentation purposes. This is instantiated before the JBoss
modules (and therefore subsystems etc) are initialised.
2) The hawkular agent won't necessarily be installed in all monitored servers, and
instead remotely monitor some. The BTM agent would need to be installed in all servers
where business transactions are executing.
One type of integration that may be possible is in terms of delivering the captured
business transaction information to the backend? i.e. the BTM agent locally reports it to
the Hawkular agent as a relay?
Thoughts?
Regards
Gary
