How do we plan on distributing the Hawkular WildFly Agent now? Before, we had a WAR deployed in the server that had a single servlet running that would take an HTTP GET or POST request and based on the request would package up the agent installer with the latest agent extension and properly config the installer so when the agent was installed it could talk to that server where it came from. It would also allow the installer to give the agent the proper token credentials so it could talk to the server.

Is that WAR/servlet still going to be in the headless version? Just curious what the plans were for that.

This detail was specifically left out because we will need to clarify the requirements. Also, the way you described, the Agent is not necessarily part of the package but a payload of the package. Users can download an Agent via the distribution but is not an active service of the distribution; for example Metrics is an active service, Agent is not. The focus of this first email was on active services.
