Re: [Hawkular-dev] the name of our hawkular agent/wildfly monitor/feed is confusing - I'm fixing it

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. :) ----- Original Message ----- > 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. > > On Monday, November 02, 2015 10:06:13 Thomas Heute wrote: >> +1 >> >> On Sat, Oct 31, 2015 at 12:02 AM, John Mazzitelli <mazz(a)redhat.com&gt; wrote: >>> As I'm writing code and docs and javadocs all around, I realize that the >>> name of our "agent" is utterly confused.
