[Hawkular-dev] Host agent ?

With embedded agents, we lost few main features: - Ability to discover servers that are off or not (yet) instrumented - Ability to start servers remotely - Ability to report DOWN availability (other than by lack of UP) Should we reintroduce a small (optional ?) host agent ? The agent would only fulfill those tasks (+ embedded agent installer) and redirect all other tasks to the embedded agents. We can address a limited set of platforms (Linux only) to start with, and maybe use environment specific features if those exists (Like RHEV-M host agent if appropriate) WDYT ? Thomas
