Re: [Hawkular-dev] Sending data to metrics via Pinger - bus? REST?

With the latest update of metrics, it seems that the Pinger is now broken: Metrics is now protected via Accounts, meaning that REST calls would need to include auth data, which are not available to pinger. Pinger is a process that runs on Hawkular server, so, either we would need to get a token from users when they first request an URL to be monitored, or we would need to somehow send data to Metrics "directly". Of course, the bus comes to my mind. I'm sure this was discussed at length before, but I just want to catch up on the current state of things. My understanding is that Pinger would send a "PingerResult" to a topic, where interested parties would be listening. Inventory and Metrics would be such parties: a Topic Listener on each of those components would be responsible for doing inventory-specific and metrics-specific logic. The question, though, is: where would this code reside? Heiko's idea is that this would be part of a "glue", ie, a code "somewhere inside Hawkular". In my view, the glue is the bus, so, this should reside within the component itself. In metrics case, the listener would probably be inside the "hawkular-component" module. The code on "hawkular-component" would just listen to this topic and call MetricsService. What would be the most appropriate way to have the pinger's results stored in metrics? - Juca. _______________________________________________ hawkular-dev mailing list hawkular-dev(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/hawkular-dev
