Hello Everybody, I am happy to announce release 0.13.0 of Hawkular Metrics. This release is anchored by Hawkular integration enhancements, under-the-cover refactorings and fixes, and a new bulk data generation tool. Here is a list of major changes in this release: 1) Data Generation Tool * A new tool that generates bulk metrics data to be used in performance and load testing. * It generates directly Cassandra data files (SSTables), which leads to a very fast generation process for large amounts of metrics data. * For more details: https://github.com/hawkular/hawkular-metrics/tree/master/data-generator (HWKMETRICS-355) 2) Receive Metrics via Hawkular Bus * When deployed within Hawkular distribution, the project now accepts metrics via the Hawkular Bus; until now only the REST API had support for Metrics insertion. * Hawkular Metrics currently support publishing of newly inserted metrics to the bus and receiving metrics via the bus. * For more details: HWKMETRICS-347, HWKMETRICS-352 3) Sorted Stacked Metrics Results * When requesting stacked metrics aggregation the results are now ordered (HWKMETRICS-353) 4) External Integrations * Heapster sink now divides storing to multiple calls. This is an improvement over the initial implementation that had one REST API call per metric (HWKMETRICS-290) * ptrans now works with a Hawkular Metrics instance protected by Hawkular Accounts via Hawkular distribution (HWKMETRICS-342) * Grafana integration via Influxdb compatible end-point allows connections to a Hawkular Metrics instance protected by Hawkular Accounts via Hawkular distribution (HWKMETRICS-343) Github Release: https://github.com/hawkular/hawkular-metrics/releases/tag/0.13.0 JBoss Nexus Maven artifacts: http://origin-repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/repositories/public/org/...
