Team, Hawkular Services 0.0.3.Final has just been released. This version includes Agent 0.19.0.Final and features the removal of the embedded Cassandra. You'll need a local installation of Cassandra running before you start the server. The distribution can be downloaded here: https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/service/local/repositories/releases/co... As the previous distributions, the Agent has to be configured with an user. This can be accomplished by: - Adding an user via bin/add-user.sh like: ./bin/add-user.sh \ -a \ -u <theusername> \ -p <thepassword> \ -g read-write,read-only - Changing the Agent's credential on standalone.xml to the credentials from the previous step or by passing hawkular.rest.user / hawkular.rest.password as system properties (-Dhawkular.rest.user=jdoe) Known issue: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/HWKINVENT-186 - Juca.
