[Hawkular-dev] Fwd: [wildfly-dev] Administrator Encouragement

[John Doyle]

I like the concept that subsystems can provided notifications to a central system.  I have to imagine that's going to result in more and better warnings than if an external systems is responsible for monitoring all subsystems and creating warnings.  But it only covers use cases where the subsystem has all the data it needs.  There's still a place for a higher order of analysis.

That central system should also provide an API for external systems rather than just report warnings through the WF GUI.
