[Hawkular-dev] wildfly agent: jmx/jolokia and prometheus support

[John Mazzitelli]

There is a concern that the Hawkular WildFly Agent is bloated with stuff people aren't really using or are going to use and is going to make maintaining it more complicated than it needs to be.

So I want to get feedback on the following plan. This is being tracked in JIRA here: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/HWKAGENT-142

We are going to take out support for JMX/Joloxia and Prometheus managed endpoints. The agent will only support collecting metrics from "DMR endpoints" (that means WildFly Servers - either in standalone or domain mode).

Rather than lose the code for the JMX/Jolokia and Prometheus support, we are going to fork master into a separate branch. If we ever do need to resurrect that code, or someone wants to build an agent with those features to play around with, we'd have that branch available.

Thoughts?
