See below for meeting minutes and so on.
This page shows the current setup within the AS 7 plugin.
Domain controller is discovered only where it is running
Host controller on other hosts, when an agent is running there
Managed AS 7 instances are discovered via rhq agent
The domain controller can list all managed instances and we discover them even without an agent at the moment.
The next graphic shows two inventory trees. Snert has the domain controller, pintsize a 'dependent' host controller.
This graphic shows values needed when setting up a new managed AS server.
A good part of the values needs to be set to values that already exist in the system
In the previous two screen shots, server-three is not down, because it has crashed, but because it was not yet enabled by the administrator
AS 7 groups servers into server-groups as seen above.
We need support to automatically group them.
The following DynaGroup instance shows the expression:
This shows the resulting groups.
Rethink admin-down and investigate what needs to change
pilhuhn add auto-uninventory to that wiki-page
investigate more on ways to do auto-import
pilhuhn Investigate more about the semantic of linking between items in the RHQ model
pilhuhn Check with as7 about audit logging of as7 operations
pilhuhn write a wiki page about this deployment handling (or find the existing one)
ips helps with figuring out how this can be done
Investigate more what it takes to support pseudo-platforms and agentless management
pilhuhn Add this stream of toughts to the above wiki page
The three items to concentrate on are
linking between RHQ model elements
dependent values
auto-import
