Current setup
See below for meeting minutes and so on.
Distribution of resources
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.
Need for dependent values
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
Admin down
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
Dynagroups
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.
