Collection of data--Northbound Interfaces

The first part of this discussion was a level set and review of the original charter since some of the members came to the project after the it was started.

The business problem is to simplify and standardize the interfaces that management products use.

The scenario is for a resource to advertise it's existence (event based "discovery"). The state of the resource will be reflected in the SML based MDR. Then COSMOS will begin to Monitor the resource through the standard interfaces. We will be able to control the resource through these interfaces as well.

We discussed ways to integrate with Nagios. We would like to be able to leverage and compliment existing Nagios installations. We need some recommendations from Craig Thomas on the right way to proceed.

We also would like to revisit how to collect information from SNMP and bridge to WSDM.

We are interested in working on resources that do not currently have well formed instrumentation and that have a degree of sex appeal in the industry. The two that we've considered are SCA (via the Apache Tuscany project) and virtualization (via Xen).

There was some initial work done by Joel on instrumenting SCA with WSDM. We will resurrect this code, clean it up and put it in the Management Enablement project. Then we'll post on the Tuscany mailing list that we've taken this first step.

Revive JMX bindings for annotations

  • We need to have the JMX collector capture events.
  • Need to have Event capturing / persistence for WEF

No in depth conversation was had on the Xen idea, but everyone agrees that having virtualized requires more information.


Priority

  • SCA (because we have some things working)
  • Virtualization (Xen) --Need to do some more exploration
  • SNMP - WSDM bridge
  • LAMP--Everyone already has this, so COSMOS would have limited value here.


Action Items

  • Joel will coordinate with Dennis and Carlos to draft initial roadmap/plan/set of tasks to define this work. This will tie into the reconciliation of the WSDM annotations and JAX-WS work. (The enhancement requests and plan will be prepared for the DC call on Tuesday Nov 13.)
  • Mark will create a wiki page with the visual of the scenario
  • Mark to draft initial roadmap/plan/set of tasks to define the virtualization work

(The enhancement requests and plan will be prepared for the DC call on Tuesday Nov 27.)

  • Don to re-engage with Bob Natalie from the IETF MIB2RDML project.
