GSoC Hackystat Weekly Update 10

Last week:

More documentation, i created also a section that is an introduction to Hackystat, when its finished i will also produce a ten page long PDF out of it, maybe there is some interest.

I found a cool Java library called JAMon (http://jamonapi.sourceforge.net/) to monitor Java Applications and JDBC. I think the JDBC monitoring could be useful for Sensorbase, while the Java monitoring expects to run the application as Java Object. So far the HSM runs and stops the service over Java Processbuilder, but I will investigate if there is another integration method. Anyway I keep on looking for JVM Monitoring tools: like Java VisualVM (In which one cannot access the internals), but i found out that it is based on jvmstats.
Philip pointed my in an e-mail to Epsilon (http://www.obix-labs.com/dr/bin/view/Epsilon/), but for me the website is not reachable since weeks.

I started a thread in the mailing list on the Hackystat CBR cases, and I started to analyze and write down how the ideas in the mailing-list could be implemented. Therefore I create a little PDF (http://www.weitz.lu/cbrfeatures_draft.pdf) initializing the list of features that each service provide. It is to implement these features as metrics in the monitoring agents of the HSM and to expand the list.

This week:

Finishing the first three chapters of the documentation (Introduction, Background (Software architecture, SOA, REST, Hackystat) and “Autonomous service oriented computing” (CBR)). Thus “Autonomous service oriented computing in Hackystat”, still to go. Expanding the CBR feature list and play around with its implementation on the monitoring level and think about the cases and their implementation.
