One thing that would make integration with existing monitoring systems easier would be to expose our common JMX metrics additionally as simple web interfaces that provide JSON, similar to how other ecosystem projects do.
I'd really, really like us to focus on our core project goal. We already have enough work to do. Getting simple integration points in place and then contributing to an existing monitoring project will help both us and the wider ecosystem. -Sean On Mon, May 12, 2014 at 9:24 AM, Mike Drob <[email protected]> wrote: > Al, > > There's an existing JIRA for packaging the monitor as a war - > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-1325 - so that is a good > place to start. > > There's also been some discussion about going the other way - instead of > building up the monitor we could tear it down and let somebody else > maintain that code.
