-----------------------------------
Summary: Download entity logs to local machine
Key: BROOKLYN-73
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BROOKLYN-73
Project: Brooklyn
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Sam Corbett
Imagined with Andrew Kennedy:
* An entity has a {{Sensor<File>}} that represents a file on its machine (e.g.
useful logs).
* A new API is added to {{SensorApi}} that when invoked downloads the file from
remote machine to Brooklyn machine, then responds with the file as
{{text/plain}}.
* Such sensors are presented with an appropriate RendererHint/action in the
jsgui. When clicked the browser prompts the user to download the file.
{{ConfigKeys}} that correspond to files templated and are copied to the server
(e.g. {{MONGODB_CONF_TEMPLATE_URL}}) could be automatically promoted to
downloadable files. This would be especially useful to determine exactly _what_
a template was transformed into.
As further goals we could:
* Give an indication of the size of the file to the user before they download
it. They probably don't want to download anything over a few hundred megabytes.
* Make the request/response asynchronous. The user requests a file download and
- if it is going to take more than three seconds to obtain - is notified when
it is available.
