Hi, I'm a bit late tot he party. Thinking about it, it's a pretty obvious requirement, to have some statistics about the jvm reported regularly. I think it should be pretty easy to spin up a Source Component for that, e.g., using the library noted by chris. This source could the be polled repeatedly with whatever frequency you want.
If you like to do so, chris or I can give you some further hints about that as we both already implemented sources for edgent.

I'm using is in a Scala Akka Actor, but it shouldn't be difficult to see how to use it in Java: https://github.com/chrisdutz/RAPIRO/blob/master/server/telemetry/src/main/scala/de/codecentric/iot/rapiro/telemetry/actors/TelemetryActor.scala ... but thinking about it ... I think it would be a great option to add a Edgent Source providing such data. Because with this, you could eventually create data-streams that adapt to the load on the Edge device ... It shouldn't be hard to implement ... and as I posted in my reply on the other thread, I don't think Edgent currently has something like that. I just did a quick full-text-search and couldn't find anything? Feel tempted to implement such a connector? We're currently trying to re-initiate the committer-base of Edgent and contributions like this would be highly valued :-) Chris Am 18.11.18, 12:44 schrieb "Felipe Gutierrez" <felipe.o.gutier...@gmail.com>: Hi, On the Edgent documentations is mentioned: "You can send data from an Edgent application to your back-end system when you need to perform analysis that cannot be performed on the edge device, such as: Running a complex analytic algorithm that requires more resources, such as CPU or memory, than are available on the edge device." ( https://edgent.apache.org/docs/overview) I understood that the Edgent daemon on the device is constantly monitoring its properties (CPU and memory) and this daemon decides to not perform the analytics on the RPi when it has lack of resource but perform on a layer above. Is it right? How can I implement a program using Edgent to send this type of metadata to a layer above? Let's say I want to sent metadata regarding CPU, memory and storage usage from the RPi to an IoT gateway.
