I think this would be a great value add to Activemq. I have given some thought to this use case, and here is a proposal: Phase 1: Provide an aggregate view of 'producing' and 'consuming' capacities (treat the Network of brokers as if it were a 'logical broker'). For example, customer points their browser to http://my_logical_broker.mydomain.com and views graphical representation of capacities (similar to network flow tools) and has the ability to drill down for more detailed info. Behind the scenes, customer connects to 'any' of the real brokers behind the logical broker (http://my_logical_broker.mydomain.com, in the example) without a 'monitoring single point of failure'. Phase 2: of this idea will enable a customer to do some operations (e.g., add/delete consuming capacities) right from that screen. In terms of implimentation details, think of my_logical_broker.mydomain.com as an SRV entry in the DNS.
Agreed. The current activemq-web-console does this already pretty much - its more a case of providing an aggregated view of all the brokers rather than just one. So we can reuse much of the web app and views - its more a case of providing a composite broker view and dealing with broker discovery. -- James ------- http://radio.weblogs.com/0112098/
