-------------------------------

             Summary: Provide interface for monitoring services
                 Key: SLING-2597
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-2597
             Project: Sling
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Jörg Hoh



There should be an interface which one can query to get information about the 
status of a service implementing this interface.


eg.

public interface HealthCheckable {

  public int getStatus();

}

For the return value for this method we could use:

static int OK = 0;
static int WARNING = 1;
static int CRITICAL = 2;
static int UNKNOWN = 3;

(these are the values which Nagios uses as return values for its plugins, see 
http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/developer-guidelines.html#AEN76).

The decision what value is returned is delegated to the service, so maybe they 
need to have some configuration to define the points, where a "OK" becomes 
"WARNING".


Via OSGI whiteboard pattern we can collect then all services providing status 
information and calculate an overall status of the system.
