While I agree that providing a gui for all XML file editing is a nice
goal, I think the challange should be taken in smaller steps.
Given the discussion on reworking the gui using gwt, I think this
effort kinda depends on the outcome of that discussion.
Once a course is chosen, taking a stab at service and datacollection
configuration GUIs would be a reasonable way to get the ball rolling,
but make it simpler to rework initial prototypes based on feedback.
Once a GUI format gains acceptance, extending it to encompass other
configuration files shouldn't be terribly difficult.
I'm not very familiar with the GUI side of the onms code base, but I
am a quick study. Once the afore mentioned GUI decisions are made,
i'll be happy to prototype something for my idea, if there's any buyin
for it.
Otherwise I'll look at the rrd jrdatasource.
Thanks,
Steve

Replace all cli editing of basic xml configuration files for
polling, discovery, capsd, etc to a simple UI will make a huge jump.
But after a first pass it will seem very much like a feature missing
NMS since it will be half baked. I think replacing cli editing of
xml files with the UI needs to be done so in one clean sweep as much
as possible.
Then again who am I...I don't program I only script.

Hi all,
I'm not sure what traction this might get, but one of the things I
think might drive adoption is a GUI to configure custom service
discovery and data collection.
For example:
Browsing the available mib tree on a device and selecting oids of
interest for collection, or browsing an mbean server for a jvm and
selecting mbean attributes for collection.
I see a lot of oppertunities to engage usage of the product if users
don't have to edit XML files. I appreciate that many users can, but in
my experience such a requirement causes many other potential users to
shy away.
Just a thought I'm throwing out there for feedback.
I doubt I'll be able to attend devjam myself, but I will be devoting
time to development as I can over the next 18 months (day job
permitting).
If this idea doesn't get traction I may focus on the rrd jrdatasouce
which, IMHO would be a big win for onms reporting.
Cheers,
Steve
