OK, here are some thoughts then to consider.
* Collectd (or other monitoring frontend) on each host will probably be
sending measurements at least every minute or more often (VNFs may have longer
cycles but for bare metal hosts I imagine we would want measurements at least
every minute).
Bryan:
Interesting question. It is similar to getting VNF events from an EMS or OAM
vm. The reason and rationale for heartbeat event was to avoid sending
pings/queries to the devices but having DCAE analytics capable of analyzing
heartbeat and metrics to determine health status of the device
Alok,
Thinking about the shared Agent (ves_app.py from Barometer) design, in which we
don't need an agent running on each node, but can use a single agent running on
the local cloud which aggregates VES events from the Kafka bus, it brings up
the question of how heartbeats are supposed to work
