EPAgent Stateful plugin

[Legacy User]

The metric generated from a stateful plugin with EPAgent is maintained or repeated in the following periods.
Exist similar configuration to

introscope.epagent.stateless.TRAP.metricNotReportedAction=zero

for stateful plugin

• Stateful
  These plug-ins are expected to be long running scripts (daemons) to be started when the EPAgent starts and run indefinitely. These stateful plug-ins can feed data back into Introscope at any time through the standard plug-in output channel. When a stateful plug-in terminates, the EPAgent restarts the plug-in.

A stateful EPAgent plugin does run continuously.

Thanks Francis,

 

My problem is solved by defining the metric type as PerIntervalCounter, I have previously used IntCounter, this type holds the same value until the metric changes. This is independent of the stateful or stateles for the plugins definition into the IntroscopeEPAgent.properties file

Dear Fernando:

Thanks for sharing the solution. How did you find the resolution?  The response given was to a general question. since I don't see a screenshot The original note was unclear if it was an information question or a problem.needing resolution. Specific questions generally get better responses. 

 

How did you find out the resolution? Was the documentation helpful in this process or needs additional clarification

Thanks

Hi Hal,

 

I reviewed a old documentation from CA, a ppt with the description for each metric data type. I developed many plugins for this customer, and in this plugin, the "copy&paste" betrayed me. I developed all plugins on perl and my focus I was  centred in the thirdty perl modules used. And I took time to remember the behavior of data types for metrics.

My apologies for questions that are not extensive and clear. I will be more careful in describing my questions. Thank you very much for the willingness of all to answer my questions.

 

Another them, our customer used others solutions as Tivoli (ominibus), Splunk and Tealeaf. We have strong competition with Splunk primarily because of the graphical capability of deploying this solution and by some monitoring components that have prevailed over CA (example: CA App Synthetic Monitor) solutions. In this sense you know if there are planned improvements CA APM in the graphical handling of the data for the dashboards.

 

Thanks
