I wrote a plugin for Buildbot (http://buildbot.net/trac) monitoring, but I am unable to get it to work like I'd want/expect.
Here's what I would like: basic process information (mem, cpu, ...), basic HTTP info (response time & code), report number of successful and failed builds. I thought I'd put the process info in a server tag, and treat the HTTP part as service. When I test the plugin from the command line it reports the server and one service were autodiscovered, but I don't get any metrics on the command line, and only the metrics for the server part in the UI. And of the server metrics, only 2 are included by default in the indicator view, even though I would have expected 3.
I am running 4.0.0 RC1. I put the buildbot-plugin.xml file into bundles/agent-4.0.0-889/pdk/plugins/buildbot-plugin.xml for the agent, and hq-engine/server/default/deploy/hq.ear/hq-plugins/buildbot-plugin.xml for the server. I restart the agent after each update of the XML file.
buildbot-plugin.xml:
