I'm working on a Dynamic Service Type plugin for 5.8.2 using the guidance in vFabric Hyperic Product Plug-in Development v.5.7 and while my plugin gets instantiated, none of the expected methods (discoverServiceTypes, and discoverServices) are invoked.
I've set up the agent such that the jvm waits for a debug connection from eclipse before proceeding so I can debug it. Further, it appears from inspecting the 5.8.2.2 source code that the plugin must specify the measurement-class, control-class, and template properties.
Can anyone offer suggestions about what might be going on, or where I should look for further details?
This is kind of an odd plugin in that it receives metric data on a server socket, and intends to create the service instance and metric details from its own inventory.
hq-plugin.xml isn't very big, so it's appended.
