I want to write a plugin that monitors a perfmon object's instances without hardcoding the instances in the plugin.
For example, in perfmon I see a Processor object that has 3 instances 0, 1, and _Total
So I could monitor those instances with a plugin like this
<plugin>
<server name="Processor Services" platforms="Win32">
<plugin type="measurement" class="org.hyperic.hq.product.MeasurementPlugin"/>
<plugin type="autoinventory" class="org.hyperic.hq.product.DaemonDetector"/>
<property name="PROC_QUERY" value="Pid.Service.eq=Processor"/>
<filter name="template" value="win32:Object=Processor,Instance${alias}% Processor Time" />
<metric name="Processor: 0" alias="=0:" />
<metric name="Processor: 1" alias="=1:"/>
<metric name="Processor: _Total" alias="=_Total:"/>
</server>
</plugin>
note - My aliases have some redundant characters ( = and : ) I had to do in this to meet the 3 character minimum for aliases.
I want to monitor some objects that have different instances between client machines and would like to specify the object and have the instances picked up dynamically.
I overrode the getServerResources to return the list of servers as 0, 1, _Total but do not know how to make use of this information without hard-coding the instance names in the xml.
Any tips? Do any of the example plugins do something similar? I have looked through them and did not notice any.
Thanks,
Tony
