- Registration of the Platform: Every Agent receives a unique id from the CMR so all measurements can be associated to this Agent. Different information is needed to create that id:
- Network Interfaces: A list of the network interfaces on the target computer has to be collected. As this is not sufficient because of several Agents on the same computer with different JVM's the following information is needed, too.
- Agent Name: A self-defined Agent name, provided in a configuration file for example, has to be specified, too.
Registration of Sensor Types:
...
As new sensor types can be plugged in easily into the Agent system, they have to be registered so that the CMR knows which sensor types are active on that specific Agent. There are two different sensor types available:
...
Method and Platform sensor types. Method sensor types are collecting data from instrumented methods, thus their measurement/data container needs additional information of which method this container belongs to. Platform sensor types on the other hand collect data (automatically or requested by the user) of the target system or the target virtual machine. Both sensor types are registered by the CMR by passing the Platform id and the fully qualified class name. A successful register process will return a unique ID for this sensor type.
- *Registration of Methods: * Every instrumented method needs to be registered in the CMR. A successful register process will return a unique ID for this sensor type.
