Method Detail

updateAgentInstall

org.rhq.core.domain.install.remote.AgentInstall updateAgentInstall(org.rhq.core.domain.auth.Subject user,
                                                                 org.rhq.core.domain.install.remote.AgentInstall agentInstall)

Persists install information on a new agent. If the agent install record doesn't exist, a new one will be created. If it looks like this agent install information already exists, it will be reused and its fields are just updated with the new data found in the given object.

Parameters:

user - who wants to update the data

agentInstall -

getAgentInstallByAgentName

org.rhq.core.domain.install.remote.AgentInstall getAgentInstallByAgentName(org.rhq.core.domain.auth.Subject user,
                                                                         String agentName)

Returns the agent install information for the named agent. If the agent doesn't exist or if there is no known agent install information for the agent, null is returned.

Parameters:

user - who wants to get the data

agentName - name of the agent whose install information is to be returned

Returns:

install information or null if not available

backfillAgentInNewTransaction

void backfillAgentInNewTransaction(org.rhq.core.domain.auth.Subject subject,

Given an agent token string, this will look up and return the Agent associated with that token. If the given token is invalid, null is returned. This method is very efficient if you want to find a single agent by its token. If you need to get more than one agent, you could use findAgentsByCriteria.

Parameters:

token - the agent token

Returns:

the agent whose agent token matches the given token; null if there is no agent with the given token

Parameters:

address - the address that the agent is bound to

port - the port at the given address that the agent is listening on

agentIsShuttingDown

void agentIsShuttingDown(String agentName)

This method is called whenever an agent is going down.

This will usually be triggered when an agent explicitly tells us that it is shutting down. See CoreServerService.agentIsShuttingDown(String).

Parameters:

agentName - the name of the agent that is going down

agentIsAlive

void agentIsAlive(org.rhq.core.domain.resource.Agent agent)

Call this method to see if there are agents that we might suspect are down. This is periodically called via our scheduled job CheckForSuspectedAgentsJob.

isAgentVersionSupported

AgentVersionCheckResults isAgentVersionSupported(AgentVersion agentVersion)

Determines if the given agent version is supported by this server. In other words, this will return true if this server can talk to any agent of the given version.

Parameters:

agentVersion - the version of the agent to verify

Returns:

POJO whose isSupported is true if this server can support an agent with the given version; if the server knows it cannot communicate successfully with an agent of that version, false will be in the POJO's isSupported attribute. The POJO also contains agent version information on the latest known agent available.

getAgentUpdateVersionFile

File getAgentUpdateVersionFile()
                               throws Exception

Returns the path on the server's file system where the agent update version file is found. The agent update version file contains information about the agent update binary, such as what version it is.

Returns:

agent update version file location

Throws:

Exception - if the file could not be created or found

getAgentUpdateVersionFileContent

Properties getAgentUpdateVersionFileContent()
                                            throws Exception

Returns the content of the agent update version file, which simply consists of some name/value pairs. The agent update version file contains information about the agent update binary, such as what version it is.

Returns:

version properties found in the agent update version file.

Throws:

Exception - if cannot read the agent update version file

getAgentUpdateBinaryFile

File getAgentUpdateBinaryFile()
                              throws Exception

Throws:

Exception - if the binary file does not exist

getAgentDownloadDir

@Deprecated
File getAgentDownloadDir()
                         throws Exception

Deprecated.

DO NOT USE THIS. You should be using one of the getAgentUpdateXXX methods directly rather than looking in the download directory. Not all agent update files are located in this download directory anymore. This API will be removed from the public API in the near future.

Throws:

Exception

setAgentBackfilledInNewTransaction

void setAgentBackfilledInNewTransaction(int agentId,
                                      boolean backfilled)

Do this in its own transaction to minimize locking on the agent table.

Parameters:

agentId -

backfilled -

isAgentBackfilled

boolean isAgentBackfilled(int agentId)

Returns true if the agent is "suspect" and has been backfilled. A "suspect agent" means one that the server suspects is down. When an agent is suspect, all of its resources, including the platform, will be backfilled with DOWN availabilities.

Returns:

true if the agent is a suspect agent and has been backfilled

Parameters:

agentId - the id of the agent

Returns:

true if the agent was successfully pinged.

handlePingRequest

PingRequest handlePingRequest(PingRequest request)

Process a ping request from an agent, performing any requested actions and returning any requested data.
