It takes advantage of the scalability, security, and rich capabilities of Qpid to provide flexible and easy-to-use manageability to a large set of applications. Getting Started with QMF QMF is used through two primary APIs. The console API is used for console applications that wish to access and manipulate manageable components through QMF. The agent API is used for application that wish to be managed through QMF. The fastest way to get started with QMF is to work through the "How To" tutorials for consoles and agents. For a deeper understanding of what is happening in the tutorials, it is recommended that you look at the Qmf Concepts section. QMF Concepts This section introduces important concepts underlying QMF. Console, Agent, and Broker The major architectural components of QMF are the Console, the Agent, and the Broker. Console components are the "managing" components of QMF and agent components are the "managed" parts. The broker is a central (possibly distributed, clustered and fault-tolerant) component that manages name spaces and caches schema information. A console application may be a command-line utility, a three-tiered web-based GUI, a collection and storage device, a specialized application that monitors and reacts to events and conditions, or anything else somebody wishes to develop that uses QMF management data. An agent application is any application that has been enhanced to allow itself to be managed via QMF. +-------------+ +---------+ +---------------+ +-------------------+ | CLI utility | | Web app | | Audit storage | | Event correlation | +-------------+ +---------+ +---------------+ +-------------------+ ^ ^ ^ ^ | | | | | | v v v v v +---------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Qpid Messaging Bus (with QMF Broker capability) | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ ^ ^ ^ | | | v v v +----------------+ +----------------+ +----------------+ | Manageable app | | Manageable app | | Manageable app | +----------------+ +----------------+ +----------------+ In the above diagram, the Manageable apps are agents, the CLI utility, Web app, and Audit storage are consoles, and Event correlation is both a console and an agent because it can create events based on the aggregation of what it sees.
