Hi Graham,
May I ask how you intend to use the values in your template?
If it would be sufficient to combine them into a single string you
should use a `Joiner` enricher whose minimum size is the initial size of
the cluster:
brooklyn.config:
cluster.initial.size: 4
brooklyn.enrichers:
- type: org.apache.brooklyn.enricher.stock.Aggregator
brooklyn.config:
enricher.sourceSensor: mySensor
enricher.targetSensor: aggregated
enricher.aggregating.fromMembers: true
- type: org.apache.brooklyn.enricher.stock.Joiner
brooklyn.config:
enricher.sourceSensor: aggregated
enricher.targetSensor: joinedUp
enricher.joiner.quote: false
enricher.joiner.minimum: $brooklyn:config("cluster.initial.size")
In this example the value for `joinedUp` won't be published until the
`aggregated` sensor contains four non-null values.
With this approach you wouldn't need to use a latch; in your other
entity you'd assign the joiner's value to a config key:
brooklyn.config:
valueForTemplate:
$brooklyn:entity("cluster").attributeWhenReady("joinedUp")
And in your template write:
${config['valueForTemplate']
There is no equivalent of `enricher.joiner.minimum` for Aggregators so
if this approach is unsuitable - perhaps you want to iterate over the
values in your template - then it seems to be considerably more complex
to achieve what you want. I've got a few ideas but will wait to hear
whether the above is of any help before digging into them.

OK, I've got this problem:
I have a list of hosts_ports that I've created in a cluster using an
Aggregator. So far so good.. .By using attributeWhenReady, it fills in
when all the values are ready.
Now in another part of my application, I want to use this in a template.
The thing is, I want to wait until all the elements in the list are not
null before I do the template.install.
I've got a resources.install.latch, which seems to be the right latch to
use. However, it needs a boolean
So my question is: How can I write an Aggregator in yaml that will only
be true if all the elements of the list are not null?
I'm sure it's possible, and I could do it if I was writing Java. But
there isn't a lot of documentation on how to do this.
Thanks
