Hi Folks,
I'm new to the list and I'm coming to grips with QMF at the moment and
have a thought that may be of interest. I was talking with some folks
last week about managing large numbers of nodes; cloud/grid where there
are typically thousands of managed elements.
In some cases, e.g. purging a queue, there may be application level
logic as to which queues need to be purged and when. using the existing
QMF tooling this would be fairly time consuming from a sysadmin
perspective.
Don't get me wrong, I like the current interface and its in keeping with
the tooling for most other message based admin systems that I've used.
So, an idea for discussion: what if managed elements could "subscribe"
for certain management events. In a large scale deployment, the sysadmin
wouldn't need to know which nodes to manage explicitly and would instead
"publish" a management event, like "purge backout queues for app X"
I know my use of "publish" and "subscribe" isn't quite correct in qpid
terms, but I hope you get the idea.
thoughts?
regards,
Sam.
