Hi,
I'm reviewing the Appserver vendor landscape (again) with interest in what
progress there's been at supporting a public API to access Control,
Management,
Eventing and Status info? At some point CMI/CMA ??? was offered as an
API name.
What vendors have a CMI?
The reason that I'm interested in a CMI is that I've been very disappointed
in
the consoles of the major container vendors. My view and needed Use Cases
are those that the Operations Center folks will need to run a 24x7 mission
critical
set of services, deployed across 50's of boxes, 100's of objects. I'm
willing to
write my own code to support the Operation's Center's use cases or more
accurately
I'm forced to write my own code since the current batch of consoles aren't
even close.
I'm currently suffering with an environment that does not have SNMP traps on
object
failures, methods that take too long (exceeding SLA limits) etc etc. So I
know
first hand what it's like to try to keep a large deployment up and try to
learn what
has just gone down.
For me, and my mission critical application (run a phone company on all java
back end)
The 'E' part of EJB container vendor is still missing. :)))) I.E. it's
not Entrerprise ready
if a 24x7 mission critical app can't be 100% reliably run by telephone
operations
center staff by using the vendor's console. OBTW without me getting called
at
3 AM to figure out which object just failed and how to restart it.
It seems that there's a market for commercial management, control and status
consoles and take that job from the container vendors who at present aren't
doing
that good of a job.
Or how about a container vendor who has great SNMP support plus RMON support
to allow remote control and configuration from available good SNMP
management
consoles??
Any helps or feed back?
Thanks,
curt
