I was able to install and run the sensor. There are two significant problems with it at
the moment:
(a) It generates only Activity data. This is bad since we don't do analyses on Activity
data any more. We need it to send DevEvent data instead. This shouldn't be too hard to
fix; probably even I can do it.
(b) It does not generate a "send()" command to the sensorshell upon exit. That means
that a significant amount of data can be lost (i.e. up to 10 minutes of activity) for
each IDE session. Fixing this requires figuring out the plugin support for callbacks
when exiting the IDE. Anyone know anything about this?
It does, however, send data successfully after each autosend interval (i.e. 10
minutes).
Despite these problems I have gone ahead and added it to the hackystat-ALL and
hackystat-UH configurations and daily build. Hopefully we can iron this out in the next
week and get it into the 7.6 stable release.
Cheers,
Philip
p.s. Yet another late Friday afternoon perturbation to the daily build. Anyone want to
bet against the daily build failing tomorrow? :-)
