Interface AApplicationInfoProvider

All Known Implementing Classes:

ADefaultApplicationInfoProvider

public interface AApplicationInfoProvider

This interface makes details about the measured application available to N-SysMon. That is particularly relevant when several servers offload their data to a central server.

Configuration specifies an implementation of this interface rather than the values themselves to allow an application to retrieve some or all of the values at runtime, e.g. from a database.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
String	getApplicationName() This is a high-level name of the application per se, regardless of version or deployment.
String	getDeployment() This string identifies one 'instance' of a system.
String	getHtmlColorCode() This color code is used in presentation to allows users to distinguish between different deployments at a glance, e.g.
String	getNodeId() This string is relevant only in a clustered deployment, where it distinguishes between different nodes of a cluster.
String	getVersion() This is the logical name of the software version.

Method Detail

getApplicationName

String getApplicationName()

This is a high-level name of the application per se, regardless of version or deployment. This could be something like 'product server' or 'customer portal'.

getVersion

String getVersion()

This is the logical name of the software version.

getDeployment

String getDeployment()

This string identifies one 'instance' of a system. This should be a unique identifier for every JVM across the network (except for cluster nodes, which should share the same value). Values should stay the same across reboots, restarts and re-deployments.

This value is intended to allow aggregation (or comparison) of values from several JVMs in a central database.

This could be the name of a stage, e.g. 'prod' or 'qa-1', or for local developer deployments something like 'local-arno'.

getNodeId

String getNodeId()

This string is relevant only in a clustered deployment, where it distinguishes between different nodes of a cluster.

getHtmlColorCode

String getHtmlColorCode()

This color code is used in presentation to allows users to distinguish between different deployments at a glance, e.g. using 'red' for production environments.

There is a generic implementation that calculates the HTML color code from the other values.
