Package org.opennms.netmgt.collection.api

Class AbstractServiceCollector

java.lang.Object

org.opennms.netmgt.collection.api.AbstractServiceCollector

All Implemented Interfaces:

ServiceCollector

Direct Known Subclasses:

AbstractRemoteServiceCollector, AbstractSnmpCollector, TcaCollector, XmpCollector

public abstract class AbstractServiceCollector
extends Object
implements ServiceCollector

Boilerplate code for basic ServiceCollector implementations. If the ServiceCollector is expected to run on both OpenNMS and Minion, consider extending AbstractRemoteServiceCollector instead.

public AbstractServiceCollector()

Method Detail

initialize

public void initialize()
                throws CollectionInitializationException

Description copied from interface: ServiceCollector

Initialize the collector. This call will be invoked in OpenNMS before any other calls to the collector are made. This function may be invoked several times during the lifetime or the collector.

Specified by:

initialize in interface ServiceCollector

Throws:

CollectionInitializationException

validateAgent

public void validateAgent(CollectionAgent agent,
                          Map<String,Object> parameters)
                   throws CollectionInitializationException

Description copied from interface: ServiceCollector

Validate whether or not this collector should be scheduled to run against the given agent. If the collector cannot, or should not be a run against a given agent, a CollectionInitializationException must be thrown. In the case of the SNMP collector, this is used to prevent collect from scheduling interfaces other than the those marked as primary on a given node.

Specified by:

validateAgent in interface ServiceCollector

Throws:

CollectionInitializationException

getRuntimeAttributes

public Map<String,Object> getRuntimeAttributes(CollectionAgent agent,
                                                     Map<String,Object> parameters)

Description copied from interface: ServiceCollector

Invoked before every call to #collect(CollectionAgent, EventProxy, Map) in order to retrieve state/runtime information required for perform the collection. This call will always be performed in OpenNMS.

Specified by:

getRuntimeAttributes in interface ServiceCollector

Parameters:

agent - Includes details about to the agent from which we wish to collect.

parameters - Includes the service parameters defined in collectd-configuration.xml.

Returns:

Additional attributes, which should be added to the parameter map before calling #collect(CollectionAgent, EventProxy, Map).

getEffectiveLocation

public String getEffectiveLocation(String location)

Description copied from interface: ServiceCollector

Allows the collector to override the location at which it should be run. This call will always be performed in OpenNMS.

Specified by:

getEffectiveLocation in interface ServiceCollector

Parameters:

location - location associated with the service to be monitored

Returns:

a possibly updated location

marshalParameters

public Map<String,String> marshalParameters(Map<String,Object> parameters)

Description copied from interface: ServiceCollector

Marshal the parameter values to strings, which is necessary for passing the parameters over the wire for the RPC call. We delegate this task to the ServiceCollector instead of handling it elsewhere since the API, and RPC module do not have access to the model objects used by the collector. This will only be called in OpenNMS when the collector is to be executed remotely.

Specified by:

marshalParameters in interface ServiceCollector

Returns:

unmarshalParameters

public Map<String,Object> unmarshalParameters(Map<String,String> parameters)

Description copied from interface: ServiceCollector

Unmarshal the parameter values from strings. This call will always be performed in Minion.

Specified by:

unmarshalParameters in interface ServiceCollector

Returns:
