Method Detail

getServerResources

List getServerResources(org.hyperic.util.config.ConfigResponse platformConfig,

                        throws PluginException

This interface is used by the Auto-Discovery file system scan. Plugins specify file patterns to match in etc/hq-server-sigs.properties When a file or directory matches one of these patterns, this method will be invoked. It is up to the plugin to use the matched file or directory as a hint to find server installations.

Parameters:

platformConfig - Platform config properties.

path - The absolute path to the matched file or directory.

Returns:

A List of ServerResource objects representing the servers that were discovered. It is possible for multiple servers to be in a single directory. For example, the Covalent ERS has one directory with Apache server binaries and one or more directories of configuration for each server instance. This method should return null if no servers were found.

Throws:

PluginException - If an error occured during server detection.
