Summary

The project focuses on implementing an RHQ agent written in Python programming language (PyAgent). The agent will gather metrics provided by Matahari running on a Fedora/RHEL system and pass the data to an RHQ server via a REST api.

The RHQ project is a management suite providing means for remote administration of systems and their resources. The data governed by RHQ are passed to it by agents.

Matahari is a management and monitoring system present on Fedora/RHEL which task is to gather selected metrics for system's characterictics.

Qpid is a cross-platform enterprise messaging system.

The aim of this project is, then, to provide means for communication between Matahari gathering data locally and a remote RHQ server. For that an RHQ agent written in Python programming language will be implemented.
