Method Detail

initialize

public void initialize(Map<String,Object> parameters)

This method is called after the framework creates an instance of the plug-in. The framework passes the object a proxy object that can be used to retrieve configuration information specific to the plug-in. Additionally, any parameters for the plug-in from the package definition are passed using the parameters element.

If there is a critical error, like missing service libraries, the the Monitor may throw a ServiceMonitorException. If the plug-in throws an exception then the plug-in will be disabled in the framework.

Specified by:

initialize in interface ServiceMonitor

Parameters:

parameters - Not currently used

release

public void release()

release

Specified by:

release in interface ServiceMonitor

initialize

public void initialize(MonitoredService svc)

initialize

Specified by:

initialize in interface ServiceMonitor

Parameters:

svc - a MonitoredService object.

release

public void release(MonitoredService svc)

This method is the called whenever an interface is being removed from the scheduler. For example, if a service is determined as being no longer supported then this method will be invoked to cleanup any information associated with this device. This gives the implementor of the interface the ability to serialize any data prior to the interface being discarded.

If an exception is thrown during the release the exception will be logged, but the interface will still be discarded for garbage collection.

Specified by:

release in interface ServiceMonitor

Parameters:

svc - TODO

poll

public PollStatus poll(MonitoredService svc,
                       Map<String,Object> parameters)

This method is the heart of the plug-in monitor. Each time an interface requires a check to be performed as defined by the scheduler the poll method is invoked. The poll is passed the interface to check

By default when the status transition from up to down or vice versa the framework will generate an event. Additionally, if the polling interval changes due to an extended unavailability, the framework will generate an additional down event. The plug-in can suppress the generation of the default events by setting the suppress event bit in the returned integer.

Specified by:

poll in interface ServiceMonitor

Parameters:

svc - TODO

parameters - The package parameters (timeout, retry, etc...) to be used for this poll.

Returns:

The availability of the interface and if a transition event should be suppressed.
