gary-hessler 34d82d455e Renaming agent packages to reflect monasca
Renamed monagent package to monasca_agent and monsetup package to monasca_setup.
Also, renamed the monstatsd agent package to statsd to more closely match the internal
collector and forwarder packages.

monasca-setup

This script will detect running services and configure monasca-agent to watch them as well as starting the agent and configuring it to start up on boot.

Future Considerations

  • A good system for specifying active style checks for configuration would be great. Active style checks are those which run locally but are checking a remote box.
  • The ability to dynamically add detection plugins could be quite valuable. Also it could aid in the active check config.
    • With the ability to dynamically add I should also include the ability to dynamically remove.
  • A config file with metadata to assist in automatic configuration could be quite valuable, for example user/pass for logging into mysql.
  • The current system does not work well in the case of clusters, for example the kafka plugin will end up collecting the same data on each node of a cluster.
