Description Thomas Segismont 2013-09-05 13:23:15 UTC

Availability report information is currently limited to:
* resource id
* availability type
* start time

There is no way for the plugin container to send a report with error messages, which would come from the plugin container itself, or from plugin code.

Example of plugin error:
* "Apache availability is DOWN because HTTP connection timed out"
* "Postgres availability is DOWN because the JDBC connection could not be established but the process is available"

Example of plugin container:
* CPU availability is DOWN because the availability scan time out on this resource

Impacts:
* Plugin API
* Plugin Container
* Server Services
* Data Model
* GUI
