Description John Mazzitelli 2009-01-16 17:10:00 UTC

The agents used to get their schedules updated during plugin deployment at server-start up time. We took that out (see associated JIRAs).  We need to provide a better way to update the schedules on the agents.

Comment 1 John Mazzitelli 2009-01-16 22:33:22 UTC

discussions with ian, greg, jay resulted in the following:

we will modify the MTime of all resources that got new schedules added or got old scheduled removed due to new plugins getting deployed that added/removed metric definitions.

This change in mtime tells the agent that the resource needs to be synced. The agent code will remain the same - it will perform the sync code at the appropriate times.

Comment 2 Jeff Weiss 2009-02-04 19:00:01 UTC

<mazz> jweiss: well, that was more internals, but, if you change a collection interval while an agent is down and restart the agent, make sure the new agent gets the new schedule properly

Tested as specified above.  rev2898
