Description of problem: Configuration definition for FailureDetector resource type (in cassandra-plugin) says: <c:simple-property name="AllEndpointStates" type="integer" required="false" readOnly="true" description="States of all the end-points."/> but .. there is a String value stored inside ... for example this: /10.16.23.85 SCHEMA:cf26f7df-6b2a-3f00-9c83-40592b80d8c6 DC:datacenter1 RACK:rack1 LOAD:451288.0 RPC_ADDRESS:10.16.23.85 STATUS:NORMAL,-1000919522025838287 NET_VERSION:6 SEVERITY:0.0 HOST_ID:079b4052-a095-421c-960a-9b6015f98280 RELEASE_VERSION:1.2.9 auto-rhq.bc.jonqe.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com/10.16.23.111 SCHEMA:cf26f7df-6b2a-3f00-9c83-40592b80d8c6 DC:datacenter1 RACK:rack1 LOAD:522371.0 RPC_ADDRESS:10.16.23.111 STATUS:NORMAL,-1010181852612907910 NET_VERSION:6 SEVERITY:-5.551115123125783E-17 HOST_ID:5b92c7ec-2a6b-490c-898e-1f1fccf2b306 RELEASE_VERSION:1.2.9 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHQ 4.10-snapshot How reproducible: always Actual results: in rhqapi.js we're translating native java configurations and simple properties (while checking configuration definition) to javascript objects - translating types. This fails for FailureDetector resource type on NumberFormatException Expected results: plugin descriptor should be fixed to match. More over .. RHQ Server should verify configurations are matching their definitions. Additional info:
