System Management (SM) Agent

Functions and eventual public API Offered by the SM Agent

• Stop all EdgeX microservices
• Start all EdgeX microservices
• Restart all EdgeX microservices
• Stop an EdgeX microservice by name
• Start an EdgeX microservice by name
• Restart an EdgeX microservice by name
• Ping an EdgeX microservice (check that the service is still up)
• Get the configuration settings (aka properties) for an EdgeX microservice by name
• Get the configuration setting (aka property) for an EdgeX microservice (by name) by configuration setting name (aka key)
• Set the configuration setting (aka property) for a writable (versus read only) property for an EdgeX microservice (by name).  Example:  the port of a service is read only where as the log level maybe updated (writable).
  • Removed from scope due to shortened release time line and complexities of persisting info in Consul or file system.
• Get the current Admin status (locked or unlocked) of an EdgeX microservice (only valid for Device Services?)
  • Removed from scope due to shortened release time
• Register a client for change to a configuration setting to a named EdgeX microservice
• Register a client for change of the operating state between enabled and disabled states to a named EdgeX microservice
• Register a client for change of the admin state between locked and unlocked state to a named EdgeX microservice
  • Removed from scope due to shortened release time
• Register a client for (significant) change in memory usage to a named EdgeX microservice
• Deregister a client from any existing registration

Stretch goal:  to facilitate native system processes call of above (like systemd) per Delhi Release#SystemManagementTasksandNotes

Microservice level support for SM

• Get the current Admin status (locked or unlocked) (not sure if this should only be valid for Device Services)
• Get the configuration settings (aka properties) for this microservice
• Get the configuration setting (aka property) for this microservice by configuration setting name (aka key)

Microservice SM Callbacks

(each microservice will send out a notification on these events)

• Notify registered clients on change to a configuration setting
• Notify registered clients on change of the operating state between enabled and disabled states.  (not sure if this should only be valid for Device Services)
• Notify registered clients on change of the admin state between locked and unlocked states.  (not sure if this should only be valid for Device Services)
