#4128 [HHQ-3991] The hq-agent requires restart to auto-discover ne

[Hyperic Team]

http://jira.hyperic.com/browse/HHQ-3991
The hq-agent requires restart to auto-discover new resources for plugin applications. Anytime an application is being monitored via a plugin, newly created resources are not auto-discovered; it requires the hq-agent being restarted for HQ to see the new resources.

This applies to but not limited to the following resources:


 - WebApps and Applications with WebLogic (WLS)


 - TableSpaces and User Instances with Oracle DB


 - Databases with SQL Server

Expected Result:


Newly added resources should be auto-discovered without having to start the hq-agent.

Actual Result:


Newly created resources are not auto-discovered.

Steps to reproduce:


1. On Application (i.e. WebLogic, Oracle, SQL Server, etc.), install hq-agent


2. Ensure hq-agent is running and Application is auto-discovered by HQ


3. Log into the HQ Server Dashboard


4. Browse and select the Application platform


5. Select the Application Server from under the Deployed Servers Health section


6. Select the Auto-Group for the given Application from under Services


7. Note any existing resources that are listed


8. Go to Application and create a new resource


9. Wait 30 minutes to one hour for auto-discovery


10. Log back into the HQ Server Dashboard


11. Browse and select the Application platform


13. Select the Application Server from under the Deployed Servers Health section


14. Select the Auto-Group for the Application from under Services


15. Note the newly created resource is NOT listed

Work around:


Restarting the hq-agent discovers the newly add resource.

Additional Notes:


1. Running 'New Auto-Discovery' on the platform does not discover the newly created resources


2. Restarting the hq-agent discovers new resources


3. Running command line discover shows the newly created resources
