COSMOS 1.0M2 is NOW available
At a Glance
COSMOS 1.0M2 provides a number of new features that provide support for the emerging Configuration Management Database federation (CMDBf) standard, based on the CMDBf 1.0 specification (http://www.cmdbf.org):
- Framework for implementing CMDBf query and registration services
- Eclipse-integrated toolkit for creating data managers and management data repositories (MDRs)
- Ability to register an MDR with the COSMOS framework
- Ability to register and deregister an MDR with a federating CMDB, using the COSMOS UI
- Ability to query an MDR from the COSMOS UI, using query builder driven by CMDBf metadata
- Example MDRs, including a simplistic one and one based on the example data center
- Ability to visualize a CMDBf query response
- Support for deploying to J2EE environments (e.g. Tomcat)
- Full test suite showing implementation examples
These new features are in addition to the features that were provided in COSMOS 1.0M1:
- Tools that support systems management data conforming to the Service Modeling Language (SML) and SML-Interchange Format (SML-IF) standards (http://www.w3.org/Submission/2007/01/), including SML and SML-IF document validation, SML-IF editing, import of SML-IF documents and export to SML-IF documents
- Example data center described in SML format
- Standard APIs for accessing COSMOS data from heterogeneous clients
- Data collectors that gather data from Common Base Event (CBE) logs, JMX, and WSDM Event Format (WEF) sources
- Preset reports to visualize event and statistical data
- Data store to persist statistical information based on the standard SDMX specification (http://www.sdmx.org/)
- Relational data store for the persistence of event information and statistical information
- Web-based viewer composed of Web 2.0 gadgets to thoroughly examine data from SML-IF documents
- Extension points to create complementary visualizations in the form of Web 2.0 gadgets and BIRT reports
COSMOS 1.0 is currently targeted for a June 2008 release, in conjunction with the Eclipse Equinox release. Future work that is expected be included in the 1.0 release includes:
- SDD (Solution Deployment Descriptor) tooling
- SML 1.1 support
- Additional CMDBf support
