Geneva Planning for System Management

Potential tasks

• Set read-only configuration data (and then optionally restart)

• Start/stop/restart of services inclusive of SMA (has asynch dependency)

• Support async calls to SMA (everything today is blocking)

  • Use of callbacks or pub/sub to support

• Support set config of file-based config (non-Consul)?

• Role based security on SMA APIs (security dependency)

• CLI additions

  • work with security services (API gateway) in place

  • point to alternative database

Beyond Geneva potential tasks

• Transform and export for SMA data (appl services for sys mgmt info)

• Store system metrics locally (for store and forward)

• Actuation based on metrics change (rules engine for control plane data)

• Alerts/notifications on metrics change or service status (ex: service down, metric above threshold, etc.)

• Use of QoS and/or blockchain to prioritize resource usage by certain services (which might be detected by System Management metric collection)

Architectural discussions

• Future / direction of OH

• Future of CLI

  • Part of regular EdgeX

  • Support users as well as developers
