For Software as a Service Environments having the ability to have Hyperic migrate or move services and or servers from one Platform to another is important. Losing the history of performance data being gathered for a Service, like a custom JMX plugin is a real pain every time the service is moved from one server to another. We are always balancing the load on our platforms by balancing larger or more heavily used services and or servers across platforms. Also, when we do move a service or a server then the old service or server sticks around and causes issues with with the HQ agent reporting the failure and or showing up as being down due to the large amount of failures in collecting metrics.
So, my request is for Hyperic to add support for not only re-naming resources but also allow servers/services to be moved from one platform to another platform without losing history. And to allow for services to be moved from one server to another server. Webservice or Groovy API support would be great as well, so that hyperic could integrate with automatic provisioning systems better.
