Unidirectional communication

[pbruna]

Hi,
Is there anyway to configure a stateless agent that query spthe server from time to time?
I have a couple,of external agents that I can't reach because of the firewall.

Hi pbruna,
What do you mean by stateless here?
Hyperic agents can be configured to use unidirectional communication. See documentation:
http://pubs.vmware.com/hyperic-58/topic/com.vmware.hyperic.install.config.doc/GUID-4000BEE8-B801-4BCF-B6CB-EBE983A2390F.html

Hi Andersonm,

Does opensource version of hyperic support uni directional communication ? . As far as am aware it was not supported for 4.6 version of Open source hyperic . Am not sure about 5.8 ? . Do you have any info on this?

Thanks In Advance

hi @vmw-andersonm
I meant what @manoharendla was saying, uni directional communication. From the docs on VMware it says that only vFabric can do do this, which is the payed version AFAIK.

So my question is if in the new versions is available in the OSS version, if not, do you think I can make it work using some kind of TCP queueue like 0mq?

Unidirectional communication is not available in OSS version.
I'm not sure it can be done by TCP queueue
