Product Plugin

Available in HQ Open Source unless marked by * for HQ Enterprise only

The ProductPlugin is the deployment entry point on both the Server and Agent. It defines the resource types and plugin implementations for measurement, control, and autoinventory. Most ProductPlugin implementations are done using the Plugin XML Descriptor. However, in order to dynamically generate the classpath, plugins can override ProductPlugin. For example, the JBoss plugin uses SIGAR to find the installpath of a JBoss server running on the machine, which it uses to set the classpath.
