Next: Typical Scenario Up: Cluster API's Previous: Resource Discovery API Contents
The API allows for system derived status information about netlets to be retrieved, in much the same way that traditional operating systems allow various aspects of a process to be inspected. Such information includes resource usage counters. Status information is provided as an SNMP-like MIB, allowing complete extensibility. Running netlets may export arbitrary typed status information which is made available to the application controllers as part of the MIB.
