Outrigger is not SNMP/RMON savvy
--------------------------------

                 Key: RIVER-51
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RIVER-51
             Project: River
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: com_sun_jini_outrigger
    Affects Versions: jtsk_2.1
            Reporter: Jim Waldo
            Priority: Minor


Outrigger should be enhanced to provide a means of controlling and/or monitoring the running application with SNMP/RMON infrastructure.  This should include (but not be limited to) the following functionality:

* Notification when memory in the JavaSpace falls below a certain threshold

* Notification when the running Outrigger contains more than (some threshold) number of a given type of Entry

* Propagation of Outrigger exceptions into some form usable by SNMP trap managemnt that could be monitored and acted upon by standard network management infrastructure techniques.

The general notion for this enhancement is this: Outrigger runs within a managed network environment and should be monitored and controlled to some degree with the standard network tools and techniques developed for such applications. This might include the assignment of Object Identifiers (OIDs) and MIBs for the various sensing points  and management points within Outrigger.

It might be sufficient to instrument outrigger with the proper hooks so that a plug-in "Strategy pattern" could be used to actually accomplish the SNMP/RMON integration. This would leave the Outrigger implementation free from SNMP code while providing the capability of making Outrigger fully network managable.

More a product feature, but important to some. If we do this should take the approach outlined in the last paragraph of the description, that is don't put SNMP code in outrigger but provide hooks for people to add there own management code.
