Dear all,
following the extremely fruitful meeting in Zurich, here is the revision of the proposed document. A few anticipations about the content:
- the concepts are always the same: abstraction from short-lived details using mixins, extract/aggregate/publish pipe for the measurements
- the syntax is different: I tried to make it simpler and more powerful: only 2 kinds in the model (one resource and one link), but the monitoring infrastructure may be hierarchical from 0 to n levels
- a section about conformance levels has been added: the monitoring API is optional, so we need to define a level 0 to avoid confusion. The other two levels corresponds to the capability of creating user mixins (level 2) or not (level 1)
- there is a detailed example of a simple case using an HTTP rendering
