<doc xml:lang="en" title="Chukwa Agent REST API">
<p>
Chukwa Agent provides REST interfaces that allow management of
data stream movement. The primary resources are:
<ul>
<li>Adaptor resource - the registration, querying, and deletion of
Chukwa Adaptors.</li>
<li>Pipeline resource - the configuration of data destination. (TBD)</li>
</ul>
</p><br/>
<p>
The resources and the entities that are passed to them are defined
using JAXB and are represented in either XML or JSON formats
depending on the ContentType and Accept HTTP headers. The definition
of the types is given in the
<a href="org/apache/hadoop/chukwa/datacollection/agent/rest/package-summary.html">JavaDoc</a>.
</p><br/>
<p>
Typical usage would be to create a new adaptor from a pre-defined
one and change the necessary configuration parameters. Then configure
parser to process the data stream.
