Client v1 (i.e. the first version) defines an API that allows to manage configuration of default plugins and the Linux plugin. How the configuration is transported between APIs and the plugins is fully abstracted from the user.
The API calls can be split into two groups:
- resync applies a given (full) configuration. An existing configuration, if present, is replaced. The name is an abbreviation of resynchronization. It is used initially and after any system event that may leave the configuration out-of-sync while the set of outdated configuration options is impossible to determine locally (e.g. temporarily lost connection to data store).
- data change allows to deliver incremental changes of a configuration.
There are two implementations:
- local client runs inside the same process as the agent and delivers configuration through go channels directly to the plugins.
- remote client stores the configuration using the given
keyval.broker.
