Hello Everybody,

I am happy to announce release 0.2.5 of RHQ Metrics project.

Here is an overview of the features added in this release:

• UI Console
  • Added grouping to console for organizing sets of metric charts saved to browser storage
  • Added default group so users returning to the console page later see the same metric charts as last time
  • Drag and drop ordering of selected charts (order is saved withing a group)
  • Standalone Charts tags (can be used on wiki pages etc)
  • Refactored charts to own bower package and git repo
    • rhq-project/rhqm-charts · GitHub
  • Build moved to a maven based plugin to use a fixed version for nodejs and npm regarless of environment
• Cassandra

• New schema which includes initial support for:
  • multi-tenancy
  • tags
  • availability metrics in additiona to numeric metrics
  • meta data
• Configurable Cassandra connection settings (port, nodes) via system properties
