Tracing Measurement Flow
We use the voltage meter analogy, testing for voltage along a circuit, to similiarly trace the flow of a measurement from the meter plugin to the TrueSight Pulse cloud.
NOTE: Measurement flow tracing techniques described here are currently only applicable to UNIX/Linux environments where system tools exist that provide the ability to trace the measurement flow.
Measurement Pathway
The pathway for measurements sent to TrueSight Pulse are:

-
Meter Plugin Sends A Measurement - Meter plugin sends measurements to standard output via protocol. Runtime observation of the meter plugin sending measurements is described in .
-
Plugin Manager Receives A Measurement - Plugin Manager (pluginmgr) reads the standard out from the meter plugin. Receipt of the measurement from a meter plugin is describe in
-
Plugin Manager Sends Measurement - Plugin Manager writes the measurement to the meter via the Meter(boundary-meter) JSON RPC channel
-
Meter Receives A Measurement - Meter receives an JSON RPC call sent by the Plugin Manager.
-
Meter Sends A Measurement - Meter sends the measurement to TrueSight Pulse via an HTTPS Rest call.
