akkeeper-app not in maven repository

[MGabr]

Hi,

thanks a lot for this nice library. I'm trying to use the latest version of the Deploy API but it seems that the required module akkeeper-app is not published on maven while the other modules akkeeper-api, akkeeper-common etc are. Is there some reason behind that or am I missing something?

Hi @MGabr . Thanks for reporting this issue! You're absolutely right, since version 0.4.* it's no longer possible to use ContainerService.createRemote/DeployService.createRemote/etc. APIs. This should definitely be fixed.

Meanwhile I suggest the following workarounds:

1. Use REST API instead.
2. Manually compose a path to the Master Service actor like this:

val masterServicePath = RootActorPath(<master_address>) / "user" / "akkeeperMaster"
val masterService = actorSystem.actorSelection(monitoringServicePath)
masterService ? <any API message>

API messages are available through the akkeeper-api module.
The <master_address> can be found using the list of available cluster members. The Akkeeper Master member has the akkeeperMaster role. Here is an example:

val cluster = Cluster(actorSystem)
val akkeeperMasterAddress = cluster.state.members.find(m => m.hasRole("akkeeperMaster"))
  .map(_.address)
  .getOrElse(throw new RuntimeException("Failed to find a running Akkeeper Master instance"))
