* How do I use this? *
|
|
|
14 |
Take a look at the examples to see how your backend project can
|
|
|
15 |
and should inherit from this service.
|
|
|
16 |
|
|
|
17 |
* What does it provide? *
|
|
|
18 |
A standard interface to monitoring, dynamic options and configuration,
|
|
|
19 |
uptime reports, activity, etc.

Think carefully first about whether the functionality you are going to add
|
|
|
23 |
belongs here or in your application. If it can be abstracted and is generally
|
|
|
24 |
useful, then it probably belongs somewhere in the fb303 tree. Keep in mind,
|
|
|
25 |
not every product has to use ALL the functionality of fb303, but every product
|
|
|
26 |
CANNOT use functionality that is NOT in fb303.
