Package org.eso.ias.converter

Class Converter

java.lang.Object

org.eso.ias.converter.Converter

All Implemented Interfaces:

AutoCloseable

public class Converter
extends Object
implements AutoCloseable

The tool to convert raw monitor point values and alarms coming from plugins into IAS data type to be processed by the core.

The converter runs a never-ending loop that consists of:

• get one value produced by the remote system
• convert the value in the corresponding IAS data type
• send the value to the core for processing

The conversion needs to access the configuration database.

Spring constructor-dependency injection is used mainly for testing purposes.
