A component type is a blueprint for a component that describes the type of entity the component refers to. In Akamas, a component needs to be associated with a component type, from which the component inherits its metrics and parameters.
Component types are platform entities (i.e.: shared among all the users) usually provided off the shelf and shipped within the . Typically, different component types within the same optimization pack are used to model different versions/releases of the same technology.
Akamas users with appropriate privileges can create custom component types and optimization packs, as described on the page.
A component type is described by the following mandatory properties (other properties can be defined but are not mandatory):
a name that uniquely identifies the component type within the system
a description that clarifies what the component type refers to
a parameter definitions array (more on Parameters later)
a metrics array (more on Metrics later)
The construct to be used to define a component type is described on the page.
A component type is an that can be managed via CLI using the
When visualizing system components the component type is displayed.
The following figure shows the out-of-the-box JVM component types related to the JVM optimization pack.
