The Archivist consumes lifecycle events to ingest diagnostics data. This document explains what these events are.
Archivist consumption of lifecycle events
The archivist ingests events from the component framework. The following diagram shows a very high level overview of the three lifecycle events (started, directory_ready and stopped) the archivist is interested in.
The archivist consumes the following lifecycle events under component manager through
fuchsia.sys2.EventSource:
- Started: Sent by component manager when a component starts, the runner might still need to launch the component, but the component has started from the framework perspective.
- Stopped: Sent by component manager when a component stops, the runner might still need to to tear down the component, but the component is gone from the framework perspective.
- Running: Sent by component manager for all components that are running at the moment the archivist starts listening for events. In other words, a synthesized started event. This event is provided to the reader as Started, but consumed from the framework as “Running”.
- Directory ready: The archivist listens for directory ready of the
out/diagnosticsdirectory. When the component starts serving this directory, the component manager sends this event to the Archivist.
