FireScope adds SDK for business service system

TAGS: Application development

FireScope has added a software development kit for building custom interfaces to its FireScope business service management appliance.

The company's software and appliance offer a real-time view of the health and security of IT operations, FireScope said. With the FireScope Business Services Management Software Developer Kit, developers can integrate customer IT software into the FireScope interface or blend data from security or business applications into FireScope to provide unique views of IT operations.

A reseller, for example, could link to assets being tracked, said Ryan Counts, FireScope marketing director. The SDK is for select partners and clients.

"The SDK itself exposes the data that we're collecting and our own custom interface elements like AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript) charts and graphs," Counts said.

Developers can write portlets in a choice of languages, including Java, PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor) or Ruby. Development environments can be used such as Eclipse or IntelliJ Idea. The SDK is based on Java Specification Request 168, which provides a portlet programming model.

More information about the SDK can be found here.
