Eclipse RCP APM Client

Apply when your observability UX demands thousands of points per second, native OS widgets, and direct binary streams — where a browser SaaS dashboard would fall over or feel laggy.

Pattern

  1. Eclipse RCP shell — product definition + feature + plugin structure. Use Tycho for reproducible builds.
  2. Direct TCP — client opens long-lived TCP to the collector, speaks the binary wire protocol. No servlet, no JSON.
  3. Local cache — maintain in-memory rolling window (5min / 1h / 24h) so the UI doesn't re-query the server on every scroll/zoom.
  4. ZEST / GEF — for waterfall trace and topology graphs. SWT charts for XLog scatter.
  5. Perspective per role — DBA, dev, ops each get a preset perspective (preconfigured views).

Trade-offs

  • Desktop install friction (Windows / macOS / Linux build per release).
  • Hard to onboard new users; browser-first dashboards (Grafana, scouter-paper) are easier.
  • But: real-time drill-down performance is genuinely better, and works offline/air-gapped.
