RHQ 4.9 or later - Using JMX application mbeans in JBoss plugin

dreschler Dec 6, 2013 11:57 AM

Hi,

in another discussion (see here), it was stated: "RHQ does not have a JConsole-type JMX mbean browser."

Is this still true for RHQ 4.9? What do you recommend to make the usage of JMX mbeans of applications deployed in JBoss enabled in RHQ?

Many thanks in advance,

Gerhard

Hi Gerhard,

Yes, it's still true. If you want to monitor custom MBeans, you will have to create your own RHQ agent plugin.

Actually, I think an how-to guide would make a good blog post subject. Tell me if you're interested.

Regards,
Thomas.

Something similar, yes. But targeting AS7 / Wildfly and not in demo format.

Targeting AS7 and not in demo format would be great.

Hi Gerhard,
I eventually wrote this blog post: Monitoring MBeans of a Java EE application deployed on EAP 6 with RHQ
Sorry this is long overdue.

All you need is summarized in the "The custom agent plugin" section of the article:
Create a directory for your custom plugin
Create a Maven POM file to build it (from the example in the article)
Create a src/main/resources/META-INF/rhq-plugin.xml file to describe your MBeans (again, from the example in the article)

And run mvn clean install

There's a comprehensive documentation of the Maven plugin for agent plugin online.

Thomas
