JBoss Management Support

JBoss is the most popular, fully compliant open source J2EE application server. Because Hyperic HQ is built on JBoss technology, Hyperic has ensured that HQ provides the most complete JBoss management capabilties available from any solution on the market.

HQ's JMX-driven auto-discovery provides detailed information on every component and service deployed on JBoss as well as support for JBoss clustering technology and many other services typically deployed in JBoss such as Hibernate, JGroups, and JBossCache. HQ's advanced technology also allows JBoss administrators to monitor the JVM performance from the host operating system's perspective, offering CPU utilization, real memory statistics, and file handle consumption by the JBoss process. These monitoring capabilities combined with HQ's fully personalizeable portal UI allow you define custom views to compare and analyze the vast list of metrics provided for the JBoss server and its various services alongside information about how the operating system is managing the load incurred from the JBoss processes.

HQ also includes the ability to monitor JBoss log files for any error, info, or debug events that are reported. These events are then reported back and stored in the HQ server to allow administrators to diagnose problems by correlating errors seen in log files to the behavior of any of the many metrics collected by HQ. HQ also monitors the core JBoss configuration files, generating alertable events for any change to a file which help you measure the impact of a config change and its effect on the health of your JBoss environment.

HQ's control capabilities are designed to allow administrators to start, stop, and restart your JBoss servers through the HQ portal. Control functionality can be used to control an individual JBoss server or to perform sequential or parallel control operations against a cluster without having to login to each server.
