access ActiveAlarmTable outside JBoss console

[michele.curioni]

Hi there,

where is the ActiveAlarmTable stored?

Is there a way to access it from a different source?

Is there a way to auto refresh jboss console to display the latest alarms?

It would be good to have a way to map custom notifications to a severity, so that code doesn't have to use jboss specific utilities to generate notifications with severity.

Thanks,
Michele

1) It's all in memory.
2) You can access it remotely over the JMX Adaptor.
3) there is no auto-refresh (unless you want to add it)
4) for mapping notification one possibility would be to use the http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=ScriptingListener

Thanks Dimitris,

1) the table would then lose all its data after a jboss restart.
Have you thought about persising the data somehow?

4) This seems quite a convoluted way. Would it be possible to have something like:

This would apply only if the notification does not carry a severity.

Thanks,
Michele

Sure, a lot is possible, like extend the ActiveAlarmTable to use hibernate for persisting the alarms, or create some relatively simple xml driven mbean, for simple custom notification to active alarm mapping.

I just don't have the cycles for this now, so if someone wants to volunteer I can provide directions... :)
