Monitoring JBoss server remotely.

[paskal_sanil]

Hi,

I am planning to develop an application to monitor the JBOSS server health remotely. How can i do that? Is there any sample code available? Which APIs should i use?

Can i use JBoss remoting for this purspose? If yes which feature of "Remoting" should i use?

I would greatly appreciate any help in this regard.

thanks in advance,

You could just look into using JBoss Operations Network :-)

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. But going through the link i didn't get idea on how to make use of this feature in my monitoring code (client).

Is it something still under development? Will it expose any APIs which i can call from my client program? Do i have to include any jars in my client to access these APIs? If yes where to download that jars. Is there any sample code available?

To be more precise i want to generate a server health report on my remote client. It is for this purpose that i need JBoss APIs to read the various Server health parameters.

thanks in advance,

Every service within JBoss is deployed as a JMX MBean. To get remote access to these mbeans, can use the RMIAdaptor (see following links).
