HornetQ: Management Capabilities via some UI

[deepakdewangan]

Guys,

Any comments on the management capabiltiies of this exciting JMS Server ?

Do we have any tools which can give some insights about whats happening inside the HornetQ ?

Some metrics/stuffs I would like to see:

1) number of topics/connections

2) connectionfactory historical/live data

3) number of messages pending/consumed on a given topic/queue

4) jvm state/health of jvm

Thanks

Deepak

All these informations are available using JMX and a JMX console (e.g. jconsole).

Have a look at the management chapter in the user manual and the management API javadoc.

Thanks,

One of the reasons, our OPS team is hesistant to adopt/embrace JBoss-AS is its lack of good admin/management tool.

I knwo JMX console is good but do you really expect the OPS to fumble through the jmx-console to do some operations.

For JBOSS-AS: JON is trying to fill in the gap, wondering about HornetQ.

Personally, I feel: HornetQ may be a  awsome JMS Server but you can its widescale adoption if you don't have good/easy tools to manage/administer it. It may very well be hermeez or something else...

I am really excited about this and hoping I have some way to manage/administer this.

This is already on the road-map.

There is a JIRA task for 2.1 for integrating with JON. (See JIRA)

Thanks

I would wait for GA to be out and  we may be one of the biggest deployments of HornetQ if things go well.

Sometime next year, I may be taking HornetQ in our lab to test this out, right now, I am just keeping an eye over it.
