JBoss-Admin for your iPhone v1.0

[cvasilak]

Hi there,

over the last couple of months I have been working (in my spare time) on an iphone app that will allow you to remotely administer a JBoss 7 server using the exposed http management interface. I am happy to announce that the app is finally published in the app store!

The application supports the following features:

- Subsystem Metrics Monitoring

The metrics currently exposed are for Configuration, JVM, Data Sources, JMS Destinations, Transactions and Web subsystems (similar to those shown in the JBoss built-in web console).

- Deployments Management

You can upload an artifact (installed on your iPhone through iTunes file sharing mechanism) and then enable/disable it on the server.

- Browse the management tree

The whole management tree is exposed for you to configure, similar to the JBoss-cli {-gui} tool provided by the server. You can easily modify attributes and execute operations. Documentation of attributes and operation parameters (as provided by the JBoss 7 server) is easily accessed for you to refer.

Note that both operating modes (Standalone / Domain) of the server are supported. If running in "Domain" mode, you can easily switch the server you want to monitor its metrics, as well as manage deployments on each individual server-group.

It's free and you can find it here:

I've created a screencast that demonstrates the application "in action". You can find it here:

I am looking forward for your comments and suggestions

Enjoy!

That is very cool!!!  Can't wait to give it a shot!

Any chance this source is open (barring any apple rules)?  It would be great to collaborate on something like this, and maybe implement Android support as well.

Great work Christos. It fits nicely into the collection of management tools. And it works like charm!

Actuallly I think I am going to drop the CLI for it ...

Cool, you seem to be using the JSON encoded payload over HTTP. How did it work out for you? Does the AFNetworking lib simplify the job?

Wow, that is a really impressive piece of software!

Now if I only could convince the security guys to open the http interface port from the outside so I could manage our servers on the go

No need to open up security, just configure vpn client on phone and your are done

If that fails you could always try to convince them to all your phone to VPN in. I even have a soft token (OTP) on mine.
