how to manage an application (.war or .ear) with an agent (rhq project)??????????????

[sarahfr]

Hi,

I try to manage my application with an agent (rhq project 4.4.0) but I can not see my application in resources  which  are  managed by my agent.

please any idea??????????

ps: I deployed my application in standalone mode (jboss 7.1.1), and I can see my AS 7 server in resouces which are managed by my agent

thanks

It sounds like you successfully imported your AS7 server resource, and you can navigate to it such that it shows up in the resource detail view, and is the selected node in the resource tree view on the left side of the screen.  But that when you expand the tree nodes under the AS7 server, or if you search for your application directly, you don't see it.  Did you deploy your [web] application after importing the AS7 server?  If so it won't be discovered until the next time the agent performs discovery, which happens only once per day for service-level resources (because there is typically very little change in the underlying resources).

So, you can wait or you can force a discovery by executing the 'discovery -f' prompt command on your agent.  (via the command prompt in interactive mode, or via the RHQ Agent resources' 'Execute Prompt Command' operation.  Discovery also happens on an Agent restart.

Hope this helps.

thanks for your answer,

yes, I deployed my application we after importing the AS7 server.

I forced the discovery of my applicationI by executing the 'discovery -f' prompt command on your agent but I can not see my application in resouces.

Hmmm, that's odd.   Did the discovery complete successfully?  It can take some time depending on the size of the installation and the agent load.  Is the application running as expected, meaning can you hit it with a browser?  Did you have an active GUI session, if so perhaps you need to refresh your view.

Otherwise I can only recommend that you look in your RHQ agent log for any errors related to the discovery, because I think it should have ben found and reported.   You can also check your server log, I think you should see a message about discovered resources (I'm not 100% sure about that, though).

in the RHQ agent log I have this:

That's a pretty odd error but certainly it seems like discovery is not working for you yet.  I'm not exactly sure how your agent got into that state, did you uninventory your platform at any point?  Perhaps try an agent restart using the --purgedata option and see if that resolves the situation.

[sarahfr]

I restart my agent then I execute discovery command but I can not see my application :

> shutdown

Shutting down...

Shutdown complete.

>

> start

Starting the agent...

Started the agent successfully.
