Monitoring / Surveillance Feature in domain mode

karink Sep 15, 2011 12:32 PM

Hi,

playing around with JBoss (AS7) in domain mode I have seen that several processes are started when a domain is started

ProcessController -> HostController (which is either the DomainController or just a HostController) -> all App Servers (marked with autostart= true)

I have also recognized that when I kill an JBoss AS 7 App Server -> it will be automatically restarted by the HostController

and when I kill the JBoss AS 7 HostController that one will be automatically restarted by the ProcessController

As I haven't found any description about this feature I'm wondering if this is a supported feature (or is it just the way it is today implemented and in future this behaviour can change).

I think it is pretty cool, because in past we used the javaservicewrapper to monitor our JBoss processes and now JBoss seems to support that itself

Regards && Thanks for your help
Karin

Yes, this is part of the responsibility of the ProcessController and HostController. So unless it's a controlled shutdown the processes will get restarted.
