Testing if JBOSS is UP and running

mariobehring Mar 18, 2008 11:44 AM

Hi list,

I need to test if JBOSS is running on Windows machines. The test will be executed through a SNMP monitoring tool, like WhatsUP Gold (WUG). Usually when testing if a webpage is UP or DOWN through WUG we tell WUG to execute a get operation at the webpage and thatÂ´s it.

What should I do to test if JBOSS is up and running other than checking port 8080. Looks like on Windows the TCP port can answer while the JBOSS is actually not running...which doesnÂ´t happen on Linux or Unix machines.

Any help is appreciated.

Mario

Dunno if it helps but there JBoss services that you can extract info from about it's state.

Maybe have a servlet that extracts data from jboss.system:type=Server (Started f.i.)and returns it.
Then your tool would have to see if the contents matches what is expected.

List,
What happens is that Jboss is up, but the application does not respond, when this occurs we give a stop / start in Jboss application and return to work.
The WhatsUP Gold (WUG) to get on a page and the page replied.
We have made a probe that tests the page http://localhost:8080/jmx-console, and theoretically not be available if the Jboss is down.

You try
You have to do a telnet, and next a get request
