[ajug-members] JBoss Monitoring

[Mark McCall]

Last month Kerry Randolph started a thread regarding monitoring/dashboard
tools, specifically with a slant towards JBoss.  I believe Burr mentioned a
few including JBoss Operations Network (now open sourced as JOPR
http://www.jboss.org/jopr/).

I have been trying JOPR 2.1 for the past few days and I have to say it looks
promising for our purposes.  The biggest problem I have found is that the
documentation for using the the system is lacking.  Once everything is
installed, it seems you are on your own for figuring it out.  Perhaps I'm
just not looking in the right place for the documentation- this is all I
have found so far: https://www.redhat.com/docs/en-US/JBoss_ON/.  To top it
off since Friday (when I started looking at this tool) the user forums have
been completely unavailable.

For those on this list who have used it, here a couple of questions I have:

1) I seem to be completely missing how to monitor the log file of a
discovered Jboss server instance.  Where in the world do I look in the tool
to monitor this resource?
2) Is event / alert data available forever?  The ability to create reports
from long loved historical data would be very useful to us.
3) What is the real difference between JOPR, JON and RHQ?

Thanks,
Mark
