JBoss on server
The JBoss ON Server is the command center for managing
your JBoss middleware environment. The JBoss ON Server
provides a rich AJAX-based graphical interface as your
management console. The JBoss ON Server acts as the
central messaging bus for all monitoring, inventory, and
control events with full audit capabilities. It also manages
the triggers and actions used for alerting.
JBoss ON Server provides:
Custom dashboards
•
User logins authenticated through LDAP
•
Roles for fine-grained administrative access control
•
Server API spans across all supported modules
•
Remote API accessible via SOAP and Java clients
•
Extensive secure CLI support
•
inventory module
The Inventory module catalogs IT assets spanning plat-
forms (Linux, HP-UX, Solaris, Windows, AIX), servers
(JBoss EWS, EAP, SOA-P), and services (EJB, Message
Driven Beans, data sources, ESB services). A central reposi-
tory of resources that JBoss ON manages and monitors
is generated from information collected by the agents.
Creation of logical topologies made up of resources can
now provide improved visibility and control of your busi-
ness applications (versions and dependencies).
The Inventory module allows:
Auto-discovery by agent or manual discovery options
•
Discovery by file scan, registry scan, or process
•
table scan
Resources organized in logical groups and logical
•
topologies
Dynamic resource groups based on rules
•
Administration module
The Administration module provides a single location
for performing key control functions. Functions can be
ordered, initiated on-demand, or scheduled for a later
time for logical groups of components. And an audit trail
ensures that you'll know whenever any administration
functions take place and by whom.
The Administration module provides many features,
including:
The capability to start, stop, and re-start applications
•
across the JBoss middleware platform
Low-level access to all configuration files, individually
•
or as groups
Operations can be triggered by events
•
Versioning for configuration files
•
Schedule operations in parallel or in serial
•
(rolling) format
Roll-back to previous versions
