[. . . ] JBoss ON provides an integrated view of your JBoss middleware infrastructure, JBoss middleware applications, operating system, and web tiers. Altogether, JBoss ON Server, agents, and modules provide you with an end-to-end application management solution. JBoss ON gives you a centralized, end-to-end application management solution. JBoss on WHAt Does it Do?With JBoss ON, you can auto-discover resources that span from the operating system to application server to enterprise service bus to applications across the JBoss middleware tier. [. . . ] Improve operational efficiency and reliability through thorough visibility into production availability and performance, and effectively manage configuration and roll-out of new applications across complex environments with a single, integrated tool. The JBoss ON Server, agents, and modules deliver inventorying, administration, deployment, and updating of JBoss-based middleware applications through a centrally managed model. Enterprise access control offers the necessary levels of visibility, access, and auditing to maintain systems and share vital information and statistics through diverse teams. A customizable portal offers critical information quickly to the right audiences. And because it's fully integrated with JBoss Operations Network, you can perform control actions such as starting, stopping, or re-starting applications or servers--all through the same console. With JBoss ON, you can: · Auto-discover application resources: operating systems, applications, and services. · From one console, store, edit, and set application configurations. · Start, stop, or schedule an action on an application resource. · Monitor and collect metric data for a particular platform, server, or service. · Alert support personnel based upon application alert conditions. · Assign roles for users to enable fine-grained access control to JBoss ON services. www. jboss. com 3 JBoss on server AnD moDules 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 platforms (Linux, HP-UX, Solaris, Windows, AIX), servers (JBoss EWS, EAP, SOA-P), and services (EJB, Message Driven Beans, data sources, ESB services). A central repository 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 business 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 4 www. jboss. com content module The Content module pro-actively notifies subscribers of new patches and software updates relevant to their environment. [. . . ] Graphing and charting capabilities like trend analysis are also included. A full audit trail of alerts is maintained for compliance purposes. The Monitoring module provides: · Pre-selected, configurable, and custom statistics · Alerts (currently SMTP/email alerts) · Configurable data storage · Initiate control actions on alerts · Baseline measurements and problem detection · Full alert audit trail · File system monitoring www. jboss. com 5 supporteD plAtforms HArDWAre ArcHitecture operAting system Intel / AMD Intel / AMD Intel / AMD IBM HP x86_32 and x86_64 x86_32 and x86_64 x86_32, x86_64, and SPARC 32-bit PA, Itanium Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 2. 1 and higher Microsoft Windows (XP, 2000, 2003, Vista) Various -- Solaris (8, 9, 10), SuSE (8, 9, 10) AIX 5. 2 HP-UX 11. x Note: other platforms that support Java5 require that native support be disabled.
