JBoss Monitoring

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 _______________________________________________ ajug-members mailing list ajug-members@... http://www.ajug.org/mailman/listinfo/ajug-members |

I'll try to provide some quick answers but note, while I work for JBoss, this isn't my product. :-) Plus I'm a manager-type with the appropriate lobotomy.
this is a feature of JON (therefore JOPR) but I believe it is somewhat hidden in the GUI, I can't remember which screen at this moment.
There is a purge process, the default might be 60 days but you can set it. You will fill up hard drives really fast if you keep it forever. I'm not aware of any selective purging but that would be a great feature - now that it is open source, perhaps you can contribute it! :-)
This is my understanding... JON is the supported product - if you want support, this is the version you get and it has been QA'd and configured to work with particular versions of JBoss "out of the box" - think "enterprise version" JOPR is the community version and is only supported by the community, with the appropriate SLA (whenever the community feels like helping you). RHQ is the "upstream" for JON & JOPR, it is the "base" stuff from Hyperic++. The JBoss specific plug-ins are found in JOPR, the generic OS, file system, etc monitoring is in RHQ. JON pulls from both projects for the "product"/"enterprise" version which is the supported one.
