1 JBoss EAP Plug-in Overview and Prerequisites

This chapter provides an overview description of the Oracle system monitoring plug-in for JBoss EAP and provides a list of available features. Review the summary of prerequisites required before configuring JBoss EAP for monitoring by Oracle Enterprise Manager.

JBoss EAP Plug-in Overview and Feature Summary

The system monitoring plug-in for JBoss EAP extends Oracle Enterprise Manager 24.1 to add support for managing JBoss EAP instances. By deploying the plug-in within your environment, you gain the following management features:

Monitor JBoss EAP instances.
Gather configuration data and track configuration changes for JBoss EAP instances.
Raise alerts and violations based on thresholds set on monitored metrics and configuration data.
Provide rich out-of-box reports through Enterprise Manager's Information Publisher reports feature based on the gathered data.
Support monitoring by a local or remote Agent. Local Agent is an agent that is running on the same host as the JBoss EAP server. Remote Agent is an agent running on a host that is different from the host where JBoss EAP is running.

Oracle Enterprise Manager Jobs that allow for the following management of JBoss EAP:
- Reloading JBoss
- Get the status of JBoss
- Restart JBoss

JBoss EAP Plug-in Prerequisites

The following prerequisites must be met before you can deploy the plug-in. Patches are available from My Oracle Support: https://support.oracle.com.

Enterprise Manager (Oracle Management Server and Oracle Management Agent) must be installed.
Ensure JMX is enabled on JBoss EAP. For more information on how to enable JMX, see Red Hat’s documentation for Standalone and Domainmode.
Confirm the <interfaces> section is correct in your standalone.xml file.
For example, it may look something like this. In this example, you must replace both 127.0.0.1 IP addresses with the IP address of the host.
```
<interfaces>
        <interface name="management">
            <inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address.management:127.0.0.1}"/>
        </interface>
        <interface name="public">
            <inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address:127.0.0.1}"/>
        </interface>
    </interfaces>
```

Downloading the Plug-in

Download the JBoss EAP Plug-in

You can download plug-ins in online or offline mode. Online mode refers to an environment where you have Internet connectivity, and can download the plug-in directly through Enterprise Manager from My Oracle Support. Offline mode refers to an environment where you do not have Internet connectivity, or where the plug-in is not available from My Oracle Support.

See the Managing Plug-ins chapter in the Oracle Enterprise Manager Administrator's Guide for details on downloading the plug-in in either mode.

Deploying the Plug-in

Deploying the JBoss EAP Plug-in

You can deploy the plug-in to an Oracle Management Service instance using the Enterprise Manager console, or using the EM Command Line Interface (EMCLI). While the console enables you to deploy one plug-in at a time, the command line interface mode enables you to deploy multiple plug-ins at a time, that can save plug-in deployment time and downtime.

See the Managing Plug-ins chapter in the Oracle Enterprise Manager Administrator's Guide for instructions on deploying the plug-in.

Upgrading the Plug-in

How to upgrade the JBoss EAP plug-in for Enterprise Manager.

The Self Update feature allows you to expand Enterprise Manager's capabilities by updating Enterprise Manager components whenever new or updated features become available. Updated plug-ins are made available via the Enterprise Manager Store, an external site that is periodically checked by Enterprise Manager to obtain information about updates ready for download. See the Updating Plug-ins chapter in the Oracle Enterprise Manager Administrator's Guide for steps to update the plug-in.
