JBOSS Server Monitoring
Overview
This page provides a list of JBoss Monitors supported by Cavisson, pre-requisites for monitoring configuration, and monitoring capabilities of JBoss monitors.
JBOSS Monitors
Cavisson supports following JBoss monitors:
JBoss AS7
JBoss Application Server (JBoss AS) is an open-source, cross-platform Java application server developed by JBoss, a division of Red Hat Inc. JBoss AS is an open-source implementation of Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) that is used for implementing Java applications and other Web-based applications and software.
JBoss EAP
- Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 (JBoss EAP 6) is a middleware platform built on open standards and compliant with the Java Enterprise Edition 6 specification. It integrates JBoss Application Server 7 with high-availability clustering, messaging, distributed caching, and other technologies.
- JBoss EAP 6 includes a new, modular structure that allows service enabling only when required, improving start-up speed.
- The Management Console and Management Command Line Interface make editing XML configuration files unnecessary, add the ability to script, and automate tasks.
- In addition, JBoss EAP 6 includes APIs and development frameworks for quickly developing secure and scalable Java EE applications.
