BMC patrol monitoring with JBoss EAP 6

Solution Unverified - Updated

Environment

Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) 6.x
BMC patrol monitoring tool

Issue

  • How to enable remote monitoring access to JMX/JBoss, so that BMC patrol monitoring tool can monitor JBoss EAP 6.x service?

Resolution

BMC Patrol Monitoring is not a Red Hat product, contact BMC for configuration, documentation, etc...

JMX is a Java standard, so with the $JBOSS_HOME/bin/client/jboss-client.jar in the classpath and using the JMX URL `service:jmx:remoting-jmx://jbossHost:9999', where jbossHost is the hostname or IP of that JBoss EAP is listening on for the management native port, then a standard Java JDK connector can connect to JBoss via remote jmx.

See [1] for testing a connection with jconsole.
