Versions used

• Netprobe: GA5.14.2 Linux Netprobe
• Java/JRE: java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.232.b09-0.el8_0.x86_64
• JBoss EAP:
  • JBoss Wildfly product version: 25.0.0.Final
  • JBoss Wildfly release version: 17.0.1.Final

Steps

1. Enable JBoss' management and admin console.
2. Extract JBoss' jboss-cli-client.jar file.
3. Transfer the jboss-cli-client.jar file to the Netprobe host.
4. Add the path of the said file to the Netprobe's GENEOS_JARS variable. For example:
   

   • # 64-bit JMX Server settings
     #JAVA_VENDOR=oracle
     export JAVA_HOME=/etc/alternatives/jre_openjdk
     export JRUN=${JAVA_HOME}/lib/amd64/server
     export GENEOS_JARS=${NP_HOME}:/opt/geneos/jboss_client_jar
     export GENEOS_LIBS=${NP_LIB}

   • In the example above, /opt/geneos/jboss_client_jar is the path of the jboss-cli-client.jar
5. Restart the Netprobe.
6. Check if the jboss-cli-client.jar file is loaded by looking at the "-Djava.class.path=" log entry in the Netprobe log. For example:

7. Configure the JMX sampler
   • The serviceURL setting format is service:jmx:remote+http://<JBoss hostname>:<JBoss admin console port> e.g. service:jmx:remote+http://pulgoso:9990
   • Add the correct MBean object and attributes. You may use this sampler_jmx_jboss.xml for reference.

Extracting MBean objects and attributes

JConsole is needed to extract JBoss MBean objects and attributes

1. Transfer the jboss-cli-client.jar file to a host that has JConsole.
2. Open a command prompt (e.g. cmd).
3. Go to the JConsole's directory.
4. Execute the command

   • jconsole -J-Djava.class.path="<JAVA_HOME>\lib\tools.jar";"<JAVA_HOME>\lib\jconsole.jar";"<JBoss client path>\jboss-cli-client.jar"

   • e.g.

   • jconsole -J-Djava.class.path="C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_231\lib\tools.jar";"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_231\lib\jconsole.jar";"C:\Program Files\Java\jboss_client_jar\jboss-cli-client.jar"

5. Input the following connection details in JConsole:
   • host: service:jmx:remote+http://<JBoss hostname>:<JBoss admin console port> e.g. service:jmx:remote+http://pulgoso:9990
   • username: JBoss admin console username
   • password: JBoss admin console password
