3.6.6. Display Available Resources using the Management CLI
Prerequisites
The read-resource operation is a global operation used to read resource values. It can be used to expose either basic or complete information about the resources of the current or child nodes, along with a range of request properties to expand or limit the scope of the operation results. The request properties include the following parameters.
Request Properties
recursive- Whether to recursively include complete information about child resources.
recursive-depth- The depth to which information about child resources should be included.
proxies- Whether to include remote resources in a recursive query. For example including the host level resources from slave Host Controllers in a query of the Domain Controller.
include-runtime- Whether to include runtime attributes in the response, such as attribute values that do not come from the persistent configuration. This request property is set to false by default.
include-defaults- A boolean request property that serves to enable or disable the reading of default attributes. When set to false only the attributes set by the user are returned, ignoring any that remain undefined.
Procedure 3.19. Execute the Command in Management CLI
Run the
read-resourceoperationFrom the Management CLI, use theread-resourceoperation to display the available resources.[standalone@localhost:9999 /]
:read-resourceThe following example shows how you might use theread-resourceoperation on a standalone server instance to expose general resource information. The results resemble thestandalone.xmlconfiguration file, displaying the system resources, extensions, interfaces and subsystems installed or configured for the server instance. These can be further queried directly.Example 3.11. Using the
read-resourceoperation at the root level[standalone@localhost:9999 /]:read-resource { "outcome" => "success", "result" => { "deployment" => undefined, "deployment-overlay" => undefined, "management-major-version" => 1, "management-micro-version" => 0, "management-minor-version" => 4, "name" => "longgrass", "namespaces" => [], "product-name" => "EAP", "product-version" => "6.1.0.GA", "release-codename" => "Janus", "release-version" => "7.2.0.Final-redhat-3", "schema-locations" => [], "system-property" => undefined, "core-service" => { "management" => undefined, "service-container" => undefined, "server-environment" => undefined, "platform-mbean" => undefined }, "extension" => { "org.jboss.as.clustering.infinispan" => undefined, "org.jboss.as.connector" => undefined, "org.jboss.as.deployment-scanner" => undefined, "org.jboss.as.ee" => undefined, "org.jboss.as.ejb3" => undefined, "org.jboss.as.jaxrs" => undefined, "org.jboss.as.jdr" => undefined, "org.jboss.as.jmx" => undefined, "org.jboss.as.jpa" => undefined, "org.jboss.as.jsf" => undefined, "org.jboss.as.logging" => undefined, "org.jboss.as.mail" => undefined, "org.jboss.as.naming" => undefined, "org.jboss.as.pojo" => undefined, "org.jboss.as.remoting" => undefined, "org.jboss.as.sar" => undefined, "org.jboss.as.security" => undefined, "org.jboss.as.threads" => undefined, "org.jboss.as.transactions" => undefined, "org.jboss.as.web" => undefined, "org.jboss.as.webservices" => undefined, "org.jboss.as.weld" => undefined }, "interface" => { "management" => undefined, "public" => undefined, "unsecure" => undefined }, "path" => { "jboss.server.temp.dir" => undefined, "user.home" => undefined, "jboss.server.base.dir" => undefined, "java.home" => undefined, "user.dir" => undefined, "jboss.server.data.dir" => undefined, "jboss.home.dir" => undefined, "jboss.server.log.dir" => undefined, "jboss.server.config.dir" => undefined, "jboss.controller.temp.dir" => undefined }, "socket-binding-group" => {"standard-sockets" => undefined}, "subsystem" => { "logging" => undefined, "datasources" => undefined, "deployment-scanner" => undefined, "ee" => undefined, "ejb3" => undefined, "infinispan" => undefined, "jaxrs" => undefined, "jca" => undefined, "jdr" => undefined, "jmx" => undefined, "jpa" => undefined, "jsf" => undefined, "mail" => undefined, "naming" => undefined, "pojo" => undefined, "remoting" => undefined, "resource-adapters" => undefined, "sar" => undefined, "security" => undefined, "threads" => undefined, "transactions" => undefined, "web" => undefined, "webservices" => undefined, "weld" => undefined } } }Run the
read-resourceoperation against a child nodeTheread-resourceoperation can be run to query child nodes from the root. The structure of the operation first defines the node to expose, and then appends the operation to run against it.[standalone@localhost:9999 /]
/subsystem=web/connector=http:read-resourceIn the following example, specific resource information about a web subsystem component can be exposed by directing theread-resourceoperation towards the specific web subsystem node.Example 3.12. Expose child node resources from the root node
[standalone@localhost:9999 /] /subsystem=web/connector=http:read-resource { "outcome" => "success", "result" => { "configuration" => undefined, "enable-lookups" => false, "enabled" => true, "executor" => undefined, "max-connections" => undefined, "max-post-size" => 2097152, "max-save-post-size" => 4096, "name" => "http", "protocol" => "HTTP/1.1", "proxy-name" => undefined, "proxy-port" => undefined, "redirect-port" => 443, "scheme" => "http", "secure" => false, "socket-binding" => "http", "ssl" => undefined, "virtual-server" => undefined } }The same results are possible by using thecdcommand to navigate into the child nodes and run theread-resourceoperation directly.Example 3.13. Expose child node resources by changing directories
[standalone@localhost:9999 /] cd subsystem=web
[standalone@localhost:9999 subsystem=web] cd connector=http
[standalone@localhost:9999 connector=http] :read-resource { "outcome" => "success", "result" => { "configuration" => undefined, "enable-lookups" => false, "enabled" => true, "executor" => undefined, "max-connections" => undefined, "max-post-size" => 2097152, "max-save-post-size" => 4096, "name" => "http", "protocol" => "HTTP/1.1", "proxy-name" => undefined, "proxy-port" => undefined, "redirect-port" => 443, "scheme" => "http", "secure" => false, "socket-binding" => "http", "ssl" => undefined, "virtual-server" => undefined } }Use the recursive parameter to include active values in results
The recursive parameter can be used to expose the values of all attributes, including non-persistent values, those passed at startup, or other attributes otherwise active in the runtime model.[standalone@localhost:9999 /]
/interface=public:read-resource(include-runtime=true)Compared to the previous example, the inclusion of theinclude-runtimerequest property exposes additional active attributes, such as the bytes sent and bytes received by the HTTP connector.Example 3.14. Expose additional and active values with the
include-runtimeparameter[standalone@localhost:9999 /] /subsystem=web/connector=http:read-resource(include-runtime=true) { "outcome" => "success", "result" => { "any" => undefined, "any-address" => undefined, "any-ipv4-address" => undefined, "any-ipv6-address" => undefined, "inet-address" => expression "${jboss.bind.address:127.0.0.1}", "link-local-address" => undefined, "loopback" => undefined, "loopback-address" => undefined, "multicast" => undefined, "name" => "public", "nic" => undefined, "nic-match" => undefined, "not" => undefined, "point-to-point" => undefined, "public-address" => undefined, "resolved-address" => "127.0.0.1", "site-local-address" => undefined, "subnet-match" => undefined, "up" => undefined, "virtual" => undefined } }
