Chapter 6. JBoss Operations Network

JBoss Operations Network gives administrators a single point of access to view their systems. JBoss Operations Network provides a means to develop and monitor a system's inventory. Every managed resource – from platforms to applications to services – is contained and organized in the inventory, no matter how complex the IT environment is.

JBoss Operations Network centralizes all of its operations in an installed server. The JBoss Operations Network server communicates with locally installed JBoss Operations Network agents. The agents interact directly with the platform and services to carry out local tasks such as monitoring. The types of resources that can be managed by JBoss Operations Network and the operations that can be carried out are determined by the server and agent plug-ins that have been loaded into JBoss Operations Network.
