4.4. The Purpose of Managing EAP 6 Resources with JBoss ON
The JBoss ON UI maintains parity with the EAP 6 console, so it can be used to edit most configuration settings, create child entries, and deploy content, same as the EAP 6 management console.
The purpose of JBoss ON management, though, is not to have yet another web UI to use. JBoss ON maintains a larger perspective on the resources within the domain. This infrastructure-wide perspective reveals the relationship of a resource within the domain, the larger IT structure, and even itself and its own history aside from simply making a current configuration change.
Standalone servers and domains in JBoss ON are organized in a way that highlights the information that is available to administrators:
- Additional monitoring metrics for resources, with stored historical data, resource-specific operational baselines, and alternate display types
- Configuration and connection setting histories
- Inventory change histories when children are added or removed through JBoss ON
- Package versioning and repositories for controlled package updates
- Configuration, monitoring, and alerting for underlying and associated resources, like the platform, Apache and Tomcat web servers, and plug-ins like
