Chapter 5. Installing JBoss Agent Plug-in Packs
JBoss Operations Network has additional agent plug-ins to handle specific JBoss resources — EWS, EDS, EAP, or SOA-P. Although these are JBoss ON resource plug-ins, they are included in separate packages and require a separate subscription to download them.
Note
Installing the EWS, EDS, EAP, or SOA-P plug-ins is not the same as deploying a custom agent plug-in or a server-side plug-in. Deploying custom plug-ins is done after JBoss ON server installation and is described in the Basic Admin Guide.
- Download the plug-in JAR files from the Customer Support Portal.In the Customer Support Portal, open the Downloads tab and select the Downloads item in the JBOSS ENTERPRISE MIDDLEWARE area.
- Select the JBoss ON for Plug-in product in the drop-down box.
- Download the plug-in packs.
- Extract the additional plug-in pack archives to a temporary location. This creates a subdirectory with the name
jon-plugin-pack-plugin_name-version. For example:[root@server rhq-agent]# unzip jon-plugin-pack-eap-3.1.2.0.GA1.zip -d /tmp
- Copy the extracted plug-in JAR files from the
jon-plugin-pack-plugin_name-3.1.2.0.GA1/directory to the JBoss ON server plug-in directory. For example:[root@server rhq-agent]# cp /tmp/jon-plugin-pack-plugin_name-3.1.2.0.GA1/*.jar /opt/jon/jon-server-3.1.2.0.GA1/plugins
- Have the JBoss ON server update its plug-ins. This can be done through the JBoss ON GUI or by restarting the server.To load the plug-ins through the GUI:
- Open the Administration tab.
- In the Configuration area on the left, select the Agent Plug-ins link.
- At the bottom of the list of loaded agent plug-ins, click the button.
- Have the agents reload their plug-ins to load the new plug-ins. This can be done from the agent's command prompt using the
pluginscommand:> plugins update
This can also be done in the JBoss ON GUI by scheduling an update plugins operation for an agent or a group or agents.Alternatively, restart the agents.
