Red Hat Training

A Red Hat training course is available for Red Hat JBoss Operations Network

Chapter 1. Managed Platforms

JBoss Operations Network 3.1.2 supports several major types of platforms and operating systems, including Java, Linux, Unix distributions, and Windows. Platform support is implemented through a single agent resource plug-in that defines the individual configuration, metrics, and operations for all supported platform types.
