Log statements in process-controller logs when wrong JVM settings are configured in JBoss EAP 6.

Issue

  • There are cases when customers or operators configure wrong JVM settings. For example, Configure the following in domain.xml under server-groups:
    <server-groups>
        <server-group name="server-group-1" profile="default">
            <jvm name="default" java-home="/opt/jet/java/jdk1.8.0-x64">
                <heap max-size="256m"/>
                <jvm-options>
                    <option value="-server"/>
                    <option value="-verbose:gc"/>
                    <option value="-XX:+DisableExplicitGC"/>
                    <option value="-XX:+PrintGCDateStamps"/>
                    <option value="-XX:+PrintGCDetails"/>
                    <option value="-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC"/>
                    <option value="-XX:foo"/>
                </jvm-options>
            </jvm>

The option -XX:foo is wrong and as a result, servers inside server-group aren't started. The below message is logged in process-controller logs :

2016-02-18 14:20:46,232 [reaper for Server:server-1] INFO  org.jboss.as.process.Server:server-1.status - JBAS012010: Process 'Server:server-1' finished with an exit status of 1

There is no reason logged as to why the JVM failed to start. This always takes a long time to find out. Is there a way, how we can find out more about the cause?
