  • Can the agent connect to JBoss EAP 6 as a JMX client?

Environment

  • Red Hat JBoss Operations Network (ON) 3.1.2, 3.2, 3.3
  • Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) 6.0, 6.0.1, 6.4, 7
  • Red Hat JBoss Application Server (AS) 7 plug-in for JBoss ON
  • Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7 (EAP7) plug-in for JBoss ON

  • JBoss EAP (versions 6.0 and 6.1) has been configured with the JMX module enabled (urn:jboss:domain:jmx) and its show-model element set to true:

            <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:jmx:1.1">
            <show-model value="true"/>
            <remoting-connector/>
        </subsystem>

  • JBoss EAP (versions after 6.1) has been configured in the following way:

           <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:jmx:1.3">
           <expose-resolved-model/>
           <expose-expression-model/>
           <remoting-connector/>
        </subsystem>

    Note: The existance of the expose-resolved-model child is translated into the show-model=true attribute in the older versions of EAP 6 (6.0.1 and 6.1)
