Overview of this book

The JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) has been one of the most popular tools for Java developers to create modular, cloud-ready, and modern applications. It has achieved a reputation for architectural excellence and technical savvy, making it a solid and efficient environment for delivering your applications. The book will first introduce application server configuration and the management instruments that can be used to control the application server. Next, the focus will shift to enterprise solutions such as clustering, load balancing, and data caching; this will be the core of the book. We will also discuss services provided by the application server, such as database connectivity and logging. We focus on real-world example configurations and how to avoid common mistakes. Finally, we will implement the knowledge gained so far in terms of Docker containers and cloud availability using RedHat's OpenShift.

Monitoring your applications

So far, we have learnt how to gather basic statistics from the CLI about some key attributes. The values extracted from the CLI can be easily extended into a scripting system, which includes some more advanced functionalities such as alerts or triggers. In an Enterprise context, however, it is often required to gather information that is not directly exposed by the CLI or to create graphical views or even business intelligence from this data. We will show which tools are commonly used for this purpose.

Using JConsole to display graphical attributes

A common and widely used tool for visualizing insights about your server's key attributes is JConsole, which ships as part of the JDK. A detailed description of this tool is available on the Oracle site at: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/management/jconsole.html.

You can start JConsole using a patched script included in your JBOSS_HOME/bin, named jconsole.sh. This script includes in the classpath...
