JBoss Network Enterprise Manager A detailed description of some of the key features of the JBN Enterprise Manager console The Professional Open Source™ Company
Agenda • Resource discovery. • Ways to group resources. • Creating fine-grained access control. • Types of charts. • Baseline metrics. • Configuring alerts. 2 The Professional Open Source™ Company
Resource Discovery • Two mechanisms for adding managed resources to the inventory: • Auto Scan • Quick. • Looks in the registry (windows only) and process table. • File Scan • Slow • Searches the file system. 3 The Professional Open Source™ Company
Grouping Resources • Compatible Groups • All members must be of the same resource type, e.g. all JBoss 3.2 servers. • Applications • Can contain any one of the following: • set of Service resources, or • set of Groups of Service resources. 4 The Professional Open Source™ Company
Grouping Resources • Mixed Groups • Can contain any one of the following: • set of Groups, or • set of Platforms, Servers and Services, or • set of Applications. • Auto-Groups • Created by JBN-EM, used to provide naturally-occurring/obvious groups. 5 The Professional Open Source™ Company
Access control • Permissions are ‘stacked’ as resources are: • Platform>Server>Service. • A good use for Mixed groups is for doing access control. • Define the group. • Define the role. • Associate them. • Result: User’s in that role will only be able to manage what is in that group. 6 The Professional Open Source™ Company
More on Metrics: Charts • Chart-types: • Multiple Metrics, Single Resource • Normal set of chart displayed on Monitor page. • Single Metric, Single Resource • Detailed view. • Single Metric, Multiple Resources • Seen when viewing charts for groups, e.g. auto-groups and compatible groups. 7 The Professional Open Source™ Company
More on Metrics: Baselines • Baseline for a metric: • Low/High/Average values over a rolling time window. • Useful for trend analysis, and generating appropriate alerts. • Once a metric enters its high or low range, i.e. it’s OOB (Out Of Bounds), it is marked as a Problem Resource. • Baselines can be • Automatically calculated on a scheduled basis. • Automatic calculation can be triggered manually. • Baseline values can be specified manually. 8 The Professional Open Source™ Company
More on Alerts • Can specify action invocation timing: • Immediately upon detecting trigger condition. • When frequency limit is exceeded in a given period. • Can specify compound trigger events for an Alert: • Event1 OR Event2 OR Event3. • Event4 AND Event5. • Alerts can be filtered conditionally: • Disable alert until re-enabled manually or by recovery alert. • Prevent alert ‘storms’ by disabling alert after its fired the first time. • Disregard control actions that are defined for related alerts. • Multiple alerts will not trigger the same control action. • Filter notification actions that are defined for related alerts. • Multiple alerts will be aggregated and only a single alert notification (e.g. email) will be issued. 11 The Professional Open Source™ Company
Q & A • Future WebEx presentations coming soon! • Will demonstrate in more detail the features provided by JBN EM, e.g. the Command Line Shell, JBoss monitoring, Tomcat monitoring. Thanks for your time! 13 The Professional Open Source™ Company
