Instrument an Enterprise Application Platform 7 server

Download the agent installer

To instrument an EAP server and be able to monitor and manage it from CloudForms, we first need to embed an agent within the server.

The EAP agent installer is available within the Middleware manager. We need to access http://my_mwmanager_host:8080/, click on the link "EAP Agent Installer" then enter the credentials for the Middleware Manager: Middleware Manager Homepage

It will download a file name hawkular-wildfly-agent-installer.jar that we need to copy on the same host as the EAP server that we want to instrument.

Install the agent in Enterprise Application Platform

Once downloaded we run the following command to install the embedded agent, in standalone and/or domain mode depending on how EAP is expected to run.

Standalone mode

java -jar ~Downloads/hawkular-wildfly-agent-installer.jar
   --target-location=/opt/jboss-eap-7.0/
   --server-url=http://192.168.1.123:8080
   --username=my_mwmanager_username
   --password=my_mwmanager_password

Domain mode

java -jar ~Downloads/hawkular-wildfly-agent-installer.jar
   --target-location=/opt/jboss-eap-7.0/
   --target-config=/opt/jboss-eap-7.0/domain/configuration/host.xml
   --server-url=http://192.168.1.123:8080
   --username=my_mwmanager_username
   --password=my_mwmanager_password

Verify in CloudForms

Once installed, start or restart EAP, then access the Middleware Provider that was already configured in CloudForms.

Warning
