The JBoss EAP / Wildfly provides a powerful concept for management, configuration, and monitoring of the application server itself and its Java EE applications.
In the previous post we focused on some useful runtime metrics, which are of interest when monitoring your application server and applications. This post introduces the management clients provided by the JBoss EAP / Wildfly Application Server to manage and configure server instances.
The JBoss EAP / Wildfly provides a powerful concept for management, configuration and monitoring of the JBoss Application Server itself and its Java EE Applications. The concept is based on the detyped management API. All management clients of the application server use this detyped management API to interact with the server.
In this post we focus on some useful runtime metrics which are of interest when monitoring your application server and application with the Command Line Interface (CLI).
One of the biggest advantages, besides the support for the Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Middleware are the access to continuous updates and bug fixes. In previous versions, minor patches could not be applied automatically, also updates or bug fixes had to be installed manually, by changing individual configuration files and replacing Java Archives.
Since version 6.2 the Command Line Interface of the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) contains a command to apply minor updates and patches without changing individual files manually.
The Java EE platform provides a component-based architecture, which supports modular concepts to develop applications and reuse components in different applications and environments. Dependencies to the application server specific environment can be defined in deployment descriptors, such as ejb-jar.xml for EJB components.
The JBoss EAP6 and AS7 supports different approaches to mange server configurations. One approach is the command line interface (CLI). It is based on the De-Typed Management API and allows the execution of management operations. The CLI has support for CLI scripts with management and configuration operations that can be executed in a non-interactive mode.
In this post we want to introduce two ways of using CLI scripts to manage server configurations.
