Red Hat Turns ON 2.0




May 6, 2008 —  JBoss is turning ON, tuning in and gathering metrics on your applications with Red Hat's release this morning of an update to the JBoss Operations Network. This time, there will be switches and dials for more than just the JBoss middleware stack.

At the heart of the JBoss Operations Network is Hyperic's open-source Web infrastructure management system. Red Hat has added its own spices to the mix, in the form of a provisioning system and some new information-gathering agents. Those agents gather metrics for JBoss ON's control panels.

Katrinka McCallum, vice president of the management solutions business unit at Red Hat, said agents “bring in metrics on the processes and services across Apache, JBoss and Postgres databases. And for everything that we're capturing, we have the ability to present trend analysis and the history in a Web-based form factor.”

Monitoring capabilities may expand with the addition of new agents. Those should come soon, thanks to JBoss' API. “The architecture of the server agent model allows you to build plug-in capabilities,” said McCallum. “We, today, have the capability of diving into the database data sources.”

Keeping systems administrators on the hook is always a must-have for consoles, and JBoss ON 2.0 can fire alerts off when metrics start spiking or flatlining. And for the development team, the management console can track applications from development to deployment.

JBoss ON 2.0 is available today from .
