JMX Support

Starting from 3.6, we can interact with the application server JMX API using the internal ovirt credentials. By default its listening localhost:8706 and every superuser such as admin@internal can login. To change the interface settings create a /etc/ovirt-engine/engine.conf.d/20-setup-jmx-debug.conf with:

   ENGINE_JMX_INTERFACE=public

Using the jboss-cli.sh you can interact with ovirt JMX console and its beans to do things such as:

• add/change loggers and change logging level
• get statistics on transactions, connections, threading
• redeploy, shutdown the instance
• stats from exposed oVirt beans like LockManager (see what engine entities are locked for provisioning)

This list is partial. JMX is an API and we can expose whatever management functionality is needed.

Usage

First make sure JBOSS_HOME is set:

  export JBOSS_HOME=/usr/share/ovirt-engine-wildfly

Interactive/cli session

Omitting a command from the argument list will open an interactive session

  $JBOSS_HOME/bin/jboss-cli.sh --controller=127.0.0.1:8706 --connect --user=admin@internal

A Cli command to get the version of the app server and some info:

  $JBOSS_HOME/bin/jboss-cli.sh --controller=127.0.0.1:8706 --connect --user=admin@internal version
