Hawkular, the monitoring platform, is happy to announce the release of its sixth milestone 1.0.0.Alpha6.

Alert Center

We have started providing the so called 'Alert Center', a place where you can see all fired alerts and alert definitions in one place

Organizations

We have also started providing support for organizations, where a user may belong to zero, one or more organizations. This to support multi-tenancy in Hawkular, so that it could be run in a central installation, but with multiple separate departments only seing their own resources

Creation and deletion of Data sources

There is also a new dialog to add a Datasource to a managed WildFly server

Agent installer

We have now a little helper, the wildfly-agent installer, that makes it much easier to install the agent inside a WildFly server.

Run the installer
java -jar target/hawkular-wildfly-monitor-installer-0.10.1.Final-SNAPSHOT-standalone.jar \
  --module=/path/to/module.zip \
  --wildfly-home=/opt/wildfly-9.0.0.Final \
  --hawkular-server-url=http://myServer:8080

Hawkular Agent is then installed to Wildfly Server /opt/wildfly-9.0.0.Final as a module and is able to report to Hawkular Server located at http://myServer:8080.

Note that the installer uses a default of jdoe/password for user/password that is encoded in a properties file inside the installer jar. If you need a different value you need to edit those properties.

We will in the future (also) support the WildFly Feature packs.

The next Alpha is planned for November 18th, and we are planning to work on the following features:

  • More work on the alert center

  • More work on the organizations

  • Finish work for JDBC Drivers and Datasources

  • Support agent download from server for installer purposes

  • Start of an 'overview' page per app server

Btw

There are two easter-eggs in the release :-)
