Appdynamics Lite support for Jboss Server in Domain mode with 2 instances of JBoss

CommunityUser

We have installed Appdyanmics Lite in JBoss-eap-6.0. by editing domian.conf.bat.  JBoss is running in Domain mode with two instance of Jboss.

In viewer we are seeing only one JVM and while putting load no Transaction is getting caputred.

I have read that AD-Lite can monitor only one JVM.

Does AD- Lite support Domain mode of server or we need to go with pro version?And if yes what all changes we need to do.

kindly help..

Hi,

Yes, your observation is right, if jboss server in domain is starting two instances of domain, One Lite viewer can only monitor one domain (JVM). But if you can configure -javaagent per domain in Jboss server and start each domain then you can start multiple lite viewers (each lite viewer in different port) and provide the liteviewer port in -Dappdynamics.viewer.port=<viewer-port> in -D jvm property in addition to -javaagent property while conifguring domain

say:
example1:
viewer startup script:
java -Dadlite.port=8990 -jar adlite-viewer.jar

agent entry in domain1 startup script:
shell> java -Dappdynamics.viewer.port=8990 -javaagent:<agent_dir>/javaagent.jar

example2:
viewer startup script:
java -Dadlite.port=8991 -jar adlite-viewer.jar
agent entry in domain2 startup script:
shell> java -Dappdynamics.viewer.port=8991 -javaagent:<agent_dir>/javaagent.jar

If the above scenario (configuring -javaagent for particular jboss domain) is not applicable to your environment then you need to go for AD Pro version: http://info.appdynamics.com/freetrial.html

Please let us know if that clarifies your query.

Thanks,

Arun

What do you mean by "starting two instances of domain"? Do you mean starting one domain with two app servers? In that case shouldn't we add the agent information to the host/jvm instead of domain script?

Hi ,

AD lite viewer supports can only monitor one JVM(one domain instance of jboss), i had earlier mentioned that you can have another liteviewer running in diffeerent port , so that you can provide second viewer port to monitor other domain instance as well.

Yes lite supports domain mode as well. But as i said one lite viewer can monitor one lite agent only.

We confirm you can go for AD pro in which multiple JVMs can be monitored by single controller.

regarding the other query "while putting load no Transaction is getting caputred.", can you send the agent logs , we would like to check what type of request (servlet , springs, etc) you are making , and the corersponding entry point is enabled in lite viewer -> configuration -> transaction detection or not

Thanks,

Arun
