Jboss EAP 6.1 thread pool detection

[CommunityUser]

I am running JBoss EAP 6.1 with below settings in standalone.xml

Below creates a thread pool named "http-executor"

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:threads:1.1">
            <blocking-bounded-queue-thread-pool name="http-executor">
                <core-threads count="200"/>
                <queue-length count="100"/>
                <max-threads count="2048"/>
                <keepalive-time time="60" unit="seconds"/>
            </blocking-bounded-queue-thread-pool>
        </subsystem>

 Then this thread pool is used in jboss web settings as below indicated in BOLD:

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:web:1.4" default-virtual-server="default-host" native="false">
            <connector name="http" protocol="HTTP/1.1" scheme="http" socket-binding="http" executor="http-executor"/>
            <connector name="https" protocol="HTTP/1.1" scheme="https" socket-binding="https" secure="true">
                <ssl name="https" password="GSPxbec12" certificate-key-file="C:\jboss\bin\ssl.keystore" protocol="TLS"/>
            </connector>
            <virtual-server name="default-host" enable-welcome-root="true">
                <alias name="localhost"/>
                <alias name="example.com"/>
            </virtual-server>
        </subsystem>

 Now I want to track the no of threads and other related information in appdynamics like I am able to do for http:0.0.0.0:80 under metric browser ->node->JMX->web container runtime->.

Basically I want to get the specific information related to the thead pool created by me.

Interested if this ever got resolved. We are having similar challenges with EAP 6.2 / Jboss 7.3.

Under EAP 4.3 / Jboss 4.2.1 we used to get a whole swag of JMX Metrics including

jboss.web:type=ThreadPool,* 

jboss.jca:service=ManagedConnectionPool,*

jboss.web:type=Manager,*

However with the changes to EAP/Jboss container strategies in JBoss 5/6/7 all of these metrics are now reported as zero in AppDynamics.

Does AppDynamics have any plans to support EAP 6.2 based Metrics (c.f Jboss 4.N variant only) 

Ideally hoping to just get the standard ones back - I have been able to get some of this back using the CLI interface. So tempted to try and create a plugin - for the machine agent!!!

Hi Rippon and Andrew,

I wonder the default JMX config for jboss server under Configure -> Instrumentation -> JMX screen in controller UI might not match mbean pattern for different versions, Can you check if the target metrics are exposed in jconsole and if yes then please check whether they are also shows up on mbean browser for the same node dashbaord -> jmx -> mbean browser section as refrerred in doc link :

https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO39/Configure+JMX+Metrics+from+MBeans#ConfigureJMXMetricsfrom...

https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO39/Monitor+JMX+MBeans

Let us know if that information helps.

Regards,

Arun
