JBoss operations network for
JBoss enterprise weB server
WHAT IS IT?
JBoss Operations Network (JBoss ON) is an integrated
®
management platform that simplifies your JBoss mid-
dleware management needs. With JBoss ON for JBoss
Enterprise Web Server (EWS), you can manage your web
server and the applications that run on it from the same
console used to manage your JBoss Enterprise Application
platform (EAP) and JBoss Service Oriented Architecture
Platform (SOA-P).
WHAT DOES IT DO?
JBoss ON for EWS helps you understand your web appli-
cation environment and manage its operational needs.
With JBoss ON for EWS you can auto-discover web appli-
cation and web server resources across single and multiple
nodes, perform configuration, deployment, and control
operations, and monitor the health of web servers and
web applications with diagnostic information. With all
these functions, JBoss ON clearly can meet the service
level requirements of availability and performance for
enterprise web applications.
WHY SHOULD I CARE?
Whether your enterprise is running lightweight Java appli-
cations or large-scale websites, management of the web
platform is critical to your success. Making sure your web
servers are up and running and that applications meet your
performance goals can be difficult when you do not have
the right management tools.
Application and web server downtime can cause poor cus-
tomer satisfaction and bring huge losses to the business.
JBoss ON for EWS simplifies your operations through a sin-
gle console that delivers control of enterprise management
for your web platform. With JBoss ON for EWS, you can
configure and deploy applications to multiple EWS nodes,
get visibility into your applications' health, and generate
diagnostic and historical data that drives improvements
or resolves technical issues. JBoss ON's open standards
support and plug-in framework means that your applica-
tion management platform is extensible, customizable, and
future-proof. JBoss ON delivers operational dependability
and manageability with the reduced costs of open source.
Overview
JBoss ON for EWS is a product of the JBoss ON
Management Platform. The JBoss ON server, agents, and
modules inventory, administer, deploy, and update JBoss-
based middleware applications through a centrally man-
aged model. Enterprise access control offers the necessary
levels of visibility, access, and auditing to maintain sys-
tems and share vital information and statistics through
diverse teams. The monitoring module allows you to col-
lect detailed performance metrics on applications and web
servers, analyze the collected data, and alert you when
issues are found. A customizable portal offers critical infor-
mation quickly, with user- and role-based fine-grained secu-
rity features that integrate with LDAP authentication.
