Plugin for GlassFish Monitoring

Prerequisites

• Download and install the Site24x7 server monitoring agent (Linux | Windows) on the server where you plan to run the plugin.
• Ensure you have Python 3 or a higher version running in your server.

Plugin installation

• Create a folder named glassfish.
• Download the glassfish.py and the glassfish.cfg files from our GitHub repository and place them in the glassfish folder.
  wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/site24x7/plugins/master/glassfish/glassfish.py && sed -i "1s|^.*|#! $(which python3)|" glassfish.py
  wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/site24x7/plugins/master/glassfish/glassfish.cfg
• To check if the plugin is working, execute the command below with appropriate arguments, and check for a valid JSON output with applicable metrics and their corresponding values.
  python3 glassfish.py --host "hostname" --port "port no" --username "username" --password "password" --ssl "false" --insecure "false"
• Add the applicable configurations in the glassfish.cfg file.
  [localhost] host="localhost"
  port="4848"
  ssl="false"
  insecure="false"
  username="None"
  password="None"

  Note for the configurations above:

  host: The IP address or domain name of the server you're trying to connect to.

  port: Admin port of the Glassfish server.

  ssl: Connect with https if "true" and http if "false".

  insecure: If this parameter is set to "true", it allows you to connect even if the certificate is invalid. This should only be used in testing environments.

  username and password: These credentials are required if any form of authentication set up for the server.

• Follow the steps in this article to learn how to run the Python script on Windows Server. You don't need to do this for Linux.
• Move the glassfish folder to the Site24x7 server monitoring plugin directory:
• For Linux: /opt/site24x7/monagent/plugins/ For Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\Site24x7\WinAgent\monitoring\plugins\

The agent will automatically execute the plugin within five minutes and display performance data in Site24x7.

• Log in to Site24x7.
• Navigate to Plugins and click the required monitor.
