An integrated management platform that simplifies the development, testing, deployment and monitoring of your JBoss Enterprise Middleware. From the JBoss Operations Network (JBoss ON) console you can inventory resources from the operating system to applications. Control and audit your application configurations to standardize deployments. Manage, monitor and tune your applications for improved visibility, performance and availability. One central console provides an integrated view and control of your JBoss middleware infrastructure.
The JBoss Operations Network (JBoss ON) is a key additional component of the JBoss Subscription for JBoss Enterprise Platforms. JBoss ON is an advanced management platform for inventorying, administering, monitoring, and updating JBoss Enterprise Middleware applications.
Each module is accessible through a separate tab within the Enterprise Management console. JBoss ON is an agent-based platform that is deployed locally. The modules are each full-featured
management products all of which are integrated together into a single console.

JBoss Operations Network Server and Management Details
JBoss ON Modules
| Inventory | Allows you to catalog IT assets spanning platforms (Linux, HP/UX, Solaris, Windows, AIX), servers (Apache Web Server, Apache Tomcat, JBoss AS, and JBoss Enterprise Platforms), and services (EJB, Message Driven Beans, data sources). Assets can be added manually or auto-discovered providing enhanced visibility over your critical business applications including their versions and dependencies. |
| Administration | Provides a single location for performing key control functions such as start, stop, and re-start. Administration functions can be applied to a single application or across an enterprise cluster. Operations can also be scheduled for later dates, on-demand or on a recurring basis. This module also allows you to roll-back to previous versions if necessary. |
| Monitoring | (Optional Module) Provides extensive monitoring capabilities for the JEMS platform along with supporting components such as operating systems (Windows, Linux, and UNIX), Apache Tomcat,Apache Web Server, and your own JEMS-based applications. The Monitoring Module continuously builds and updates a model of behavior of every measurement being collected. This allows you to define alerts relevant to the actual behavior of your infrastructure. Baselines are also utilized to identify out of band problems. This allows you to quickly identify resources within your infrastructure that require attention as well as get a historical view of what was happening at the time of the fault. |
| Software Updates | Because updates and upgrades are always a difficult challenge to manage for enterprise software deployments, JBoss is building out a Patch and Software distribution management system that will be available through JBoss ON. In many respects, this module will be similar to a Windows Update service for JBoss Enterprise Platforms software. |
