Chapter 31. Specifying and Connecting to a Fabric

In Fabric Explorer, right-click Fabrics to open the context menu, and then select Add Fabric details to open the Fabric Details wizard, as shown in Figure 31.1.

In Name, enter the name of the fabric to which you want to connect. The name you enter identifies the fabric whose location you specify in Jolokia URL, and this name will appear in Fabric Explorer.

The default Name is Local Fabric.

In Jolokia URL, enter the url, in the form http://hostname:port/jolokia/, of the fabric to which you want to connect. This URL specifies the location of a fabric registry agent, whose default port is 8181.

The default URL is http://localhost:8181/jolokia/.

In User name, enter the name used to log into the specified fabric.

This is the user name that was either specified when the fabric was created or is defined in the Red Hat JBoss Fuse installDir/etc/users.properties file. In that file, user information is specified using this format: user=password,role (for example, admin=admin,Administrator).

You can discover the user name by issuing the command JBossFuse:karaf@root>jaas:users, if the Jaas realm has been selected for the fabric.

In Password, enter the password required for User name to log into the specified fabric.

This is the password that was either specified for User name when the fabric was created or is defined in the Red Hat JBoss Fuse installDir/etc/users.properties file.

In Zookeeper Password, enter the password required for logging into the specified fabric's zookeeper registry.

This is the password that was either specified when the fabric was created or is the password of the first user defined in the Red Hat JBoss Fuse installDir/etc/users.properties file.

You can discover the Zookeeper password by issuing the command JBossFuse:karaf@root>fabric:ensemble-password.

Click OK.

The fabric's name appears in Fabric Explorer as a node beneath Fabrics.
