Red Hat Fuse 7.5

Managing Fuse applications with the Fuse Console

Fuse Documentation Team

Abstract

When you deploy a Fuse application, you can use the Fuse Console to monitor and interact with Red Hat Fuse integrations.

Preface

Red Hat Fuse provides two enterprise monitoring tools for viewing and managing Fuse integrations:

  • The Fuse Console is a web-based console that you access from a browser to monitor and manage a running Fuse container. The Fuse Console is based on Hawtio open source software (https://hawt.io/). This guide describes how to use the Fuse Console.
  • Prometheus (https://prometheus.io/docs/introduction/overview/) stores system and integration-level metrics for Fuse distributions. You can use a graphical analytics interface, such as Grafana, to view and analyze the stored historical data. To learn more about using Prometheus, see Monitoring Red Hat Integration.

The audience for this guide is Red Hat Fuse administrators. This guide assumes that you are familiar with the Red Hat Fuse platform, Apache Camel, and the processing requirements for your organization.

Chapter 1. Monitor and manage Red Hat Fuse applications on OpenShift

1.1. About the Fuse Console

The Red Hat Fuse Console is a web console based on HawtIO open source software. For a list of supported browsers, go to Supported Configurations.

The Fuse Console provides a central interface to examine and manage the details of one or more deployed Fuse containers. You can also monitor Red Hat Fuse and system resources, perform updates, and start or stop services.

The Fuse Console is available when you install Red Hat Fuse standalone or use Fuse on OpenShift. The integrations that you can view and manage in the Fuse Console depend on the plugins that are running. Possible plugins include:

  • Camel
  • JMX
  • Spring Boot
  • OSGI
  • Runtime
  • Logs

1.2. Setting up the Fuse Console on OpenShift 4.x

On OpenShift 4.x, setting up the Fuse Console involves securing, installing, and deploying it.

First, you must generate a client certificate so that you can secure the Fuse Console as described in Section 1.2.1, “Generating a certificate to secure the Fuse Console on OpenShift 4.x”.

After you generate the client certificate, you can use the command line and one of the Fuse Console templates to install and deploy the Fuse Console so that it has access to Fuse applications in multiple namespaces on the OpenShift cluster or in a specific namespace.

Note
  • User management for the Fuse Console is handled by OpenShift.
  • Role-based access control (for users accessing the Fuse Console after it is deployed) is not yet available for Fuse on OpenShift.

1.2.1. Generating a certificate to secure the Fuse Console on OpenShift 4.x

On OpenShift 4.x, to keep the connection between the Fuse Console proxy and the Jolokia agent secure, you must generate a client certificate before you deploy the Fuse Console. You must use the service signing certificate authority private key to sign the client certificate.

Important

You must generate and sign a separate client certificate for each OpenShift cluster. Do not use the same certificate for more than one cluster.

Prerequisites

  • You have cluster admin access to the OpenShift cluster.
  • If you are generating certificates for more than one OpenShift cluster and you previously generated a certificate for a different cluster in the current directory, do one of the following to ensure that you generate a different certificate for the current cluster:

    • Delete the existing certificate files (for example, ca.crt, ca.key, and ca.srl) from the current directory.
    • Change to a different working directory. For example, if your current working directory is named cluster1, create a new cluster2 directory and change your working directory to it:

      mkdir ../cluster2

      cd ../cluster2

Procedure

  1. Login to OpenShift as a user with cluster admin access:

    oc login -u <user_with_cluster_admin_role>
  2. Retrieve the service signing certificate authority keys, by executing the following commands:

    • To retrieve the certificate:

      oc get secrets/signing-key -n openshift-service-ca -o "jsonpath={.data['tls\.crt']}" | base64 --decode > ca.crt
    • To retrieve the private key:

      oc get secrets/signing-key -n openshift-service-ca -o "jsonpath={.data['tls\.key']}" | base64 --decode > ca.key
  3. Generate the client certificate, as documented in Kubernetes certificates administration, using either easyrsa, openssl, or cfssl.

    Here are the example commands using openssl:

    1. Generate the private key:

      openssl genrsa -out server.key 2048
    2. Write the CSR config file.

      cat <<EOT >> csr.conf
        [ req ]
        default_bits = 2048
        prompt = no
        default_md = sha256
        distinguished_name = dn
      
        [ dn ]
        CN = fuse-console.fuse.svc
      
        [ v3_ext ]
        authorityKeyIdentifier=keyid,issuer:always
        keyUsage=keyEncipherment,dataEncipherment,digitalSignature
        extendedKeyUsage=serverAuth,clientAuth
      EOT
    3. Generate the CSR:

      openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr -config csr.conf
    4. Issue the signed certificate:

      openssl x509 -req -in server.csr -CA ca.crt -CAkey ca.key -CAcreateserial -out server.crt -days 10000 -extensions v3_ext -extfile csr.conf

Next steps

You need this certificate to create the secret for the Fuse Console as described in Installing and deploying the Fuse Console on OpenShift 4.x by using the command line.

1.2.2. Installing and deploying the Fuse Console on OpenShift 4.x by using the command line

On OpenShift 4.x, you can choose one of these deployment options to install and deploy the Fuse Console from the command line:

  • cluster - The Fuse Console can discover and connect to Fuse applications deployed across multiple namespaces (projects) on the OpenShift cluster. To deploy this template, you must have the administrator role for the OpenShift cluster.
  • namespace - The Fuse Console has access to a specific OpenShift project (namespace). To deploy this template, you must have the administrator role for the OpenShift project.

To view a list of the parameters for the Fuse Console templates, run the following OpenShift command:

oc process --parameters -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jboss-fuse/application-templates/application-templates-2.1.fuse-750056-redhat-00006/fuse-console-namespace-os4.json

Prerequisites

Procedure

  1. Verify that the Fuse Console image stream is installed by using the following command to retrieve a list of all templates:

    oc get template -n openshift
  2. Optionally, if you want to update the already installed image stream with new release tags, use the following command to import the Fuse Console image to the openshift namespace:

    oc import-image fuse7/fuse7-console:1.5 --from=registry.redhat.io/fuse7/fuse-console:1.5 --confirm -n openshift
  3. Download one of the following Fuse Console templates from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jboss-fuse/application-templates/application-templates-2.1.fuse-750056-redhat-00006 in raw format to a local directory of your choice (for example, mytemp).

    • Cluster template: fuse-console-cluster-os4.json
    • Namespace template: fuse-console-namespace-os4.json
  4. For the namespace template, skip to the next step.

    For the cluster template, in an editor of your choice, edit your local copy of the fuse-console-cluster-os4.json file to add the "grantMethod": "auto" attribute to the OAuthClient section:

    {
          "kind": "OAuthClient",
          "apiVersion": "v1",
          "metadata": {
            "name": "${APP_NAME}-oauth-client"
          },
          "grantMethod": "auto",
          "redirectURIs": [
            "https://${ROUTE_HOSTNAME}"
          ]
    }
  5. Obtain the Fuse Console APP_NAME value by running the following command (where mytemp is the path to the local directory that contains the Fuse Console template):

    • For the cluster template:

      oc process --parameters -f mytemp/fuse-console-cluster-os4.json
    • For the namespace template:

      oc process --parameters -f mytemp/fuse-console-namespace-os4.json
  6. From the certificate that you generated in Securing the Fuse Console on OpenShift 4.x, create the secret and mount it in the Fuse Console by using the following command (where APP_NAME is the name of the Fuse Console application.

    oc create secret tls APP_NAME-tls-proxying --cert server.crt --key server.key
  7. Create a new application based on your local copy of the Fuse Console template by running the following command (where myproject is the name of your OpenShift project, mytemp is the path to the local directory that contains the Fuse Console template, and myhost is the hostname to access the Fuse Console:

    • For the cluster template:

      oc new-app -n myproject -f mytemp/fuse-console-cluster-os4.json -p ROUTE_HOSTNAME=myhost
    • For the namespace template:

      oc new-app -n myproject -f mytemp/fuse-console-namespace-os4.json
  8. Obtain the status and the URL of your Fuse Console deployment by running this command:

    oc status
  9. To access the Fuse Console from a browser, use the URL that is returned in Step 6 (for example, https://fuse-console.192.168.64.12.nip.io).

1.2.3. Upgrading the Fuse Console on OpenShift 4.x

Red Hat OpenShift 4.x handles updates to operators, including the Red Hat Fuse operators. For more information see the Operators OpenShift documentation.

In turn, operator updates can trigger application upgrades. How an application upgrade occur differs according to how the application is configured.

For Fuse Console applications, you can specify when to trigger upgrades to those applications by editing the .spec.version field of the application custom resource definition.

Prerequisite

  • You have OpenShift cluster admin permissions.

Procedure

To upgrade a Fuse Console application:

  1. In a terminal window, use the following command to change the .spec.version field of the application custom resource definition:

    oc patch <project-name> <custom-resource-name> --type='merge' -p '{"spec":{"version":"1.7.1"}}'

    For example:

    oc patch myproject example-fuseconsole --type='merge' -p '{"spec":{"version":"1.7.1"}}'
  2. Check that the application’s status has updated:

     oc get myproject

    The response shows information about the application, including the version number:

    NAME                  AGE   URL                                        IMAGE
    example-fuseconsole   1m    https://fuseconsole.192.168.64.38.nip.io   docker.io/fuseconsole/online:1.7.1

    When you change the value of the .spec.version field, OpenShift automatically redeploys the application.

  3. To check the status of the redeployment that is triggered by the version change:

    oc rollout status deployment.v1.apps/example-fuseconsole

    A successful deployment shows this response:

    deployment "example-fuseconsole" successfully rolled out

1.3. Set up the Fuse Console on OpenShift 3.11

On OpenShift 3.11, you can set up the Fuse Console in two ways:

  • By adding the centralized Fuse Console catalog item to a project so that you can monitor all the running Fuse containers in the project.
  • From a specific pod so that you can monitor that single running Fuse container.

You can deploy the Fuse Console either from the OpenShift Console or from the command line.

Prerequisites

  • Install the Fuse on OpenShift image streams and the templates for the Fuse Console as described in Fuse on OpenShift Guide.
  • For cluster mode on OpenShift 3.11, you need the cluster admin role and the cluster mode template. Run the following command:

    oc adm policy add-cluster-role-to-user cluster-admin system:serviceaccount:openshift-infra:template-instance-controller
Note
  • The cluster mode template is only available, by default, on the latest version of the OpenShift Container Platform. It is not provided with the OpenShift Online default catalog.
  • The Fuse Console templates configure end-to-end encryption by default so that your Fuse Console requests are secured end-to-end, from the browser to the in-cluster services.
  • User management for the Fuse Console is handled by OpenShift.
  • Role-based access control (for users accessing the Fuse Console after it is deployed) is not yet available for Fuse on OpenShift.

Section 1.3.1, “Deploying the Fuse Console from the OpenShift 3.11 Console”

Section 1.3.2, “Monitoring a single Fuse pod from the Fuse Console on OpenShift 3.11”

Section 1.3.3, “Deploying the Fuse Console from the command line”

1.3.1. Deploying the Fuse Console from the OpenShift 3.11 Console

To deploy the Fuse Console on your OpenShift cluster from the OpenShift 3.11 Console, follow these steps.

Note

If the Red Hat Fuse Console items do not appear as the search result, or if the items that appear are not the latest version, you can install the Fuse Console templates manually as described in the "Prepare the OpenShift server" section of the Fuse on OpenShift Guide.

  1. Click one of the Red Hat Fuse Console items:

    • Red Hat Fuse 7.x Console - This version of the Fuse Console discovers and connects to Fuse applications deployed in the current OpenShift project.
    • Red Hat Fuse 7.x Console (cluster) - This version of the Fuse Console can discover and connect to Fuse applications deployed across multiple projects on the OpenShift cluster.
  2. In the Red Hat Fuse Console wizard, click Next. The Configuration page of the wizard opens.

    Optionally, you can change the default values of the configuration parameters.

    1. Click Create.

      The Results page of the wizard indicates that the Red Hat Fuse Console has been created.

    2. Click the Continue to the project overview link to verify that the Fuse Console application is added to the project.
    3. To open the Fuse Console, click the provided URL link and then log in.

      An Authorize Access page opens in the browser listing the required permissions.

    4. Click Allow selected permissions.

      The Fuse Console opens in the browser and shows the Fuse pods running in the project.

    5. Click Connect for the application that you want to view.

      A new browser window opens showing the application in the Fuse Console.

1.3.2. Monitoring a single Fuse pod from the Fuse Console on OpenShift 3.11

You can open the Fuse Console for a Fuse pod running on OpenShift 3.11:

  1. From the Applications → Pods view in your OpenShift project, click on the pod name to view the details of the running Fuse pod. On the right-hand side of this page, you see a summary of the container template:

    Container Template View

  2. From this view, click on the Open Java Console link to open the Fuse Console.

    Fuse Console view

    Note

    In order to configure OpenShift to display a link to Fuse Console in the pod view, the pod running a Fuse on OpenShift image must declare a TCP port within a name attribute set to jolokia:

    {
      "kind": "Pod",
      [...]
      "spec": {
        "containers": [
          {
            [...]
            "ports": [
              {
                "name": "jolokia",
                "containerPort": 8778,
                "protocol": "TCP"
              }

1.3.3. Deploying the Fuse Console from the command line

Table 1.1, “Fuse Console templates” describes the OpenShift 3.1 templates that you can use to deploy the Fuse Console from the command line, depending on the type of Fuse application deployment.

Table 1.1. Fuse Console templates
TypeDescription

fis-console-cluster-template.json

The Fuse Console can discover and connect to Fuse applications deployed across multiple namespaces or projects. To deploy this template, you must have the OpenShift cluster-admin role.

fis-console-namespace-template.json

This template restricts the Fuse Console access to the current OpenShift project (namespace), and as such acts as a single tenant deployment. To deploy this template, you must have the admin role for the current OpenShift project.

Optionally, you can view a list of the parameters for all of the templates by running this command:

oc process --parameters -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jboss-fuse/application-templates/application-templates-2.1.fuse-750056-redhat-00006/fis-console-namespace-template.json

Procedure

To deploy the Fuse Console from the command line:

  1. Create a new application based on a Fuse Console template by running one of the following commands (where myproject is the name of your project):

    • For the Fuse Console cluster template, where myhost is the hostname to access the Fuse Console:

      oc new-app -n myproject -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jboss-fuse/application-templates/application-templates-2.1.fuse-750056-redhat-00006/fis-console-cluster-template.json -p ROUTE_HOSTNAME=myhost
    • For the Fuse Console namespace template:

      oc new-app -n myproject -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jboss-fuse/application-templates/application-templates-2.1.fuse-750056-redhat-00006/fis-console-namespace-template.json
      Note

      You can omit the route_hostname parameter for the namespace template because OpenShift automatically generates one.

  2. Obtain the status and the URL of your Fuse Console deployment by running this command:

    oc status
  3. To access the Fuse Console from a browser, use the provided URL (for example, https://fuse-console.192.168.64.12.nip.io).

    mf preferences

  2. Increase the value of the Maximum collection size option (the default is 50,000).
  3. Click Close.

Chapter 2. Monitor and manage Red Hat Fuse applications on Spring Boot standalone

2.1. About the Fuse Console

The Red Hat Fuse Console is a web console based on HawtIO open source software. For a list of supported browsers, go to Supported Configurations.

The Fuse Console provides a central interface to examine and manage the details of one or more deployed Fuse containers. You can also monitor Red Hat Fuse and system resources, perform updates, and start or stop services.

The Fuse Console is available when you install Red Hat Fuse standalone or use Fuse on OpenShift. The integrations that you can view and manage in the Fuse Console depend on the plugins that are running. Possible plugins include:

  • Camel
  • JMX
  • Spring Boot
  • OSGI
  • Runtime
  • Logs

2.2. Accessing the Fuse Console for Spring Boot 2.x

You can access the Fuse Console for a standalone Fuse Spring Boot 2.x distribution.

Procedure

  1. Add the following dependency to your Fuse application’s pom.xml file:

    <dependency>
      <groupId>io.hawt</groupId>
      <artifactId>hawtio-springboot</artifactId>
    </dependency>

    Note that you do not need to specify the exact version because it is provided by the Maven BOM.

  2. Edit the src/main/resources/application.properties file:

    1. Set the following properties:

      • management.endpoints.web.exposure.include=hawtio,jolokia
      • hawtio.authenticationEnabled=false
      • management.endpoint.hawtio.enabled=true
      • management.endpoint.jolokia.enabled=true
    2. Optionally, set the management.endpoints.web.base-path property.

      By default for Spring Boot 2.x, the Fuse Console’s URL includes the context path (/actuator) of the management endpoints. For example:

      http://localhost:10001/actuator/hawtio/index.html

      To change this default URL, for example to specify the same format as the default Spring Boot 1.x URL (http://localhost:10001/hawtio), set the management.endpoints.web.base-path property as shown here:

      management.endpoints.web.base-path=/

      Your application.properties settings should look similar to the following example:

      # ports
      
      server.port=8080
      
      management.server.port=10001
      
      # enable management endpoints for healthchecks and hawtio
      
      management.endpoints.enabled-by-default = false
      
      management.endpoint.hawtio.enabled = true
      
      management.endpoint.jolokia.enabled = true
      
      management.endpoints.health.enabled = true
      
      management.health.defaults.enabled=false
      
      camel.health.enabled=false
      
      camel.health.indicator.enabled=true
      
      management.endpoints.web.exposure.include=hawtio,jolokia
      
      hawtio.authenticationEnabled=false
      
      # change the URL so that it does not include the actuator folder
      
      management.endpoints.web.base-path=/
      Note

      By default, authentication for the Fuse Console on Spring Boot is disabled. Optionally, you can enable authentication by writing code specific to your Fuse Console distribution. Here is an example that you can use for guidance:

      https://github.com/hawtio/hawtio/tree/master/examples/springboot-authentication

  3. Run the Fuse application:

    mvn spring-boot:run
  4. To determine the port number for the Fuse Console URL, obtain the management.server.port value by looking at the value set in the src/main/resources/application.properties file. For example:

    management.server.port   = 10001
  5. To open the Fuse Console in a browser, use the following URL syntax where nnnnn is the value of the management.server.port property:

    http://localhost:nnnnn/actuator/hawtio

    For example, if the management.server.port property value is 10001 and you have not set the management.endpoints.web.base-path property then the URL is:

    http://localhost:10001/actuator/hawtio/index.html

2.3. Accessing the Fuse Console for Spring Boot 1.x

You can access the Fuse Console for a standalone Fuse Spring Boot 1.x distribution.

Procedure

  1. Add the following dependency to your Fuse application’s pom.xml file:

    <dependency>
      <groupId>io.hawt</groupId>
      <artifactId>hawtio-springboot-1</artifactId>
    </dependency>

    Note that you do not need to specify the exact version because it is provided by the Maven BOM.

  2. Edit the src/main/resources/application.properties file:

    1. Set the following properties to false:

      • endpoints.jolokia.sensitive
      • endpoints.hawtio.sensitive
      • hawtio.authenticationEnabled
    2. Set the following properties to true:

      • endpoints.hawtio.enabled
      • endpoints.jolokia.enabled

        Your application.properties settings should look similar to the following example:

        # ports
        
        server.port=8080
        
        management.port=10001
        
        
        # enable management endpoints for healthchecks and hawtio
        
        endpoints.enabled = false
        
        endpoints.hawtio.enabled = true
        
        endpoints.jolokia.enabled = true
        
        endpoints.health.enabled = true
        
        management.health.defaults.enabled=false
        
        camel.health.enabled=false
        
        camel.health.indicator.enabled=true
        
        endpoints.jolokia.sensitive=false
        
        endpoints.hawtio.sensitive=false
        
        hawtio.authenticationEnabled=false
        Note

        By default, authentication for the Fuse Console on Spring Boot is disabled. Optionally, you can enable authentication by writing code specific to your Fuse Console distribution. Here is an example that you can use for guidance:

        https://github.com/hawtio/hawtio/tree/master/examples/springboot-authentication

  3. Run the Fuse application:

    mvn spring-boot:run
  4. To determine the port number for the Fuse Console URL, obtain the management.port value by looking at the value set in the src/main/resources/application.properties file. For example:

    management.port   = 10001
  5. To open the Fuse Console in a browser, use the following URL syntax where nnnnn is the value of the management.port property:

    http://localhost:nnnnn/hawtio/index.html

    For example: http://localhost:10001/hawtio/index.html

2.4. Securing the Fuse Console

To secure the Fuse Console on Spring Boot, you can:

  • Set HTTPS as the required protocol

    You can use the hawtio.http.strictTransportSecurity property to require web browsers to use the secure HTTPS protocol to access the Fuse Console. This property specifies that web browsers that try to use HTTP to access the Fuse Console must automatically convert the request to use HTTPS.

  • Use public keys to secure responses

    You can use the hawtio.http.publicKeyPins property to secure the HTTPS protocol by telling the web browser to associate a specific cryptographic public key with the Fuse Console to decrease the risk of “man-in-the-middle” attacks with forged certificates.

Procedure

Set the hawtio.http.strictTransportSecurity and hawtio.http.publicKeyPins properties as shown in the following example

public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.setProperty("hawtio.http.strictTransportSecurity", "max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload");
    System.setProperty("hawtio.http.publicKeyPins", "pin-sha256=cUPcTAZWKaASuYWhhneDttWpY3oBAkE3h2+soZS7sWs"; max-age=5184000; includeSubDomains");
    SpringApplication.run(YourSpringBootApplication.class, args);
}

Additional resources

  • For a description of the hawtio.http.strictTransportSecurity property’s syntax, see the description page for the HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) response header.
  • For a description of the hawtio.http.publicKeyPins property’s syntax, including instructions on how to extract the Base64 encoded public key, see the description page for the HTTP Public Key Pinning response header.

2.5. Ensuring that data displays correctly in the Fuse Console

If the display of the queues and connections in the Fuse Console is missing queues, missing connections, or displaying inconsistent icons, adjust the Jolokia collection size parameter that specifies the maximum number of elements in an array that Jolokia marshals in a response.

Procedure

  1. In the upper right corner of the Fuse Console, click the user icon and then click Preferences.

    mf preferences

  2. Increase the value of the Maximum collection size option (the default is 50,000).
  3. Click Close.

2.6. Connecting to remote Fuse applications

The Fuse Console uses Jolokia, an agent-based approach to Java Management Extensions (JMX) that requires extra software (an agent) installed on the client. By default, Red Hat Fuse includes a jolokia agent.

With standalone Fuse Console distributions, you can connect to remote integrations that already have a jolokia agent (https://jolokia.org/) running inside them. If the process that you want to connect to does not have a jolokia agent inside, refer to the jolokia documentation (http://jolokia.org/agent.html).

Procedure

The Fuse Console’s proxy servlet uses whitelist host protection, with which by default the Fuse Console can only connect to localhost. If you want to connect the Fuse Console to other remote Fuse instances, you need to configure the hawtio.proxyWhitelist system property in the main() method of your Spring Boot application:

System.setProperty("hawtio.proxyWhitelist", "localhost, 127.0.0.1, myhost1, myhost2, myhost3");

2.6.1. Connecting to a remote Jolokia agent

Before you begin, you need to know the connection details (host name, port, and path) of the remote Jolokia agent.

The default connection URLs for the Jolokia agent on Spring Boot is http://<host>:8080/jolokia

As a system administrator, you can change this default.

Typically, the URL to remotely connect to a Jolokia agent is the URL to open the Fuse Console plus /jolokia. For example, if the URL to open the Fuse Console is http://<host>:1234/hawtio, then the URL to remotely connect to it would probably be http://<host>:1234/hawtio/jolokia.

To connect to a remote Jolokia instance so that you can examine its JVM:

  1. Click the Connect tab.
  2. Click the Remote tab, and then Add connection.
  3. Type the Name, Scheme (HTTP or HTTPS), and the hostname.
  4. Click Test Connection.
  5. Click Add.
Note

The Fuse Console automatically probes the local network interfaces other than localhost and 127.0.0.1 and adds them to the whitelist. Hence, you do not need to manually register the local machine’s addresses to the whitelist.

2.6.2. Setting data moving preferences

You can change the following Jolokia preferences, for example, if you want to more frequently refresh data that displays in the Fuse Console. Note that increasing the frequency of data updates impacts networking traffic and increases the number of requests made to the server.

  • Update rate - The period between polls to Jolokia to fetch JMX data (the default is 5 seconds).
  • Maximum depth - The number of levels that Jolokia will marshal an object to JSON on the server side before returning (the default is 7).
  • Maximum collection size - The maximum number of elements in an array that Jolokia marshals in a response (the default is 50,000).

To change the values of these settings:

  1. In the upper right of the Fuse Console, click the user icon and then click Preferences.

    mf preferences

  2. Edit the options and then click Close.

2.6.3. Viewing JVM runtime information

  6. Click Stop debugging when you are done. All breakpoints are cleared.

2.8. Viewing and managing JMX domains and MBeans

Java Management Extensions (JMX) is a Java technology that allows you to manage resources (services, devices, and applications) dynamically at runtime. The resources are represented by objects called MBeans (for Managed Bean). You can manage and monitor resources as soon as they are created, implemented, or installed.

With the JMX plugin on the Fuse Console, you can view and manage JMX domains and MBeans. You can view MBean attributes, run commands, and create charts that show statistics for the MBeans.

The JMX tab provides a tree view of the active JMX domains and MBeans organized in folders. You can view details and execute commands on the MBeans.

Procedure

  1. To view and edit MBean attributes:

    1. In the tree view, select an MBean.
    2. Click the Attributes tab.
    3. Click an attribute to see its details.

    2. Click the Chart tab.

2.9. Viewing diagnostics

Use the Diagnostics tab to view diagnostic information about the JVM via the JVM DiagnosticCommand and HotspotDiangostic interfaces.

Note

The functionality is similar to the Diagnostic Commands view in Java Mission Control (jmc) or the command line tool jcmd. The plugin will provide corresponding jcmd commands in some scenarios.

Procedure

  1. To retrieve the number of instances of loaded classes and the amount of bytes they take up, click Class Histogram. If the operation is repeated, the tab shows the difference since last run.
  2. To view the JVM diagnostic flag setting, click the JVM flags.
  3. For a running JVM, you can also modify the flag settings.

Additional resources

The supported JVM depends on the platform, for more information go to one of the following sources:

2.10. Viewing threads

You can view and monitor the state of threads.

Procedure

  2. To sort the list by increasing ID, click the ID column label.
  3. Optionally, filter the list by thread state (for example, Blocked) or by thread name.
  4. To drill down to detailed information for a specific thread, such as the lock class name and full stack trace for that thread, in the Actions column, click More.

Chapter 3. Monitor and manage Red Hat Fuse applications on Karaf standalone

3.1. About the Fuse Console

The Red Hat Fuse Console is a web console based on HawtIO open source software. For a list of supported browsers, go to Supported Configurations.

The Fuse Console provides a central interface to examine and manage the details of one or more deployed Fuse containers. You can also monitor Red Hat Fuse and system resources, perform updates, and start or stop services.

The Fuse Console is available when you install Red Hat Fuse standalone or use Fuse on OpenShift. The integrations that you can view and manage in the Fuse Console depend on the plugins that are running. Possible plugins include:

  • Camel
  • JMX
  • Spring Boot
  • OSGI
  • Runtime
  • Logs

3.2. Accessing the Fuse Console

To access the Fuse Console for Apache Karaf standalone, follow these steps.

Prerequisite

Install Fuse on the Karaf container. For step-by-step instructions, see Installing on Apache Karaf.

Procedure

  1. In the command line, navigate to the directory in which you installed Red Hat Fuse and run the following command to start Fuse standalone:

    ./bin/fuse

    The Karaf console starts and shows version information, the default Fuse Console URL, and a list of common commands.

  2. In a browser, type the URL to connect to the Fuse Console. For example: http://localhost:8181/hawtio
  3. In the login page, type your user name and password and then click Log In.

By default, the Fuse Console shows the Home page. The left navigation tabs indicate the running plugins.

3.3. Securing the Fuse Console

To secure the Fuse Console on Apache Karaf, you can:

  • Set HTTPS as the required protocol

    You can use the hawtio.http.strictTransportSecurity property to require web browsers to use the secure HTTPS protocol to access the Fuse Console. This property specifies that web browsers that try to use HTTP to access the Fuse Console must automatically convert the request to use HTTPS.

  • Use public keys to secure responses

    You can use the hawtio.http.publicKeyPins property to secure the HTTPS protocol by telling the web browser to associate a specific cryptographic public key with the Fuse Console to decrease the risk of “man-in-the-middle” attacks with forged certificates.

  • Enable SSL/TLS security

    SSL/TLS security is not enabled by default for the Fuse Console. It is recommended that you enable SSL/TLS security on the Fuse Console to protect username/password credentials from snooping.

  • Implement Red Hat Single Sign On
  • Control user access

    The operations that an authenticated user is allowed to perform depend on the role (or roles) assigned to that user, as listed in Table 3.1, “Role-based access on Karaf standalone”.

Procedure

  1. To set HTTPS as the required protocol, set the hawtio.http.strictTransportSecurity property in the $KARAF_HOME/etc/system.properties file as shown in the following example:

    hawtio.http.strictTransportSecurity = max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload
  2. To use public keys to secure responses, set the hawtio.http.publicKeyPins property in the $KARAF_HOME/etc/system.properties file as shown in the following example:

    hawtio.http.publicKeyPins = pin-sha256="cUPcTAZWKaASuYWhhneDttWpY3oBAkE3h2+soZS7sWs"; max-age=5184000; includeSubDomains
  3. For detailed instructions on how to enable SSL/TLS security, see the "Enabling SSL/TLS for Undertow in an Apache Karaf container" section in the Apache Karaf Security Guide.
  4. For information on how to secure the Fuse Console with Red Hat Single Sign-On, see the section on securing the Hawtio administration console in the Red Hat Single Sign-on Securing Applications and Services Guide.
  5. To ensure that a user has the necessary user role authorization to perform the Fuse Console operations that the user needs to perform, follow these steps to set a user role:

    1. Open the Red Hat Fuse etc/users.properties file in an editor.
    2. Add an entry for the user name, password, and role.

      For example, the following entry in the etc/users.properties file defines the admin user and grants the admin role.

      admin = secretpass,admin
    3. Save the file.

Additional resources

  • For a description of the hawtio.http.strictTransportSecurity property’s syntax, see the description page for the HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) response header.
  • For a description of the hawtio.http.publicKeyPins property’s syntax, including instructions on how to extract the Base64 encoded public key, see the description page for the HTTP Public Key Pinning response header.

3.4. Role-based access reference

The operations that an authenticated user is allowed to perform depend on the role (or roles) assigned to that user, as listed in Table 3.1, “Role-based access on Karaf standalone”.

3.5. Changing the Fuse Console branding

You can change the branding name and image for the Fuse Console.

Procedure

Edit the following files:

  • The hawtconfig.json file in the Fuse Console’s war file (karaf-install-dir/system/io/hawt/hawtio-war/version/hawtio-war-version.war):

    {
      "branding": {
        "appName": "Hawtio Management Console",
        "appLogoUrl": "img/hawtio-logo.svg",
        "companyLogoUrl": "img/hawtio-logo.svg"
      },
      "about": {
        "title": "Hawtio Management Console",
        "productInfo": [],
        "additionalInfo": "",
        "copyright": "",
        "imgSrc": "img/hawtio-logo.svg"
      },
      "disabledRoutes": []
    }
  • The war file’s style sheet (.css) file to modify other aspects of the Fuse Console UI.
Note

If you have already run the Fuse Console in a web browser, the branding is stored in the browser’s local storage. To use new branding settings, you must clear the browser’s local storage.

3.6. Ensuring that data displays correctly in the Fuse Console

If the display of the queues and connections in the Fuse Console is missing queues, missing connections, or displaying inconsistent icons, adjust the Jolokia collection size parameter that specifies the maximum number of elements in an array that Jolokia marshals in a response.

Procedure

  1. In the upper right corner of the Fuse Console, click the user icon and then click Preferences.

    mf preferences

  2. Increase the value of the Maximum collection size option (the default is 50,000).
  3. Click Close.

3.7. Disabling the Fuse Console

You can disable the Fuse Console on Karaf so that it becomes inaccessible to all users without affecting any other component.

Procedure

  1. To determine the hawtio-web bundle ID, use the following command to list the Fuse bundles that the Fuse Console uses:

    osgi:list | grep hawtio

  2. To stop the bundle, use the osgi:stop command. For example, if the hawtio :: Web console bundle has an ID of 246, type this command:

    osgi:stop 246

The bundle goes into the resolved state and you can no longer access the Fuse Console.

Additional resources

For more information about managing bundles, see the "Lifecycle Management" chapter of Deploying into Apache Karaf.

3.8. Connecting to remote Fuse applications

The Fuse Console uses Jolokia, an agent-based approach to Java Management Extensions (JMX) that requires extra software (an agent) installed on the client. By default, Red Hat Fuse includes a jolokia agent.

With standalone Fuse Console distributions, you can connect to remote integrations that already have a jolokia agent (https://jolokia.org/) running inside them. If the process that you want to connect to does not have a jolokia agent inside, refer to the jolokia documentation (http://jolokia.org/agent.html).

3.8.1. Unlocking the Fuse Console

By default, Jolokia for Fuse 7 standalone on Apache Karaf is locked and the Fuse Console is not accessible remotely.

To unlock the Fuse Console for a hostname or IP address other than locahost or 127.0.0.1, follow these steps:

  1. Open the $KARAF_HOME/etc/jolokia-access.xml file in an editor.
  2. Register the hostnames or IP addresses for the Fuse integrations that you want to access with the Fuse console by adding them to the <cors> section.

    For example, to access hostname 0.0.0.3 from the Fuse Console, add the

    *<allow-origin>http://0.0.0.3:*</allow-origin>*

    line as shown:

    <!--
    
      Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) restrictions
    
      By default, only CORS access within localhost is allowed for maximum security.
    
      You can add trusted hostnames in the <cors> section to unlock CORS access from them.
    
      -->
    
      <cors>
    
        <!-- Allow cross origin access only within localhost -->
    
        <allow-origin>http*://localhost:*</allow-origin>
    
        <allow-origin>http*://127.0.0.1:*</allow-origin>
    
        <allow-origin>http://0.0.0.3:*</allow-origin>
    
        <!-- Whitelist the hostname patterns as <allow-origin> -->
    
        <!--
    
        <allow-origin>http*://*.example.com</allow-origin>
    
        <allow-origin>http*://*.example.com:*</allow-origin>
    
        -->
    
        <!-- Check for the proper origin on the server side to protect against CSRF -->
    
        <strict-checking />
    
      </cors>
  3. Save the file.

3.8.2. Restricting remote access

Optionally, you can restrict remote access to the Fuse Console for specific hosts and IP addresses.

You can grant overall access based on the IP address of an HTTP client. To specify these restrictions:

In the jolokia-access.xml file, add or edit a <remote> section that contains one or more <host> elements. For the <host> element, you can specify an IP address, a host name, or a netmask given in CIDR format (for example, 10.0.0.0/16 for all clients coming from the 10.0 network).

The following example allows access from localhost and all clients whose IP addresses start with 10.0. For all other IP addresses, access is denied.

<remote>
  <host>localhost</host>
  <host>10.0.0.0/16</host>
</remote>

For more details, see the Jolokia security documentation (https://jolokia.org/reference/html/security.html).

3.8.3. Allowing connections to remote Fuse instances

The Fuse Console’s proxy servlet uses whitelist host protection, with which by default the Fuse Console can only connect to localhost. If you want to connect the Fuse Console to other remote Fuse instances, you need to configure the whitelist as follows:

For Apache Karaf, make the following configuration changes in etc/system.properties file:

+

hawtio.proxyWhitelist = localhost, 127.0.0.1, myhost1, myhost2, myhost3

3.8.4. Connecting to a remote Jolokia agent

Before you begin, you need to know the connection details (host name, port, and path) of the remote Jolokia agent.

The default connection URL for the Jolokia agent for Fuse on Apache Karaf is http://<host>:8181/hawtio/jolokia.

As a system administrator, you can change this default.

Typically, the URL to remotely connect to a Jolokia agent is the URL to open the Fuse Console plus /jolokia. For example, if the URL to open the Fuse Console is http://<host>:1234/hawtio, then the URL to remotely connect to it would probably be http://<host>:1234/hawtio/jolokia.

To connect to a remote Jolokia instance so that you can examine its JVM:

  1. Click the Connect tab.
  2. Click the Remote tab, and then Add connection.
  3. Type the Name, Scheme (HTTP or HTTPS), and the hostname.
  4. Click Test Connection.
  5. Click Add.
Note

The Fuse Console automatically probes the local network interfaces other than localhost and 127.0.0.1 and adds them to the whitelist. Hence, you do not need to manually register the local machine’s addresses to the whitelist.

3.8.5. Setting data moving preferences

You can change the following Jolokia preferences, for example, if you want to more frequently refresh data that displays in the Fuse Console. Note that increasing the frequency of data updates impacts networking traffic and increases the number of requests made to the server.

  • Update rate - The period between polls to Jolokia to fetch JMX data (the default is 5 seconds).
  • Maximum depth - The number of levels that Jolokia will marshal an object to JSON on the server side before returning (the default is 7).
  • Maximum collection size - The maximum number of elements in an array that Jolokia marshals in a response (the default is 50,000).

To change the values of these settings:

  1. In the upper right of the Fuse Console, click the user icon and then click Preferences.

    mf preferences

  2. Edit the options and then click Close.

Chapter 4. Monitor and manage Red Hat Fuse applications on EAP standalone

4.1. About the Fuse Console

The Red Hat Fuse Console is a web console based on HawtIO open source software. For a list of supported browsers, go to Supported Configurations.

The Fuse Console provides a central interface to examine and manage the details of one or more deployed Fuse containers. You can also monitor Red Hat Fuse and system resources, perform updates, and start or stop services.

The Fuse Console is available when you install Red Hat Fuse standalone or use Fuse on OpenShift. The integrations that you can view and manage in the Fuse Console depend on the plugins that are running. Possible plugins include:

  • Camel
  • JMX
  • Spring Boot
  • OSGI
  • Runtime
  • Logs

4.2. Accessing the Fuse Console

Follow these steps to access the Fuse Console for Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform.

Prerequisite

You must install Fuse on the JBoss EAP container. For step-by-step instructions, see Installing on JBoss EAP.

Procedure

To access the Fuse Console for a standalone JBoss EAP distribution:

  1. Start Red Hat Fuse standalone with the following command:

    On Linux/Mac OS: ./bin/standalone.sh

    On Windows: ./bin/standalone.bat

  2. In a web browser, enter the URL to connect to the Fuse Console. For example: http://localhost:8080/hawtio
  3. In the login page, enter your user name and password and then click Log In.

By default, the Fuse Console shows the Home page. The left navigation tabs indicate the running plugins.

Note

If the main Fuse Console page takes a long time to display in the browser, you might need to reduce the number and the size of the log files. You can use the periodic-size-rotating-file-handler to rotate the file when it reaches a maximum size (rotate-size) and maintains a number of files (max-backup-index). For details on how to use this handler, see the Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform product documentation.

4.3. Securing the Fuse Console

To secure the Fuse Console on EAP, you can:

  • Set HTTPS as the required protocol

    You can use the hawtio.http.strictTransportSecurity property to require web browsers to use the secure HTTPS protocol to access the Fuse Console. This property specifies that web browsers that try to use HTTP to access the Fuse Console must automatically convert the request to use HTTPS.

  • Use public keys to secure responses

    You can use the hawtio.http.publicKeyPins property to secure the HTTPS protocol by telling the web browser to associate a specific cryptographic public key with the Fuse Console to decrease the risk of “man-in-the-middle” attacks with forged certificates.

Procedure

Set the hawtio.http.strictTransportSecurity and the hawtio.http.publicKeyPins properties in the system-properties section of the $EAP_HOME/standalone/configuration/standalone*.xml file as shown in the following example:

+

<property name="hawtio.http.strictTransportSecurity" value="max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"/>
<property name="hawtio.http.publicKeyPins" value="pin-sha256=cUPcTAZWKaASuYWhhneDttWpY3oBAkE3h2+soZS7sWs"; max-age=5184000; includeSubDomains"/>

Additional resources

  • For a description of the hawtio.http.strictTransportSecurity property’s syntax, see the description page for the HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) response header.
  • For a description of the hawtio.http.publicKeyPins property’s syntax, including instructions on how to extract the Base64 encoded public key, see the description page for the HTTP Public Key Pinning response header.

4.4. Ensuring that data displays correctly in the Fuse Console

If the display of the queues and connections in the Fuse Console is missing queues, missing connections, or displaying inconsistent icons, adjust the Jolokia collection size parameter that specifies the maximum number of elements in an array that Jolokia marshals in a response.

Procedure

  1. In the upper right corner of the Fuse Console, click the user icon and then click Preferences.

    mf preferences

  2. Increase the value of the Maximum collection size option (the default is 50,000).
  3. Click Close.

4.5. Disabling the Fuse Console

You can disable the Fuse Console on JBoss EAP so that it becomes inaccessible to all users without affecting any other component.

Procedure

To disable the Fuse Console on JBoss EAP, do one of the following:

  • Remove the Fuse Console deployment file: $EAP_HOME/standalone/deployments/hawtio-wildfly-xxxxx.war
  • Undeploy the Fuse Console by using the JBoss EAP admin console or command line interface.

4.6. Connecting to remote Fuse applications

The Fuse Console uses Jolokia, an agent-based approach to Java Management Extensions (JMX) that requires extra software (an agent) installed on the client. By default, Red Hat Fuse includes a jolokia agent.

With standalone Fuse Console distributions, you can connect to remote integrations that already have a jolokia agent (https://jolokia.org/) running inside them. If the process that you want to connect to does not have a jolokia agent inside, refer to the jolokia documentation (http://jolokia.org/agent.html).

4.6.1. Unlocking the Fuse Console

By default, Jolokia for Fuse 7 standalone on JBoss EAP) is locked and the Fuse Console is not accessible remotely.

To unlock the Fuse Console for a hostname or IP address other than locahost or 127.0.0.1, follow these steps:

  1. Open the $EAP_HOME/standalone/configuration/jolokia-access.xml file in an editor.
  2. Register the hostnames or IP addresses for the Fuse integrations that you want to access with the Fuse console by adding them to the <cors> section.

    For example, to access hostname 0.0.0.3 from the Fuse Console, add the

    *<allow-origin>http://0.0.0.3:*</allow-origin>*

    line as shown:

    <!--
    
      Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) restrictions
    
      By default, only CORS access within localhost is allowed for maximum security.
    
      You can add trusted hostnames in the <cors> section to unlock CORS access from them.
    
      -->
    
      <cors>
    
        <!-- Allow cross origin access only within localhost -->
    
        <allow-origin>http*://localhost:*</allow-origin>
    
        <allow-origin>http*://127.0.0.1:*</allow-origin>
    
        <allow-origin>http://0.0.0.3:*</allow-origin>
    
        <!-- Whitelist the hostname patterns as <allow-origin> -->
    
        <!--
    
        <allow-origin>http*://*.example.com</allow-origin>
    
        <allow-origin>http*://*.example.com:*</allow-origin>
    
        -->
    
        <!-- Check for the proper origin on the server side to protect against CSRF -->
    
        <strict-checking />
    
      </cors>
  3. Save the file.

4.6.2. Restricting remote access

Optionally, you can restrict remote access to the Fuse Console for specific hosts and IP addresses.

You can grant overall access based on the IP address of an HTTP client. To specify these restrictions:

In the jolokia-access.xml file, add or edit a <remote> section that contains one or more <host> elements. For the <host> element, you can specify an IP address, a host name, or a netmask given in CIDR format (for example, 10.0.0.0/16 for all clients coming from the 10.0 network).

The following example allows access from localhost and all clients whose IP addresses start with 10.0. For all other IP addresses, access is denied.

<remote>
  <host>localhost</host>
  <host>10.0.0.0/16</host>
</remote>

For more details, see the Jolokia security documentation (https://jolokia.org/reference/html/security.html).

4.6.3. Allowing connections to remote Fuse instances

The Fuse Console’s proxy servlet uses whitelist host protection, with which by default the Fuse Console can only connect to localhost. If you want to connect the Fuse Console to other remote Fuse instances, make the following configuration changes in the standalone/configuration/standalone-*.xml file:

+

 <property name=hawtio.proxyWhitelist" value="localhost, 127.0.0.1, myhost1, myhost2, myhost3"/>

4.6.4. Connecting to a remote Jolokia agent

Before you begin, you need to know the connection details (host name, port, and path) of the remote Jolokia agent.

The default connection URLs for the Jolokia agent on Red Hat JBoss EAP is http://<host>:8080/hawtio/jolokia.

As a system administrator, you can change this default.

Typically, the URL to remotely connect to a Jolokia agent is the URL to open the Fuse Console plus /jolokia. For example, if the URL to open the Fuse Console is http://<host>:1234/hawtio, then the URL to remotely connect to it would probably be http://<host>:1234/hawtio/jolokia.

To connect to a remote Jolokia instance so that you can examine its JVM:

  1. Click the Connect tab.
  2. Click the Remote tab, and then Add connection.
  3. Type the Name, Scheme (HTTP or HTTPS), and the hostname.
  4. Click Test Connection.
  5. Click Add.
Note

The Fuse Console automatically probes the local network interfaces other than localhost and 127.0.0.1 and adds them to the whitelist. Hence, you do not need to manually register the local machine’s addresses to the whitelist.

4.6.5. Setting data moving preferences

You can change the following Jolokia preferences, for example, if you want to more frequently refresh data that displays in the Fuse Console. Note that increasing the frequency of data updates impacts networking traffic and increases the number of requests made to the server.

  • Update rate - The period between polls to Jolokia to fetch JMX data (the default is 5 seconds).
  • Maximum depth - The number of levels that Jolokia will marshal an object to JSON on the server side before returning (the default is 7).
  • Maximum collection size - The maximum number of elements in an array that Jolokia marshals in a response (the default is 50,000).

To change the values of these settings:
