1.3. Installing JBoss Plug-in Packs
All resources are identified to the server and the agent through agent plug-ins. Agent plug-ins defined support resources, including supported metrics, operations, configuration propertities, and resource versions.
JBoss products are supported through their own special plug-ins which are available in separate plug-in packs. These plug-ins packs have to be installed before the JBoss products can be discovered and managed.

To install JBoss plug-ins:
- Download the plug-in JAR files from the Customer Support Portal.In the Customer Support Portal, click Software, and then select the JBoss ON for Plug-in drop-down box.
- Download the plug-in packs.
- Unzip the additional plug-in packs. This creates a subdirectory with the name
jon-plugin-pack-plugin_name-3.1.2.GA1. - Copy the new plug-ins from the
jon-plugin-pack-plugin_name-3.1.2.GA1/directory to the JBoss ON server plug-in directory.[root@server rhq-agent]# cp myDirectory/jon-plugin-pack-plugin_name-3.1.2.GA1/* /opt/jon/jon-server-3.1.2.GA1/plugins
The server polls this directory every few minutes to look for updated plug-ins. - Once the plug-ins have been deployed to the server, reload the agent plug-ins on the agents themselves.This can be done from the command line using the agent's
pluginscommand:> plugins update
This can also be done in the JBoss ON GUI by scheduling an update plugins operation for an agent or a group or agents.
