7.16. Setting the Agent to Detect or Poll the Server

The agent has to stay in contact with a JBoss ON server. This can either be done by using multicast detection to monitor when its primary JBoss ON server comes online or goes offline or by simply polling the JBoss ON server at intervals to see if the server is online.
These polling methods aren't exclusive; they can both be set, so that the agent can use whatever method is convenient or available to poll the server.
Polling the server allows the agent to stop sending commands and data to the server if the server goes offline and then to resume automatically when the server is back online. If server polling is not enabled on the agent, then the agent always assumes that the server is online and sends its information to the server. If the server goes down, then the agent records repeated connection refused errors, which (if the server is down for a long time) can make the agent log grow very large.

7.16.1. Settings for Polling the JBoss ON Server

The simplest configuration is to set a polling interval for the agent. With this method, the agent simply pings the server at the predefined interval.
  1. Open the agent prompt. For example, if the agent process is already running, the prompt can be opened by re-running the rhq-agent.sh script with the -n option. 
    agentRoot/rhq-agent/bin/rhq-agent.sh -n

  2. Send the setconfig with the rhq.agent.client.server-polling-interval-msecs setting and a value (in milliseconds). Setting this value to zero (0) or a negative number disables server polling. 
    > setconfig rhq.agent.client.server-polling-interval-msecs=500

  3. Restart the agent process to load the new configuration. 
    agentRoot/rhq-agent/bin/rhq-agent-wrapper.sh stop

7.16.2. Setting up Multicast Detection
Copiar enlace

Multicast detection uses JBoss's Remoting framework, which allows the agent to detect whenever a server comes on or goes off line within a few seconds. Using the Remoting framework requires support for multicast traffic; otherwise, the agent cannot detect the server. This has more configuration parameters than simple polling:
  • Setting to enable both server detection and multicast traffic (rhq.agent.server-auto-detection and rhq.communications.multicast-detector.enabled, respectively).
  • A wait interval between server communications (rhq.communications.multicast-detector.default-time-delay); if the server is silent longer than that interval, then the server is considered offline.
  • Await, or heartbeat, interval for the agent's own messages (rhq.communications.multicast-detector.heartbeat-time-delay). This value must be shorter than the JBoss ON server's heartbeat interval (rhq.communications.multicast-detector.default-time-delay), or it results in unnecessary messages and network traffic.
To enable multicast detection:
  1. Open the agent prompt. For example, if the agent process is already running, the prompt can be opened by re-running the rhq-agent.sh script with the -n option. 
    agentRoot/rhq-agent/bin/rhq-agent.sh -n
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  2. Send the setconfig with the multicast settings. The time-delay values are in milliseconds. 
    > setconfig rhq.agent.server-auto-detection=true
> setconfig rhq.communications.multicast-detector.enabled=true
> setconfig rhq.communications.multicast-detector.default-time-delay=75000
> setconfig rhq.communications.multicast-detector.heartbeat-time-delay=60000
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  3. Restart the agent process to load the new configuration. 
    agentRoot/rhq-agent/bin/rhq-agent-wrapper.sh stop
