3.8. Setting Plug-in Configuration Properties

Some default server-side plug-ins and custom plug-ins allow administrators to define specific configuration properties for the plug-in instance. The available properties are defined in the plug-in's rhq-plugin.xml file, and the values are then supplied in the JBoss ON UI.

The descriptor file can define certain configuration parameters that apply to every instance of that plug-in (the descriptor parameters are described in Section 2.2.1, “Descriptor and Configuration” for server-side plug-ins and Section 4.2.2, “Descriptor and Configuration” for agent plugins). The descriptor can set default values to use or can leave these fields blank. Either way, the global plug-in configuration parameters can be set or changed in the JBoss ON web UI.

In the top menu, click the Administration tab.
