There are two methods for installing the necessary Monitoring Plug-ins. The first (and easier), is to log into the Geronimo administrative console for the instance of Geronimo onto which the plug-in(s) will be installed, and select 'Plugins' from the left navigation menu.
In the Plugins portlet:
- Click 'Update repository list'
- Select a valid Geronimo repository from the list available
- Click 'Show Plugins in selected repository'
- To install the Monitoring Agent, select the appropriate plug-in from the list shown
- If the OpenEJB component is not already present on the assembly, it may be beneficial to use the JMX flavor of the Monitoring Agent
- To install the Monitoring Console, select the plugin appropriate for the web container in use from the list shown
- If the goal is to both view and record statistics from the same instance of Geronimo, both the Agent and Console plugins must be installed
The second method would be required if starting from a minimal assembly, or if the Geronimo administrative console were otherwise unavailable.
In terminal:
- Go to the Geronimo bin directory
- Execute:
java -jar deployer.jar search-plugins - At the prompt, enter the appropriate number(s) for the desired plugins
