Installing the Agent on EAP 6

Note
 The agent installer requires the EAP server to be down during the agent installation process.

  1. Install the required EAP module.

    yum install middleware-manager-agent-eap6

  2. Configure the server:

    $ export JBOSS_HOME=/usr/share/jbossas/
$ java -jar ${JBOSS_HOME}/bin/hawkular-wildfly-agent-installer.jar \
       --target-location=${JBOSS_HOME} \
       --server-url=http://${HAWKULAR_SERVER}:${HAWKULAR_PORT} \
       --username=jdoe \
       --password=password \
       --config-only=true \

  2. In {product-title_short}, select Middleware, then Providers and select the {ProductShortname} provider that you previously configured.

  3. On the Summary screen, in the Relationships table, click the Middleware Servers icon to view the instrumented servers.

Note
 The new server may take a few moments to appear.
