Installing the Middleware Management Agent via Zip

The EAP agent zip installer is available from the middleware manager status page.

  1. Launch a browser and go to http://my_mwmanager_host:8080/.

  2. Click the EAP Agent Installer link.

  3. In the Authentication Required pop-up, enter the credentials for the middleware manager user (the HAWKULAR_USERNAME and HAWKULAR_PASSWORD).

    The middleware management server downloads a file named hawkular-wildfly-agent-installer.jar to your local machine.

Install the Agent in Enterprise Application Platform

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

After you have downloaded the .jar file, use one of the following commands to copy the file to the EAP server (if it is on a different machine) and install the agent. Select the command that matches the mode of your EAP server.

Standalone mode
java -jar ~Downloads/hawkular-wildfly-agent-installer.jar
   --target-location=/opt/jboss-eap-7.0/
   --server-url=http://my_mwmanager_host:8080
   --username=my_mwmanager_username
   --password=my_mwmanager_password
Domain mode
java -jar ~Downloads/hawkular-wildfly-agent-installer.jar
   --target-location=/opt/jboss-eap-7.0/
   --target-config=/opt/jboss-eap-7.0/domain/configuration/host.xml
   --server-url=http://my_mwmanager_host:8080
   --username=my_mwmanager_username
   --password=my_mwmanager_password
