JBoss with inspectIT

JBoss Dockerfile including inspectIT

This docker image is based on the tutum/JBoss docker image including the inspectIT agent of the open source APM solution www.inspectit.rocks. This image can be used easily as a replacement for the JBoss image, meaning you only have to change your existing Dockerfile FROM xyz/jboss:5 to FROM inspectit/jboss:5.

Quickstart

First you need a running inspectIT CMR. You can use our docker image:

$ docker run -d --name inspectIT-CMR -p 8182:8182 -p 9070:9070 inspectit/cmr

Now you can start a container with the following command:

$ docker run -d --link inspectIT-CMR:cmr -p 8080:8080 -p 9990:9990 -v $(pwd)/config:/opt/agent/active-config inspectit/jboss:5

You can now adjust the instrumentation configuration in the folder config for your needs. Please refer to our documentation or just leave a comment.

##Usage To get the admin password of your new container, check the logs of the container by running:

docker logs <CONTAINER_ID>

You should see something like the following:

=> Configuring admin user with a random password in JBoss
=> Done!

You can now configure to this JBoss server using:

    admin:yDY4ZnRXw1Gy

Configuration

Agent name

By default, the inspectIT agent uses the hostname (docker-ID) as agent name. You can set a different name setting AGENT_NAME or hostname:

$ docker run -d --link inspectIT-CMR:cmr -p 8080:8080 -p 9990:9990 -v $(pwd)/config:/opt/agent/active-config -e AGENT_NAME=<agent-name> inspectit/jboss:5

$ docker run -d --link inspectIT-CMR:cmr -h <agent-name> -p 8080:8080 -p 9990:9990 -v $(pwd)/config:/opt/agent/active-config inspectit/jboss:5

JBoss password

If you want to use your own password for the JBoss application server, then you can set a specific password setting JBOSS_PASS:

$ docker run -d --link inspectIT-CMR:cmr -h <agent-name> -p 8080:8080 -p 9990:9990 -v $(pwd)/config:/opt/agent/active-config -e JBOSS_PASS="<jboss-password>" inspectit/jboss:5

Using a custom inspectIT CMR

If you don't want to use the inspectIT CMR docker image or cannot link to it, you can set the IP address and port manually:

$ docker run -d -e INSPECTIT_CMR_ADDR=<cmr-ip-address> -e INSPECTIT_CMR_PORT=<cmr-port> -p 8080:8080 -p 9990:9990 inspectit/jboss:5

Specifying the JBoss version

Currently, this image is based on the JBoss 5 image. Support for different version 6 and 7 is also available.

Specifying the inspectIT version

Currently, this image is based on the latest beta inspectIT release. Later, support for other versions is added.

Build the docker image

If you want to build the JBoss inspectIT image yourself, checkout this repository and run

$ docker build -t inspectit/jboss:5 .
