Hawkular is a set of components for Monitoring. This explorer connects to a Hawkular server and allows to browse trough inventory and view entities, graph metrics.

Other functions include listing of all metrics on a system, listing of Events/Alerts, injection of Events, injection of metric values and a few more things.

The explorer requires JRuby in version 9+ and Java8

If you are using rvm you can select it via

rvm use jruby-9.1.5.0

NOTE

You need a version of Java8 later than 8u45. Also JRuby 9.1.5 is required at the moment (later versions have an issue that prevents JRubyFX from running correctly).

install and use bundler to install the required gems

gem install bundler

bundle install

then run

jruby -G -S hawkfx.rb # faster than bundle exec jruby hawkfx.rb
