hyperic / hq Goto Github PK

Hi Guys,
I have always liked Hyperic, it's powers it's only matched by the simplicity, but sadly since VMware bought it, it's seems like Hyperic has died, or at least in comma.

Could you share:

• What it's the OpenSource status of Hyperic? May I fork it without any fear to a lawsuit?
• May I use it as the engine of another protect?
• do you have any roadmap available?
• is there any future in the OSS version?
• should I start looking for an alternative?

Thanks

Version: hyperic-hq-agent-5.0.0

We have 5 pairs of different linux boxes. Each pair has the hq-agent 5.0 installed one one box and the hyperic server running on the other box. I noticed one of the hyperic-servers has no metric data displayed. I suspected its HQ-agent did not send any data to the hyperic server. After checking the hyperic log, I saw the following exceptions were thrown:
.

I tried to some steps to see if I could get HQ-agent to work normally again:

1. restart the HQ-agent service
2. restart the linux box that runs HQ-agent.
3. delete the files form the hyperic-hq-agent-5.0.0/data folder
   The error still exists after I tried the each step above. I don't have the reproduce steps. Would you provide any clue what might cause the errors?

org.hyperic.hq.plugin.jboss7.JBossDetectorBase.getVersion() does not handle a JBoss module path with multiple components.

Results in the following debug log output:

I think it is related to the new jdk version.

ps -ef|grep jboss:

/usr/lib/jvm/jre/bin/java ... -Djboss.server.base.dir=/opt/data/jbossas/standalone -c standalone-etjsb.xml

The -c flag specifies the name of an alternate configuration file. But JBossStandaloneDetector.getProductConfig() still looks for the default config file standalone.xml:

In case of several metrics in SQL plugin there are false alerts. Problem is that JDBCMeasurementPlugin.getQueryValue(...) use private variables (_sqlLog and _data) inside method which is called from several threads in parallel. Results can be mixed and false alert is generated or true alert is missed!

Hyperic Version 5.8.6

Hyperic agent giving the subjected error in logs, I have reinstall hq-agent from scratch multiple times and on different servers but that did not help me so I believe this is a bug.

I have opened a discussion on Hyperic forums below link:
https://communities.vmware.com/thread/536216

And logs on the link:
https://communities.vmware.com/servlet/JiveServlet/download/2597683-156589/logs.zip

I'm using JMX-plugin to fetch metrics from JBoss servers. After a failure/restart of a JBoss instance the hyperic agent does not reconnect to the MBean server of the JBoss. The agent log contains the following line:

[ScheduleThread@426] Metric unreachable: Can't connect to MBeanServer url [service:jmx:remoting-jmx://ffo:20152] port [null] username [ivu]: org.jboss.remoting3.NotOpenException: Writes closed

The issue seems to be related to a reuse of a cached JMX connecor in hq-pdk/MxUtil.java, after the JBoss failed.

Hyperic: 5.8.2, JBoss 7.3.4

Hi,
Is there anyway to configure a stateless agent that query spthe server from time to time?
I have a couple,of external agents that I can't reach because of the firewall.

When I was trying to compile the source code of 5.8.4.3, I encountered the error that some dependencies could not be resolved:

Failed to execute goal on project appha-internal-plugin: Could not resolve dependencies for project org.hyperic.hq.plugin:appha-internal-plugin:jar:5.8.4.3: Could not transfer artifact org.hyperic.hq:hq-util:jar:tests:5.8.4.3 from/to cm-release (http://maven.cm.hyperic.org/release): Access denied to: http://maven.cm.hyperic.org/release/org/hyperic/hq/hq-util/5.8.4.3/hq-util-5.8.4.3-tests.jar , ReasonPhrase:Forbidden. -> [Help 1]

And when I trying to install the schema, it seems that the hq-migration-5.8.4.3.pom could not be downloaded either.
And I had the same error when trying 5.8.4
How could I get these files?

Thank you

I'm trying to build this project but maven requests to:
http://maven.cm.hyperic.org/release/org/hyperic/hq/hq-common/5.8.6/hq-common-5.8.6.pom
are returning
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Error> <Code>AccessDenied</Code> <Message>Access Denied</Message> <RequestId>BC80A1DC6002F799</RequestId> <HostId>u7RezGRpxRvC++gfmgyfnSEJnRD0jzm+ScrtZbp1djFcZKzEJReAjTHOEj1oSWd9fp/VrYl2Lsw=</HostId> </Error>
Similarly http://hyperic.org isn't returning anything

Is this a temporary glitch?

Thanks!

org.hyperic.hq.plugin.jboss7.JBossDetectorBase.getVersion() assumes that jboss-as-server_.jar is located within *module-dir_/org/jboss/as/server/main but with the new layered module directory it resides in module-dir /system/layers/base /org/jboss/as/server/main.

We have exception:
