Release Automation

Hi, I need to know the cases where JMX Management Console can be used in agents.

Is there a way to disable it during silent installation? 

On running agents, how can I disable it?

Thanks.

Not sure about silent install but for disabling the jmx you can try set this value in conf/nolio.jmx.properties:

jmx.web.console.enabled=false  (need to restart the service for new setting take effect) 

Thanks Jacky, do you know in which cases this configuration should be enabled? (Ex:File distribution, action execution,etc)

Thanks.

JMX ui used  mainly for debug purpose

Jacky: In the following post I found this:

Nolio Official KB: How do I setup Silent install of Agents? 

#change hidden port (JMX port) to true and add number different then 8282
#only required in case you have multiple agents on same server or port is in use already
nolio.hiddenport$Boolean=false
port.hidden=

This applies to 6.2 agents?

Thanks.

I believe it also relevant to V6.2 agents as well.

Jacky: I tested the nolio hidden port configuration on a windows server,  but it's not working. Should be useful to know every parameter meaning for a silent installation.

nolio.hiddenport$Boolean=false
port.hidden=

Jacky_Mahadab - I'm not familiar with hidden port configuration, but might you know the answer to Julio's question here regarding setting the above parameters?

From what I know you can't disable the JMX port in silent install , those settings will allow you modify jmx port number 

Jacky: To disable the JMX I found this option on 6.2 agents

DeployerJmxEnabled=false

This is the same as jmx.web.console.enabled=false?

Thanks

I think DeployerJmxEnabled refers to agent jmx settings while the jmx.web.console.enabled refers to NAC/NES jmx settings 

Jacky:In order to disable port 20203 on NAC and Execution servers, I tried to  set jmx.web.console.enabled=false in %InstallDIR%/NolioAgent/conf/nolio.jmx.properties, restarted the Execution servers and agent, but the port is still up.

lsof -i:20203
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
java 11966 x000935 244u IPv6 77845666 0t0 TCP *:20203 (LISTEN)
 

What should I need to configure?

Hi Julio,

Could you keep the setting you have (jmx.web.console.enabled=false), and then set the port to 0:

jmx.web.console.port=0

Restart the agent and the port should no longer be exposed, let me know if this helps.

Jeremy

Julio,

My apologies, I forgot the format is a bit different for the agent, so conf/nolio.jmx.properties should contain the following:

DeployerJmxPort=0
DeployerJmxEnabled=false

Just to elaborate a bit, to disable the port entirely on a NAC/management server 20203/tcp, you would need to edit:

%installdir%\webapps\datamanagement\WEB-INF\distributed.properties

Make sure the following 2 lines are changed to reflect:

jmx.web.console.enabled=false
jmx.web.console.port=0

Save, restart NAC, port 20203 should no longer be exposed or accessible.

The same applies to a standalone execution server, you would just need to instead make the same changes above to:

%installdir%\webapps\execution\WEB-INF\distributed.properties

Then save, restart NES.

As for the agent(s) w/JMX exposed on port 8282, as I mentioned previously simply edit:

%agentdir%\conf\nolio.jmx.properties

with these 2 lines updated:

DeployerJmxPort=0
DeployerJmxEnabled=false

Let me know if this helps, thanks.

Jeremy

nelje05, Jacky_Mahadab:  Thanks! your help is much appreciated.

Jeremy: Do you know if it's possible to disable this port during agent installation?

thanks.
