Introduction

The Managed Agent Explorer provides a view to introspect and interact with manageable resources instrumented for different types of managed resources using protocols like JMX. JMX is a open solution for management and monitoring of Java based applications available as part of Java 5. The Managed Agent Explorer provides the following main features:

  1. Connect to different resources by providing a configuration for that particular resource type
  2. View the properties and operations provided by a resource for management; refresh on demand
  3. Inspect individual properties; Change the property values
  4. Invoke operations on the resource; ability to key in parameters and view returned results
  5. View the topology of a group of managed resources in MBean collections within an MBeanServer in JMX.
  6. Connect directly with any member of such a displayed group and further inspect/interact with that resource
