How to display monitoring windows of Hawkular?

Question

I am a beginner to Hawkular and struggling to display the Hawkular web ui. My OS is Windows 10 and Cassandra datastax-ddc-64bit-3.7.0 is installed successfully.

Both Wildfly 10 and hawkular-services-dist-0.23.0.Final are unzip in c driver.

This is my Hawkular installation process.

1. add user in Hawkular home folder <hawkular-services-dist-0.23.0.Final\bin>

add-user.bat -a -u username -p password -g read-write,read-only

2. execute standalone.bat in hawkular home folder <hawkular-services-dist-0.23.0.Final\bin>

standalone.bat

3. I download hawkular-wildfly-agent-installer file from Wildfly agent Installer link of welcome windows, localhost:8080

4. I execute jar command like below

java -jar hawkular-wildfly-agent-installer.jar —target-location=c:\wildfly-10.0.0.Final --username username —password password

5. And I start wildfly 10 with the following option in wildfly_home folder <c:\wildfly-10.0.0.Final\bin>

standalone.bat –Djboss.socket.binding.port-offset=100

6. These steps throw no exceptions. However I can not see any monitoring option display, only welcome window.

How can I display the Hawkular monitoring window?

Answer 1

There is no built-in GUI for showing metrics in Hawkular services. Hawkular exposes REST endpoints to fetch data, that you can directly use within an application of your own (they are detailed here: for Metrics, for Alerts). But there's also a couple of available tools to display metrics:

• You can use Grafana with the Hawkular datasource plugin.
• There's also HawkFX, a jruby client, but I'm not sure if it has been tested on windows.
• And an Android client, though I never used it myself
