JBoss Operations Network is a powerful and very extensible framework for managing and monitoring servers and services in an enterprise environment. While it is especially strong on JBoss software, it is in no means limited to it.

This session will give an overview of JBoss Operations Network (JBossON) and its downstream, RHQ-project. The overview shows the architecture and will then give a walk through the UI and shows the extension points of JBoss Operations Network and RHQ. In the live demo you will see how to quickly start with JBossON, take resources into inventory and even deploy new software to a managed machine.
