Bug Reports and Feature Requests

Jolokia uses GitHub for bug tracking and release management. Please fill in any issue you find or feature requests you have.

Source

Jolokia uses GitHub as source repository and employs a Fork + Pull Model for development. The git clone URL is git@github.com:rhuss/jolokia.git.

We are always looking for volunteers to enhance Jolokia. If you would like start to participate, we suggest the following way:

• Check for an open feature request you like or open bug at GitHub.
• Fork Jolokia by visiting the project page (use "Fork" from the menu).
• Leave a short note, on what you are working (so that we can update the status of the feature request or bug).
• After finishing your implementation, send a pull request.
• After briefly reviewing the code contribution, it will integrated into the master repository.

Please note, that all the contributed code must be licensable under Apache License, Version 2.

Blog

We occassionally blog on http://labs.consol.de about various topics (1-2 posts per month). There are interesting use cases how to setup JSR-160 connectors for JBoss and Weblogic, what is the best way for configuring Nagios with check_jmx4perl but also about things like Java Mail mysteries. If you are interested in Jolokia stuff only, subscribe to the Jolokia RSS feed. Otherwise, with this RSS Feed you get them all (and from my co-workers as well).

Professional Support

Thanks to ConSol*, we are able to offer professional support and consulting. I.e. we do (and already have done for jmx4perl with quite some success):

• Support with certain service level agreements, up to 7x24.
• Workshops for evaluating how to best integrate Jolokia (and jmx4perl) in your server landscape. We are especially experts for large scale integration in huge Nagios and OP5 setups, not only for monitoring JMX MBeans but for Nagios in general.
• Consulting and custom programming, e.g. an agent manager for mass deployment of the agents to hundreds of servers.

Please contact me (either per mail at roland@jolokia.org or via our contact form) if you are interested in a concrete offering or for a reference.

So, that was it for the plug ;-)

Your Support for Jolokia

Jolokia is free software, released under the business friendly Apache License. That's mostly because I believe that open source software is the real driving force behind software innovation and I highly appreciate the fine pieces of open source software engineering I had the luck to use in my daily work. I love this.

Nevertheless, if you want to support the development of Jolokia (it is still a hobby project) and you like this software you can flattr it.
