Hyperic to support Oracle Application Server and OC4J

Today, Hyperic is sharing an exciting new plugin as part of our ongoing preview of Hyperic HQ 4.0. The beauty of this plugin is it actually supports TWO products:

• Oracle Application Server
• Oracle Containers for Java (OC4J)

As a relative new-comer to the Hyperic Engineering team, I would like to use this opportunity to introduce myself to the community. I spent the previous two years as a platform engineer working on the Oracle Communication and Mobility Server. At Oracle, I helped integrate the J2EE and SIP application servers, exposing management and configuration features via Java Management Extensions (JMX).

Hyperic HQ 3.2 Beta Now Available

The first release of Hyperic HQ 3.2 Beta is now available for download. This exciting new release is designed to provide a more powerful “single pane of glass” to monitor, diagnose and manage today’s complex, custom, web-based IT environments. In addition, significant infrastructure enhancements to the core Hyperic HQ platform were added to deliver the most scalable and manageable enterprise monitoring software available in open source.

New Diagnostics and Visibility
Today’s IT administrators deal with an increasing burden of disparate technologies, and changing resources to monitor and maintain. Typically, they rely on a variety of utilities and diagnostic tools to ensure and restore availability to their systems. Hyperic HQ 3.2 introduces three new capabilities that provide both new and existing users of HQ a single console to manage all layers of their infrastructure:

Stay Alert!

IT Administrators have a love and hate relationship with alerts. They don’t want to miss any important outages or performance problems, because their jobs depend on it. However, those issues have a tendency to surface at 2am in the morning. Hyperic HQ may collect vast amounts of monitoring data from the IT infrastructure, but the most important function that it provides is timely alerts.

We commissioned a user experience study a couple of months ago, and one of our focus group contestants summed it up best, “Alerts are very important and indispensable.” We always understood the importance of alerting, but by better understanding how Hyperic HQ participates in the problem resolution process, we were able to identify some important new features and directions for alerting in the upcoming Hyperic HQ 3.1 release.

Announcing HQ 3.0 Beta

This morning we’ve released the first beta of the next generation of the HQ platform. This release includes a number of significant changes in both the internals of the platform, as well as the feature set offered as part of the open source product. The internal changes to the platform are significant, but I’d like to take a minute to talk about the changes to the open source feature set.
