Hi!
Continuing with my tests of Hyperic 4.1.2, I installed it on a freshly installed Centos 5 (running inside a VMWare virtual machine). Then installed Oracle OAS 10.1.3.1 (also known as OC4J)
Then I installed Hyperic 4.1.2 (both agent and server) in that machine (using the respective .rpms) and logged in to the web interface of the server to monitor OAS (which is installed inside /home/oracle/product/10.1.13).
At first it did not detect anything, because the agent was running as an "hyperic" user and the folder where OAS is installed was only accessible by the oracle user or users of the oracle group. So I added the hyperic user to the oracle group, and to be on the safe side, rebooted the computer...
After the reboot, OAS as detected by Hyperic... but it was detected as an "Oracle 8" instance installed at "/home/oracle/product/10.1.3.1"!
At this point I think it is important that I clarify that I installed OC4J as a part of OAS:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/index.html
and not as the standalone "only-for-development-not-production" version:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/java/oc4j/index.html
When I read that Hyperic had support for OC4J I expected production version support (after all, I want Hyperic to monitor my production servers, not our development computers)... was I wrong to assume that?
