Plugins

hawtio is highly modular with lots of plugins (see below), so that hawtio can discover exactly what services are inside a JVM and dynamically update the console to provide an interface to them as things come and go. So after you have deployed hawtio into a container, as you add and remove new services to your JVM the hawtio console updates in real time.

For more details see the Configuration Guide and How Plugins Work.

Included Plugins

The following plugins are all included by default in the hawtio-web.war distro. You can see the source for the all default plugins here.

Plugin	Description	Source

jvm	The jvm plugin allows you to connect to local or remote JVMs, and as well install the Jolokia JVM agent into the JVMs.	jvm
karaf	Adds support for Apache Karaf so you can browse features, bundles, services and configuration.	karaf
log	Provides support for visualising the logs inside the JVM along with linking log statements to the source code which generates them. Hawt!	log
maven	Lets you query maven repositories for artifacts; then see the available versions, javadoc and source.	maven

wiki	Provides a git based wiki for viewing, creating and editing text files (Markdown, HTML, XML, property files, JSON) which are then versioned and stored in a git repository	wiki

Developer plugins

The following plugins are not intended to be used by users of hawtio, but are there for developers of hawtio plugins to use to build even hawter plugins.

Plugin	Description	Source
branding	The branding plugin applies an extra branding stylesheet depending on the version and type of server hawtio is running in.	branding
datatable	This plugin provides a programming API similar to ng-grid for writing table/grids in angularjs but uses jQuery DataTables as the underlying implementation.	datatable
forcegraph	The force graph plugin adds a directive to hawtio that allows en easy and customizable way of displaying graph data as a D3 forced graph.	forcegraph
forms	This plugin provides an easy way, given a JSON Schema model of generating a form with 2 way binding to some JSON data.	forms
ide	This plugin provides a directive for linking to source code in your IDE. Currently only IDEA supported	ide
perspective	The perspective plugin makes it easy to define different perspectives which affect which top level nav bars appear in hawtio so that it can behave in different ways for different kinds of users.	perspective
tree	This plugin provides a simple HTML directive for working with jQuery DynaTree widgets from AngularJS	tree
ui	Provides various AngularJS directives for custom widgets	ui

Server Side Plugins

Each hawtio distro has these browser based plugins inside already. The hawtio UI updates itself in real time based on what it can find in the server side JVM it connects to. So for example if you deploy some Apache Camel then the Camel plugin will appear.

In addition there are some server side Java based plugins you can deploy to add new behaviour to your hawtio console.

Server Side Plugin	Distribution	Description	Source
fabric-core	JBoss A-MQ 6.1, JBoss Fuse 6.1 and fabric8 distros	Provides support for the fabric plugin and adds an MBean for accessing the OSGi MetaType metadata for generating nicer OSGi Config Admin forms in the osgi plugin.	source
hawtio-aether	hawtio-default.war	Used by the maven plugin to resolve dependency trees	source
hawtio-git	hawtio-web.war	Supports the wiki plugin and allows the dashboard plugin to load/save/store and version dashboard configurations.	source
hawtio-json-schema-mbean	hawtio-default.war	Provides introspection and JSON Schema lookup of beans which is used for the fabric plugin and is needed for the Dozer editor in the wiki	source
hawtio-local-jvm-mbean	hawtio-default.war	Provides 'jconsole-like' discovery of all JVMs on the same machine as the JVM so that the jvm plugin can easily connect to any local JVMs	source
hawtio-ide	hawtio-default.war	Server side code for the ide plugin	source
hawtio-maven-indexer	hawtio-default.war	Required for the maven plugin so that it can download and quickly search maven central for artifacts.	source
insight-log	JBoss A-MQ, JBoss Fuse and fabric8 distros	Karaf based plugin which is required for the log plugin to query logs.	source
insight-log4j		A log4j based plugin required for the log plugin to query logs.	source

External plugins

Plugin	Description	Source
simple-plugin	A very simple hello world plugin implemented as a separate plugin	simple-plugin
custom-perspective	A simple plugin that edits hawtio's default perspective definition, used to show or hide tabs and group tabs into different perspectives, implemented as a separate plugin	custom-perspective
hawtio-karaf-terminal	A terminal plugin brought over from Apache Felix that uses Ajax term in the front-end to implement a terminal in hawtio when it's running in an Apache Karaf based container.	hawtio-karaf-terminal
insight-kibana3	A hawtio plugin that embeds the kibana3 frontend for Elastic Search into hawtio. Source link is to the plugin definition, had to tell hawtio where to find all of kibana3's javascript files in the pom.xml	insight-kibana3
insight-eshead	A plugin that embeds the ESHead elastic search frontend into hawtio, source link points to the hawtio specific stuff	insight-eshead
insight-eshead	A plugin that embeds the ESHead elastic search frontend into hawtio, source link points to the hawtio specific stuff
