Description mchoma 2019-05-24 12:15:39 UTC

Description of problem:
I dont see "Open Java Console" link on OCP 4.1 web console as I was used to in OCP 3.11.

Customer Impact: Customer used to use "Open Java Console" in OpenShift web console for reading jmx values is not able to do so anymore. We are not aware of any workaround right now.

Feature JVM Console is documented in OCP 3.11 Documentation [2].
There is no deprecation note in 3.11 release notes [3].
Feature JVM Console is not documented in OCP 4.1 Documentation anymore [5].
We have just found this statement "Starting in 4.1 the Java console is no longer bundled with OpenShift console and is not installed by default." [4]

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.1 rc5

How reproducible:
I have deployed EAP CD16 image. Basically I did this:
{code}
oc import-image jboss-eap-7-tech-preview/eap-cd-openshift --from=registry.access.redhat.com/jboss-eap-7-tech-preview/eap-cd-openshift --confirm
oc new-app eap-cd-openshift --name eap-app
{code}
and renamed port 8787 to "jolokia"
Looking into openshift web console at pod details I cant see that link.

Comment 7 Antonin Stefanutti 2019-07-25 12:44:28 UTC

The newest version of the Java Console will be delivered as part of the Fuse Console, which provide equivalent level of functionality, but with latest bug fixes, up-to-date PatternFly UI and Red Hat branding. 

The main work to have the Fuse Console working on OpenShift 4 has just been completed upstream [1]. Productisation will follow, so it should be available in the next Fuse release. In parallel, we are now working on making the new console available in OperatorHub, so it's easy for customers to install the new console, as a replacement for the Java Console that they were used to use in OpenShift 3.

Documentation about the new integration with OpenShift 4 can be found at [2].

Comment 10 Antonin Stefanutti 2019-08-22 12:58:47 UTC

The community version of the Fuse Console (Hawtio Online [1]) is now available in OperatorHub [2]. It can be used as a replacement for the old JVM console, provided that the Jolokia agents must be updated to use:
- Use Jolokia 1.6.2
- Add the Fuse Console (Hawtio Online) principal to the list of authorised clients

The productised version is currently planned to be released with Fuse 7.5.

We plan to work the following improvements ASAP:
- Add menu link CRD
- Automate the client certificate generation in the console operator

Closing this bug out as there is no console work to track.  The relevant console extension points are available for use by other components:
