Neither the Tomcat plugin nor the JMX plugin supports the Events. You'd have to modify the plugin code to do that. Adding this support to the Tomcat plugin probably wouldn't be hard - you could just mimic what the JBossAS or RHQ Agent plugins do. It looks like it could be as easy as adding 4 lines to the component java class and a few lines of XML to the descriptor. See AgentServerComponent in the rhq-agent plugin and its declaration/usage of this.logFileEventDelegate as well as its <event> XML in the rhq-plugin.xml descriptor.

As for JMX - not sure what the events would be. If you want JMX Notifications to be the RHQ events, you'd have to figure out how to configure the JMX server components to know how/where to subscribe to those notifications. We never looked into that, but it could be an interesting project for someone to attempt.

If you need help on any of this coding, feel free to start a thread on the developer's mailing list - rhq-devel

I have been unable to find a way to ingest events using the Tomcat plugin. I would like to look for events from the logs/catalina.out file. But under the Tomcat Server I was unable to find any service that had Events.

I am using (for evaluation)

RHQ

Version: 4.0.0.B03

Build Number: 7d43d73

Similar question for JMX plugin.

Thanks.
