Kenny MacLeod commented on JBAS-4156:
-------------------------------------

ok, i could've explained it better :)

It is common to run multiple JBAS instances on a single host, when that host has multiple IP addresses.  Each instance is bound to a specific IP address using the -b switch.

However, when you go to the JMX console, the page just lists the hostname of the machine, not the name of the specific address to which that instance has been bound.

As an example, say I have a machine who's hostname is machine-1.  This machine has additional IP addresses, which have DNS entries as jboss-host-1 and jboss-host-2.  The machine is running a JBAS instance bound to each of the addition addresses.  The JMX console for both instances just displays "machine-1", so you can't distinguish them.  If it displayed jboss-host-1 or -2, that would be better.

The easy fix is for the JMX console to display the name of the JBOSS_BIND_ADDRESS system property, rather than the local host name.  In the default situation where JBoss binds to localhost, it should still display the hostname.

> The main page of the jmx-console currently displays the hostname of the localhost.  In cases where multiple jboss instances are running on a single host, this isn't particularly useful.
> I'd like to request that as well as the hostname, it also displays the hostname of the IP address to which the jboss instance is bound.
