Modular architecture
Hawtio is composed of a collection of plugins, each of which is an AngularJS module.
This pluggable architecture is highly extensible, you can dynamically extend Hawtio with your own plugins or automatically discover plugins inside the JVM.
Plugins
Hawtio has lots of built-in plugins such as: JMX, JVM, OSGi, Logs, Apache ActiveMQ, Apache Camel, and Spring Boot.
Small footprint
The only server side dependency (other than the static HTML/CSS/JS/images) is the excellent Jolokia library which is available as a JVM agent, embedded as a Servlet inside hawtio-default.war or can be deployed as an OSGi bundle.
Slick user experience
Hawtio is baked with Bootstrap and PatternFly, a UI framework for enterprise web applications. The stylish UI won't let you get bored!
For microservices
Hawtio can be attached to a Spring Boot application in a snap.
Cloud ready
Hawtio is also ready to run on Kubernetes and OpenShift.
