Accessing Embedded ActiveMQ Artemis with Hawtio

I have Spring Boot application that includes an embedded ActiveMQ Artemis and Camel. This uses the following ActiveMQ dependency:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.activemq</groupId>
        <artifactId>artemis-server</artifactId>
        <version>2.18.0</version>
    </dependency>

I also use Jolokia as dependency. When connecting to the application with a remote Hawtio instance the Camel plugin is enabled and I can also see Camel and ActiveMQ Artemis through the JMX Plugin. However the ActiveMQ plugin is not enabled (though it is included in a default Hawtio installation).

How can I make Hawtio recognize ActiveMQ, so that it enables the Hawtio ActiveMQ Plugin?

The ActiveMQ plugin shipped with Hawtio is for the ActiveMQ "Classic" broker, not ActiveMQ Artemis. Therefore, it won't detect the embedded instance of ActiveMQ Artemis.

ActiveMQ Artemis itself has a Hawtio plugin consisting of three parts:

1. artemis-console (rename as console.war)
2. artemis-plugin (rename as artemis-plugin.war)
3. activemq-branding (rename as activemq-branding.war)

You could download those war files and deploy them in your web application server (assuming you have one). I've done this on Wildfly 24 and it worked fine once I relaxed security on the remote ActiveMQ Artemis instance (allowing "guest" users and disabling CORS in jolokia-access.xml). Of course, in production you'll want to sort out the security issues, but this should get you moving in the right direction.
