How to manage Wildfly-embedded HornetQ with jconsole? - jmx

I am running HornetQ inside Wildfly. I want to monitor/manage messages with Jconsole locally, however when I open Jconsole I don't see a process for HornetQ and when I tried the different Wildfly processes listed, there are no HornetQ beans listed. What am I missing?

Resolved the problem by running Wildfly's own Jconsole version (found in WILDFLY_HOME/bin/jconsole.bat (or .sh).

Unable to access datasource mbeans via jmx in wildfly swarm/thorntail

I'm trying to enable JMX for my wildfly swarm component. I'm used to seeing several mbeans for a variety of wildfly subsystems, I'm specifically interested in the data source mbeans.
I've pasted a snippet below, I've got the jmx fraction and I have statistics-enabled set to true. When thorntail is running I can connect to the JVM via JMX, but I am cannot see any datasource mbeans. Is there something else that needs to be enabled for them to show up?
The app is currently on swarm 2018.2.0.Final
swarm:
jmx:
expression-expose-model.domain-name: RemoteJMX
jmx-remoting-connector:
use-management-endpoint: true
resolved-expose-model.domain-name: RemoteJMX
show-model: true
datasources:
data-sources:
MyDataSourceName:
driver-name: com.microsoft.sqlserver
connection-url: jdbc:xyz
statistics-enabled: true
First of all, WildFly Swarm 2018.2.0.Final is very old. In the meantime, WildFly Swarm got renamed to Thorntail; you can automatically migrate by running mvn io.thorntail:thorntail-maven-plugin:2.5.0.Final:migrate-from-wildfly-swarm.
And then: if you connect to JMX, do you see any WildFly MBeans at all? I mean, is the problem with datasources only, or is it more general?
During boot, you should see JMX-related log messages, such as JMX not configured for remote access or JMX configured for remote connector: implicitly using ... interface. Do you see any of them?
Finally, it seems you want JMX exposed on the management port. Do you have a dependency on the management fraction?

Apache Artemis queue monitoring with Zabbix

I'd like to keep track of data that might be stuck in Apache Artemis queues and I'd like to leverage its JMX management abilities together with our Zabbix instance.
What steps do I need to take in order to successfully connect Zabbix to Artemis via JMX? The ones mentioned in https://activemq.apache.org/artemis/docs/latest/management.html are not quite clear to me.
I had to disable the internal connector and go the other way around by adding this to the artemis.profile file:
JAVA_ARGS="$JAVA_ARGS -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote"
JAVA_ARGS="$JAVA_ARGS -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false"
JAVA_ARGS="$JAVA_ARGS -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false"
JAVA_ARGS="$JAVA_ARGS -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=1099"
JAVA_ARGS="$JAVA_ARGS -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.rmi.port=1098"
JAVA_ARGS="$JAVA_ARGS -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=edimq-broker-master-az1.dc01.clouedi.local"
However, this way it's anything but secure, I know.
As the documentation states, you need to add this to your management.xml:
<connector connector-port="1099"/>
This will expose a JMX connector on localhost so if you want to be able to access it remotely from another machine on your network (i.e. your Zabbix instance) then you should do something like:
<connector connector-port="1099" connector-host="myhost" />
Also, if you have multiple IP addresses on the machine hosting the broker you'll want to set this system property in the JAVA_ARGS variable in artemis.profile:
-Djava.rmi.server.hostname=myhost
Then point your Zabbix instance at the broker using a url like:
service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://myhost:1099/jmxrmi
You can see this in action by running the jmx example shipped with Artemis in the examples/features/standard/ directory. Just navigate into that directory and run mvn verify. Running the example will create a broker instance, start the broker instance, and run the client all automatically. After the example runs you can go to into the target/server0 directory and look at all the configuration files to compare them to your own. You can also start broker independently of the example if you wish (by running ./artemis run from the target/server0/bin directory). Once the broker is running you should be able to connect to it with JConsole no problem using a JMX url like this:
service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://localhost:1099/jmxrmi

TITAN server monitoring via JMX

Is it possible to monitor TITAN cassandra server with rexster remotely via JMX using something like VisualVM?
I have titan installed on the cloud and want to monitor it from my dev box. Is this possible.
I have read this
https://github.com/tinkerpop/rexster/wiki/Monitoring
but it seems that JMX MBeans are only available locally however I could be wrong
You can monitor Rexster JMX remotely with VisualVM, but it takes a bit of configuration and changes to rexster.sh as you need to include these environment variables:
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=3333
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false
You can read some more about how to do remote setup on the VisualVM site.
You mentioned that you are trying to monitor an instance in the cloud. You didn't mention the cloud provider, but I've had trouble doing this with EC2 in the past. Perhaps this post will help you out. While I've had issues with VisualVM remoting to EC2, I have successfully connected to Rexster via VisualVM from another EC2 instance without trouble so if all else fails that could be your workaround.

Remote JMX Technology

anybody work on Remote Monitoring in java (JMX).
I have to monitor Remote Tomcat instance on Linux system and i need to monitor on local window machine.
i am accessing Remote Tomcat using Putty through VPN.
Please help..
I have tried by give jmx port in catalina.sh file of tomcat with variable JAVA_OPT and further tunneling in Putty ,but i m not able to access via localhost with port ,
also by using service jmx command.
please help !!!
Thanks for your time and support in advance ..
Remote JMX needs two ports to operate properly. And the second one (the RMI registry port) is by default picked randomly causing problems with firewalls etc.
Since JDK7u4 you can use
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.rmi.port=<port>
to set the RMI port to be used.
See this blog for more detailed steps.

Hyperic JMX monitoring threads not closing

I'm using tomcat 6 and HypericHQ for monitoring via JMX.
The issue is the following:
hyperic, overtime, opens hundreds of jmx connection and never closes them.. after few hours our tomcat server is using 100% cpu without doing anything.
Once I stop hyperic agent, tomcat will go back to 0-1% cpu..
Here is what we are seeing virtual vm:
http://forums.hyperic.com/jiveforums/servlet/JiveServlet/download/1-11619-37096-2616/Capture.PNG
I don't know if this is an hyperic issue or not, but I wonder if there is an option to fix it via tomcat/java configuration? The reason that I don't know if this is an hyperic or a tomcat/java configuration issue is because that when we use hyperic on other standard java daemon it doesn't have the same connection leak issue.
The JMX is exposed using Spring, and it's working great when connecting with JMX clients (JConsole/VisualVM). When I close the client, I see that the number of connections drops by one.
Is there any thing that we can do to fix this via java configuration? (forcing it to close a connection that is open for more than X seconds?)
One more thing, in tomcat we see (from time to time) the following message (while hyperic is running):
Mar 7, 2011 11:30:00 AM ServerCommunicatorAdmin reqIncoming
WARNING: The server has decided to close this client connection.
Thanks
