service datadog-agent restart

JMX integration with JBoss

Server Preparation

JBoss instances have to be configured to allow JMX agent access. Details on how to configure JBoss various JBoss versions running in various modes are available here:

WildFly and JMX

Agent Classpath and Startup Options

Working jmx.yaml configuration:

init_config:
    custom_jar_paths:
      - /opt/jdg/bin/client/jboss-cli-client.jar

instances:
    - jmx_url: "service:jmx:remoting-jmx://1.2.3.4:4447"
      user: jmx
      password: ***
      java_bin_path: /opt/jdk/bin/java
      name: jdg1
      tags:
        env: stage
        newTag: test
      conf:
        - include:
            domain: jboss.datagrid-infinispan
            bean:
              - type=Cache,name=gameStateCache(dist_sync),manager=clustered,component=Statistics
            attribute:
              attribute1:
                metric_type: counter
                alias: numberOfEntries
