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

Make sure the JMX user has been configured on target JBoss instances, for symptoms see "JMX User Has not Been Configured on the Target JBoss Instance" section.
