JMX Collector
Collects JMX information from various JMX datasources into RRD files.
Requirements
JMX Collector saves collected data into RRD files written by the excellent rrd4j Java library. You need to download rrd4j from http://code.google.com/p/rrd4j/ and install it into your local Maven repository
Configuration
The easiest way to configure it is using a custom config.cfg file, see example below:
jmxusr:myjmxpwd@web01:48080
/data/rrd/%h/p%4p/requests.rrd:requests = "Catalina:type=GlobalRequestProcessor,name=ajp-2%4p".requestCount
/data/rrd/%h/p%4p/logins.rrd:logins = "MyJMXService:name=Customer Service".LoginCount
The above sample configuration would collect data from server web01 (with JMX port at 48080)
using JMX user jmxusr and password myjmxpwd:
- Tomcat AJP requests per second into
/data/rrd/web01/p8080/requests.rrd - Number of logins per second (custom MBean) into
/data/rrd/web01/p8080/logins.rrd
Another example configuration:
# Collecting requests/s from 3 different tomcat instances all running on host soap02
# the tomcat instances listen on HTTP port 38080, 38081 and 38082
jmxusr:myjmxpwd@soap02:48080
/data/rrd/%h/p%4p/requests.rrd:requests = "Catalina:type=GlobalRequestProcessor,name=http-3%4p".requestCount
jmxusr:myjmxpwd@soap02:48081
/data/rrd/%h/p%4p/requests.rrd:requests = "Catalina:type=GlobalRequestProcessor,name=http-3%4p".requestCount
jmxusr:myjmxpwd@soap02:48082
/data/rrd/%h/p%4p/requests.rrd:requests = "Catalina:type=GlobalRequestProcessor,name=http-3%4p".requestCount
Running
Building with maven and starting JMX Collector using configuration file config.cfg:
mvn package && java -jar target/jmxcollector-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar config.cfg
