Enable JMX

This documentation applies to NMS version 5.4. An online version of the software can be found here.

Java Management Extensions (JMX) is a Java specification technology (defined in JSR-160) that provides a standard means for Java applications to publish indicators to JMX compliant management and monitoring systems.

This topic describes how to enable JMX devices to send JMX data to SevOne NMS. This workflow is outside of the SevOne NMS application and may not present all of the steps your network requires to enable devices to send JMX data. If the following instructions are not applicable for your network please reference the device manufacturer's documentation.

Related SevOne NMS workflows include the following.

The Device Manager provides access to the New Device page and the Edit Device page where you enable the JMX plugin for a device.
The Object Types page enables you to enable or disable the JMX object types and indicator types you want the JMX plugin to poll in your network.
The Indicator Type Map page enables you to enable or disable the device specific indicators you want the JMX plugin to poll.

Send JMX Data to SevOne NMS

Enter the following command on the JMX device.

Hostname –i

The result should not equal 127.0.0.1

Tomcat

Enter the following commands for the Tomcat Startup script.

JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote"

JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=8007"

JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false"

JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false"

JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=192.168.50.213"

WebLogic

Enter the following commands for the WebLogic Startup script.

/opt/Oracle/Middleware/wlserver_10.3/samples/domains/wl_server/bin/startWebLogic.sh

JAVA_OPTIONS="$JAVA_OPTIONS -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote"

JAVA_OPTIONS="$JAVA_OPTIONS -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=8007"

JAVA_OPTIONS="$JAVA_OPTIONS -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false"

JAVA_OPTIONS="$JAVA_OPTIONS -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false"

JAVA_OPTIONS="$JAVA_OPTIONS -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=192.168.30.251"

JAVA_OPTIONS="$JAVA_OPTIONS -Djavax.management.builder.initial=weblogic.management.jmx.mbeanserver.WLSMBeanServerBuilder"

You must also enable this on the Administrative page.

domain -> Configuration -> general (Advanced) , usePlatformMBean , exportPlatformMBean

JBoss

Enter the following commands to enable JBoss to send JMX data. Change the hostname and IP to /etc/hosts to connect. The servername cannot be listed under 127.0.0.1

In /opt/jboss/bin/run.sh add #Setup jmx remoting

JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false"

JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false"

JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=8007"

Use the JBoss MBeanServerBuilder.

JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Djboss.platform.mbeanserver"

JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Djavax.management.builder.initial=org.jboss.system.server.jmx.MBeanServerBuilderImpl"

Use the jboss logmanager.

JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Djava.util.logging.manager=org.jboss.logmanager.LogManager"

JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dorg.jboss.logging.Logger.pluginClass=org.jboss.logging.logmanager.LoggerPluginImpl"

JBOSS_CLASSPATH="../lib/jboss-logmanager.jar"

GlassFish

Increase the monitoring to HIGH on the Web Admin page and enter the following commands to enable GlassFish v 3.1 to send JMX data.

In the domain configuration file /glassfish/domains/domain1/config/domain.xml find <java-config> and add:

-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false

-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false

Then find <admin-service> and add/modify:

<jmx-connector accept-all="true" port="8007" address="0.0.0.0" security-enabled="false" name="system" auth-realm-name="admin-realm" />

WebSphere 6.1

Enter the following commands for WebSphere 6.1.

Install the server

{ yum install compat-libstdc++-* libXp libXmu }

Run the server

{ /etc/init.d/webspherejmxserverNode01_was.init start }

Use the Python script ListPorts to get the admin port.

{ ./wsadmin.sh -conntype none -lang jython -profileName AppSrv01 -f /opt/ListPorts.py }

Log into the server

{ admin:admin }

Back to the CLI, disable security.

{

./wsadmin.sh -conntype NONE

wsadmin>securityoff

wsadmin>$AdminConfig save

}

Connect with the following script.

#!/bin/bash
