JMX monitor for xymon/big brother. This is version 0.00001 - it compiles, it does some useful stuff (I use it to monitor java systems at work), but it's still not 100% feature complete or easy to use. Useful for monitoring tomcats, jbosses, etc. TODO: - Rework the grammar to allow more interesting tests. - Handle errors properly - Allow comparison of retrieved values in parser. - Add a more verbose syntax than the current csv file - Add example entries for tomcat and jboss. Usage: Compile into a .jar file (eclipse: export as an executable jar file) jmxxymon.jar. See src/scripts/build.sh Use a wrapper script similar to: set -e wd=$(/bin/pwd) tmpdir=/tmp/jmxxmon-$$ mkdir $tmpdir cd $tmpdir java -jar jmxxymon.jar $BBHOME/etc/cfgfile for i in *.result; do bb xymonhost $i; done cd $wd rm -rf $tmpdir Call the script from hobbitlaunch.cfg. You'll probably wind up having one cfgfile per host or subsystem or whatever. Loop through them or have a hobbitlaunch.cfd entry for each config file. Config file. The config file is a comma separated format; lines starting with '#' are ignored. localhost,javatest,SystemLoadAverage,1099,java.lang,OperatingSystem,SystemLoadAverage,lessThan(5) Each field is as follows: hostName - Name of the host running the process to be monitored. It is either just the name, or of the form logicalName@realName, which will use the logicalName in the xymon display, but actually connect to realName. columnName - Name of column to be displayed in xymon. valueName - Name of value to be displayed in xymon portNumber - port running the jmx interface objectName - name of object containing the value to be displayed attributeName - attribute to be displayed test - optional test Running the program will create a file for each distinct logical host name of the form hostname-javatest.result. This file can then be given to xymon. The example above produced output like: status localhost.javatest green Sun Mar 14 12:38:55 GMT 2010 SystemLoadAverage: 1.38 At least when I ran it once. If load average increased, then the green would be replaced by red, and so xymon would display an alert. -----------------------------------------
