Accessing Custom MBeans in JBOSS ON Server

[nsyed4]

I have JON agent, JON Server and a custom MBean Server running. The JON agent and custom MBean Server are using the same JRE. I want to see my MBeans on the JON Server web Administration console as a resource under my agent name but I am not seeing it. I also tried adding the MBean Server manually as a resource but I get the error:
An unexpected error occurred in the Agent. Failed to add resource with type [JMX Server] and parent resource id [500050]. - Cause: org.rhq.core.clientapi.agent.PluginContainerException:The JMX plugin does not support manual addition of 'JMX Server' resources.

Can someone please help me with this.

Thanks.

Hi,

In order to monitor/manage custom MBeans using JON, you'll need to create a custom JON plugin that extends the base JMX plugin that ships with JON. There is an example of a simple custom JMX plugin checked into RHQ SVN here:

http://svn.rhq-project.org/repos/rhq/trunk/etc/custom-jmx-plugin/

You can use that as a starting point. You will probably not even need to write any Java classes; when you extend the base JMX plugin, most things can be defined declaratively in the plugin descriptor.

For docs on writing custom plugins, see:

https://docs.jbosson.redhat.com/confluence/display/JON2/AMPS
and:

http://support.rhq-project.org/display/RHQ/RHQ+Plugin+Community
Let me know how you make out.
