Hi,

I'm trying to set up a domain configuration with AS7. I'm setting up a domain controller on one host and a host controller running two servers on another host. I only changed some minor properties of the default domain configuration.

The domain is running. I can access the console webapp and see the servers. I can deploy an application and so far everything is fine.

Now I'm doing load tests and I want to see the impact on the two servers. Because the monitoring functions in console webapp are very basic I would like to monitor the two servers (started and controlled by the host controller) by jmx with jconsole and later perhaps with nagios.

I'm locking for a way to tell the servers to enable JMX but I can't find out how.

This is my host.xml:

<host xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:1.1"

      name="domain1">

    <management>

        <security-realms>

            <security-realm name="PropertiesMgmtSecurityRealm">

                <authentication>

                    <properties path="mgmt-users.properties" relative-to="jboss.domain.config.dir"/>

                </authentication>

            </security-realm>

        </security-realms>

        <management-interfaces>

            <native-interface interface="management" port="1999"/>

        </management-interfaces>

    </management>

    <domain-controller>

    <remote host="192.168.213.129" port="9999"/>

    </domain-controller>

    <interfaces>

        <interface name="management">

            <inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address.management:192.168.213.129}"/>

        </interface>

        <interface name="public">

           <inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address:192.168.213.129}"/>

        </interface>

    </interfaces>

     <jvms>

        <jvm name="default">

          <heap size="64m" max-size="128m"/>

        <jvm-options>

            <option value="-Djava.awt.headless=true"/>

        </jvm-options>

       </jvm>

     </jvms>

    <servers>

        <server name="server-one" group="main-server-group">

            <!-- server-one inherits the default socket-group declared in the server-group -->

            <jvm name="default">

              <jvm-options>

                    <!-- Try to fix LogManager problems when using jmx -->

                  <option value="-Djava.util.logging.manager=org.jboss.logmanager.LogManager"/>

                  <option value="-Dorg.jboss.logging.Logger.pluginClass=org.jboss.logging.logmanager.LoggerPluginImpl"/>

                  <option value="-Djboss.boot.server.log.dir=/opt/jboss_HC/domain/log"/>

                    <!-- JMX options -->

                  <option value="-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote"/>

                  <option value="-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=9991"/>

                  <option value="-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false"/>

                  <option value="-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false"/>

              </jvm-options>

           </jvm>

        </server>

        <server name="server-two" group="main-server-group" auto-start="true">

            <!-- server-two avoids port conflicts by incrementing the ports in

                 the default socket-group declared in the server-group -->

            <socket-binding-group ref="standard-sockets" port-offset="150"/>

            <jvm name="default">

                <heap size="64m" max-size="256m"/>

            </jvm>

        </server>

        <server name="server-three" group="other-server-group" auto-start="false">

            <!-- server-three avoids port conflicts by incrementing the ports in

                 the default socket-group declared in the server-group -->

            <socket-binding-group ref="ha-sockets" port-offset="250"/>

        </server>

    </servers>

</host>

I tried to enable JMX by setting vm-props in the server configuration section. This throws errors with the LogMananager inititialization at startup of the server. I found several posting about LogManager problems when enabling JMX in JBoss 6 but no solution.

Is there a way to enable JMX for all servers (not only the host/domain controller prozess)? If not, what would be the prefered way to get this informations (memory, threads, load, session count...) in a way that monitoring tools like nagios can use them?

PS: JMX in standalone mode is no problem.

Thank you in advance.
