check_jmx
Updated version of the original check_jmx plugin fixed to support values larger than an Integer could provide. There are no other changes.
Example usage (where $hostname and $port are the hostname and port to check):
./check_jmx -U service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://$hostname:$port/jmxrmi -O java.lang:type=Memory -A HeapMemoryUsage -K used -I HeapMemoryUsage -J used -vvvv -w 4248302272 -c 5498760192
Original Description:
Java JMX Nagios plugin enables you to monitor JMX attributes in Nagios.
As soon as JMX embedded in Java 5, any Java process may expose parameters to be monitored using JMX interface,
look http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/management/agent.html and http://java.sun.com/jmx for details
In Java version <5 it is still possible to expose JMX interface using third party libraries
To see what can be monitored by JMX, run /bin/jconsole.exe and connect to
the host/port you setup in your Java process.
Some examples are:
* standard Java JMX implementation exposes memory, threads, OS, garbage collector parameters
* Tomcat exposes multiple parameters - requests, processing time, threads, etc..
* spring framework allows to expose Java beans parameters to JMX
* your application may expose any attributes for JMX by declaration or explicitly.
* can monitor localhost or remote processes
Includes Munin plugin for JMX as well.
Example usage (where $hostname and $port are the hostname and port to check):
./check_jmx -U service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://$hostname:$port/jmxrmi -O java.lang:type=Memory -A HeapMemoryUsage -K used -I HeapMemoryUsage -J used -vvvv -w 4248302272 -c 5498760192

Graph should shows in GBs not in Bytes. It is more easy to read the Graph. Remember not everyone is a technical person.

This plugin is great. I will mention that the doc I found that shows how to install it is out of date. ( https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagiosxi/docs/Monitoring-JMX-with-Nagios-XI.pdf?_ga=2.175104545.226851872.1496153715-1369431108.1490715442 )
But, once running, it gives you pretty much anything you could need. We've gone from kind of flying blind, to being instantly aware of any potential issues with our many java instances. Thanks to the dev!

May I know, how to trust a SSl certificate for jmx monitoring in nagios server

Make this local, and SLL the nrpe, my only thought pabloluna.

This is a wonderfull plugin and I have used for three years in order to check JVM parameters. I have a recent question. We can encrypt JMX traffic like this: https://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.10/adminguide/radminjmxenablepwdssl.html from the application server.
But I dont find any mode to make a client connection with check_jmk plugin using SSL. Is this possible? Thank you.

MessageCount does not report the proper messages in a topic.
Synopsis:
MessageCount parameter returns 0. Then....Start hermes and connect to the same topic. If Heremes shows 6 messages in the topic, now run check_jmx and it will show 6 messages.
Now, connect Hermes on another machine (This is now the second instance of hermes) and connect it to the same topic. You now have two versions of heremes dispaying 6 messages. Now run check_jmx, and it will say that there are 12 messages.
Close both instances of hermes, and run check_jmx and it will now show 0 messages. This is crazy.
Took a long time to figure this out.

I had to declare a single command for each attribute i wanted to monitor. But i have 210 jmx checks to monitor.
So, after having tests about how to template jmx checks, finally syabru nagios plugin made it.
What i obtained with this "check_jmx" plugin with this setup :
- nrpe host client :
command[test_check_jmx]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_jmx -U service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://localhost:$ARG1$/jmxrmi -O org.apache.camel:context=$ARG2$/mainContext,type=$ARG3$,name=\"$ARG4$\" -A $ARG5$ -w $ARG6$ -c $ARG7$
- nagios nrpe server :
./check_nrpe -H 10.20.0.11 -u -c test_check_jmx_dcd_failures -a 10010 satais-esb1 processors threadProcessor FailuresHandled 1 10

I really like this plugin. It works well once you get the performance data bit added.
However, I'm hitting a problem which isn't necessarily an issue with the plugin but I'm putting it out there because I can't find a resolution at the moment.
I can be monitoring away happily for my application running in Jboss AS4 and checks are working fine and I'm getting performance data graphs etc. Then I restart my application and my service checks stop working, reporting that the checks that were working perfectly well previously now can't find any registered MBeans. The error is something along the lines of InstanceNotFound and Mbean not registered.
The weird thing is, if I fire up jconsole and go to the MBeans tab, all the mbeans are there and soon after my check_jmx service checks start working! But they won't work until I fire up jconsole and access the MBeans tab.
Que?

If you need perf data for your nagios then you could use this script. I have combined other things mentioned in past reviews and added little sed magic to format perf data in correct way.

I am having some issue executing an operation via JMX
./check_jmx -U service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://127.0.0.1:47520/rmi -O "java.lang:type=Threading" -o findDeadlockedThreads
Anyone have any idea how I can programmatically monitor this operation to detect a threadlock ?

This is an old version. If you want this to work with nrpe, you must have the following: {noformat}
#!/bin/sh
#
# Nagios JMX plugin.
#
JAVA_CMD=`which java`
if [ -z $JAVA_CMD ]
then
if [ -x $JAVA_HOME/bin/java ]
then
JAVA_CMD=$JAVA_HOME/bin/java
else
echo JMX CRITICAL - java not found.
exit 2
fi
fi
DIR=`dirname $0`
$JAVA_CMD -jar $DIR/check_jmx.jar "$@"
{noformat}
as your check_jmx. Otherwise nrpe will not be able to find java.

The current check_jmx shell script won't return information to the performance gathering subsystem in Nagios. Add-ons like PNP4nagios aren't able to pick up the returned values without the proper output.
I offer this little hack...
RDIR=`dirname $0`
OUTPUT=`java -cp $RDIR/jmxquery.jar org.nagios.JMXQuery $@`
EXIT_STATUS=$?
STATUS=`echo $OUTPUT`
VALUE=`echo $OUTPUT | awk '{print $NF}'`
echo "$STATUS | $VALUE"
exit $EXIT_STATUS

I'm working on using check_jmx over NRPE. I'm sure the issue has something to do with the limits on data passed between check_nrpe and the remote nrpe daemon. I use NRPE with the perl-based check_multi plug-in and have to increase the data buffer sizes in the C code itself. I'll write again if I have success in getting check_jmx working with NRPE...

Looks like a good start, but it is missing some informations. There is no way I can make it work with NRPE, even if I run it ok directly in my shell account :
