Background

This ZenPack allows JMX notifications to be captured as Zenoss events.

See ZenPacks.zenoss.ZenJMX for a ZenPack that allows polling of metrics from MBean attributes and operations.

Usage

To collect JMX notifications you must edit $ZENHOME/etc/zenjmxnotificationlistener.conf. This file must be used to specify which JMX agents to connect to, and what notifications to collect. After modifying this file you must run zenjmxnotificationlistener restart for the changes to be affected.

Upon installing the ZenPack a default zenjmxnotificationlistener.conf will be created with the following contents.

# Generic configuration
monitorName=localhost
heartbeatInterval=60
heartbeatTimeout=75
connectionRetryInterval=10

# Zenoss XML-RPC connection properties
# xmlRpcUrl is the zenhub url
xmlRpcUrl=http://localhost:8081/zport/dmd/ZenEventManager
xmlRpcUsername=admin
xmlRpcPassword=zenoss

# Each comma-delimited token in serverList must have at least a
# server.TOKEN.url= entry specified below.
#serverList=LOCAL_TOMCAT,LOCALHOST
serverList=LOCALHOST

# Properties where <TOKEN> matches one of the entries in the serverList property
# server.TOKEN.zenossDevice is REQUIRED
# server.TOKEN.url is REQUIRED
# server.TOKEN.scope is OPTIONAL and defaults to *:* or all notification mbeans
# server.TOKEN.username is OPTIONAL and defaults to null
# server.TOKEN.password is OPTIONAL and defaults to null
# server.TOKEN.attributeFilters is OPTIONAL, filter for attributes of interest

# example Definitions for a local Tomcat instance
#server.LOCAL_TOMCAT.zenossDevice=bixby
#server.LOCAL_TOMCAT.url=service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://10.204.210.40:11111/jmxrmi
#server.LOCAL_TOMCAT.scope=Catalina:type=RequestProcessor
#server.LOCAL_TOMCAT.attributeFilters=attribOne,attribTwo
#server.LOCAL_TOMCAT.username=zenjmxnl
#server.LOCAL_TOMCAT.password=GOAWAY!

server.LOCALHOST.zenossDevice=localhost
server.LOCALHOST.url=service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://localhost:54107/jmxrmi

The scope and attributeFilters properties are optional, and can be used to restrict the notifications captured from a given server. MBeanServerNotification type notifications are ignored by default as they are noisy and unlikely to be useful.
