I am working with support on this issue - but I wanted to appeal to the community as well in case any users have a above average understanding of monitoring via jmx.
Below is a description of my issue. Any assistance would be appreciated.
1. Go to the platform that contains the JVMs
2. From “Tools” I select “New Server”
3. I name the server
4. Select Sun JVM 1.5
5. Input the Install Path
6. Click OK
7. I am brought to the General Properties section to finish up the configuration
8. Update the jmx.url as required
9. Remove the user “system” (we don’t use authentication)
10. Click OK
11. Error received: “The configuration has not been set for this resource due to : Invalid configuration: Error retrieving value: ObjectName not found [java.lang:type=Threading]: javax.management.InstanceNotFoundException: java.lang:type=Threading is not registered.”
At this point the JVM is not being monitored – although the auto-discovery of Garbage Collectors is 100% accurate (ie. it identified the correct Garbage Collectors, but is not gathering metrics for them).
Now the work-around I found……
1. Launch jconsole.exe
2. Connect to the JVM using the same jmi.url as I use with Hyperic
3. Jconsole connects properly and starts pulling metrics.
4. Shutdown jconsole
5. Go back into Hyperic
6. Edit the Sun JVM 1.5 server properties
7. Make no changes
8. Click OK
9. Go to each service individually and do the same thing (simply click edit – make no changes – save)
While the work around works it is taking a tremendous amount of time to set up JVM monitoring.
