Get JMX Operations defined in MBeans in a Splunk view.

[cralgomi]

Hi All,

I am probably missing something obvious here, but I have set up in the config.xml file a MBean defining its two exposed operations, I am now wondering how to get data from these particular operations back in a Splunk view (by the way, this MBean is not exposing any attributes).

Thanks in advance!

There is an example of invoking MBean operations in jmx_ta/bin/config/examples/config_operations_example.xml

<mbean domain="myAppDomain" properties="type=foo">

<!-- invoke operation with no arguments and write out result-->
<operation name="getSystemTime" outputname="systime" />

 <!-- invoke operation with int arguments and write out result-->
<operation name="doMultiply" outputname="multiplied">
  <parameter value="4" type="int" />
  <parameter value="6" type="int" />
</operation>

 <!-- invoke operation with several argument types and write out result-->
<operation name="concatentateArgs" outputname="concat">
  <parameter value="Hello" type="string" />
  <parameter value="World" type="string" />
  <parameter value="1.2" type="double" />
  <parameter value="true" type="boolean" />
</operation>

 <!-- invoke operation with no arguments and no result is returned-->
<operation name="someMethod"/>


</mbean>

Thanks a lot. | table ouputvarnname was the answer I was looking for.

Let's take this example :

Then :

index=foo mbean_domain=myAppDomain mbean_property_type=foo | table systime

I am aware of that example. What I am not sure is how to read from the outputname on a view.
