Splunk_TA_jmx: server configuration

[ktn01]

Hello,

I have some difficulties to configure my first connection in "Splunk_TA_jmx":

Our WEB administrator says he can use the URL "service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://<host>:<port>/jmxrmi" in "jconsole" to connect to a java machine.

So I am trying to configure a server in "Splunk_TA_jmx" with the following parameters:

Destination App : Splunk_TA_jmx
Name            : test
JVM Description : my_test
Connection Type : rmi
Stub Source     : jndi
Host            : <host>
Port            : <port>
Lookup Path     : /jmxrmi
Username        : <user>
Password        : <password>
Server Interval : 30

But I get the message "Invalid parameter found in connection URL. Verify the provided connection configurations." when I try to add it.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong ?

Thanks

Christian

Hi @ktn01 

Have you installed the SSL certificate for connection? Mostly we get this error when credentials are wrong or an SSL issue.

These errors can also be observed in UI for one of the below cases.:

• The JMX is not enabled on a Java machine.
• You create the server with invalid server credentials.
• Your Splunk platform deployment is not able to reach the service where JMX is running.

If this helps your like will be appreciated. 😊

Hello,

The issue seems to be on REST API. You can edit directly the file "local_servers.conf" as a workarround.

A case is open on Splunk support.
