Trouble with JMX

[shandman]

Here is the error I am getting. I've tried looking through the python script to see where it is calling that. I am not a python guy, and am having a difficult time. I have also included the config.xml jmxservers that i have configured.

This error :

The root config object(JMXPoller) failed to initialize, stanza

most likely means that your configuration XML is malformed.

i tried replacing all mbean domain="java.lang" with mbean domain="*"
didn't work

The bin/config/examples/config_notifications.xml file is just an example I used to show the general structure of this XML configuration.

Thank you so much! Here is a snapshot from my config.xml . are you saying i need to configure the config_notifications.xml ? in my config, do I need to adjust all the mbean settings?

[martin_mueller]

Here's a full example from bin/config/examples/config_notifications.xml (indenting added by me):

<jmxpoller>
  <formatter className="com.dtdsoftware.splunk.formatter.TokenizedMBeanNameQuotesStrippedFormatter" />
  <!-- Connect to a JVM via the remote JMX interface -->
  <jmxserver host="10.1.1.1" jvmDescription="tomcat" jmxport="1234" jmxuser="fred" jmxpass="secret">
    <mbean domain="myAppDomain" properties="type=foo">
      <!-- Add a notification listener to this MBean -->
      <notificationListener />
    </mbean>
  </jmxserver>
</jmxpoller>

[martin_mueller]

Look again. The general schema of these files looks like this (from memory, spelling and details may vary):

<jmxpoller>
  <jmxserver lots="of" attributes="here">
    <mbean even="more" attributes="here" />
    <mbean even="more" attributes="here" />
    ...
  </jmxserver>
<jmxpoller>

Without the closing tags this XML wouldn't be valid.

[shandman]

no? the example files all had this format. I did not see mbeans there?

[martin_mueller]

Do those <jmxserver> tags contain mbeans and have closing tags?
