Create Metric from result of JMX Operation

Hi,

I am working with an Apache AEM application (runs in sling). The vendor has jmx operations to be used for monitoring. I've read throught the documentation on JMX Monitoring (https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO41/Monitor+JMX+MBeans) and was easily able to setup a metric on an MBean Attribute but for some information we have to invoke an MBean operation to get the data we need for a health rule.

Is this possible without building an extension to call the mbean operation and inject the data? 

Thanks,

Mike

Anyone have any ideas? Or should I just create a support ticket?

Hello,

As far as I know it is not possible to define a jmx metric rule based on the result of an mbean invoke operation. I've already tried to setup such rule with the help of an expert from appdynamics services team and we never succeeded. It was on a 4.1 version but I'm pretty sure the 4.2 has the same limitation.

You should try to open a ticket on that issue just to be sure.

Hi Edouard,

Thank you for replying! We are also using a 4.1 on-prem controller. I'll probably create a machine agent extension to execute the operation and inject the result into the controller as a custom metric while this feature is unavailable.

Thanks,

Mike
