apache MQ giving error in log file: nullpointerexception

Hi,

This is the only error I see, when I try running the active mq extension.

[pool-12-thread-1] 24 Nov 2014 06:28:41,026 ERROR ActiveMQMonitorTask - Error JMX-ing into the server :: localhost
java.lang.NullPointerException

Is there any other method by which I can monitor my apache mq data.

We have apache mq running as a wrapper service. But when I give javaagent in the wrapper config the mq does not start. 

Why is the extension not working?

Please also let me know what should I fill in the config.yml file. I have apache mq running in my locathost and port 1616 is enabled for jmx. There are no username and password.

How should I configure?

Thanks kumar,

I figured it out. I was giving the path of config.yml wrongly. Now the extension is working fine.

Hi Nagendra,

yes you could monitor as jvm and you should jmx in node dashboard if active mq startup script is properly configured with -javagent entry , if you have trouble in configuring -javaagent entry startup script you can start activemq as follows with agent:

shell> cd <activemq_install_dir>/bin

shell> java -javaagent:<agent_dir>/javaagent.jar -jar run.jar start

Regarding extension error, We would like to check basic settings in logs and machine agent version and will suggest to raise help ticket at help@appdynamics.com so the extension experts team will debug from there. Hope that is fine with you.

Can you  please send the following logs:

- zipped version of logs directory from <machineagent_dir>/logs paht and <machineagent_dir>/monitors/ApacheMQMonitor folder 

- after capturing logs above now change "<logger leve="info"/>>  info to debug in log4j.xml at <machineagent_dir>/conf/logging path and collect machineagent.log after running for 10 minutes and attach the logs in this post.

Regarding other query did you mean you have left user/.password values as blank in monitor.xml and config.yml file if so please provide and see how it goes with restart of machien agent.

Regards,

Arun
