Hi,

I am receiving the following error message in my inbox : Unable to initialize modular input "jmx" defined inside the app "Splunk_TA_jmx": Introspecting scheme=jmx: script running failed (exited with code 1).

I have Java jdk-11.0.2 and jre 1.8.0_92. The JAVA_HOME path is defined in /opt/splunk/etc/splunk-launch.conf : JAVA_HOME=/opt/data/jdk-11.0.2/bin/

The system's default JAVA_HOME is /usr/lib/jvm/jre/ .

When running the command ./splunk cmd /usr/bin/python /opt/splunk/etc/apps/Splunk_TA_jmx//bin/jmx.py --scheme I receive the following error message:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/xml/bind/JAXBContext

at java.base/java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:521)
... 5 more

The question is, where do I get JAXBContext from, where do I place it and what should I point the CLASSPATH variable to, in order for the add-on to work?

Assuming you've got your java installed and the path setup correctly.

Go here:
https://javaee.github.io/jaxb-v2/
Download the standalone distribution
unzip that directory
copy all the .jar files to .../jms_ta/bin/lib/
restart splunk
