You can use wildcards to define the JMX metric rules to get metrics for all the datasources: for instance in a JBoss you get get the active count property from the following mbean: jboss.as:subsystem=datasources,data-source=MyDatasource_01,statistics=pool When you define the metric rule you have to do it like this: Object name Match Patern:jboss.as:subsystem=datasources,*,statistics=pool Instance identifier: data-source Atibute:ActiveCount in the Object Name Match Patern you can even use the wildcard to replace several branches, i.e. if it were "jboss.as:subsystem=datasources,whatever=another_level,whatever=another_level,data-source=MyDatasource_01,statistics=pool" you could use "jboss.as:subsystem=datasources,*,statistics=pool". the Instance Identifier is the instanced element you want to see separated, in your case you will have something similar to: jboss.as:subsystem=datasources,data-source=MyDatasource_01,statistics=pool jboss.as:subsystem=datasources,data-source=MyDatasource_02,statistics=pool ... jboss.as:subsystem=datasources,data-source=MyDatasource_07,statistics=pool so you should use data-source as the instance identifier.
