AppDynamics monitoring with AMQ 7.0.1

Question

I am using the ActiveMQ extension of AppDynamics. It is good to start. With JMXRemote(enabled in artemis.profile) it is OK. But, I want it from localhost. JMX is enabled by default for localhost for AMQ. AMQ management console use jmx internally and it works without JMXRemote enabled. What service URL jolokia use internally to connect using JMX from localhost? I have tryed with following URL:

serviceUrl: "service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://:1099/jmxrmi"

Answer 1

The first step is to add a username and password in the etc/users.properties file. For most purposes, it is ok to just use the default settings provided out of the box. For this, just uncomment the following line:

admin=admin,admin,manager,viewer,Operator, Maintainer, Deployer, Auditor, Administrator, SuperUser

Then, you must bypass credential checks on BrokeViewMBean by adding it to the whitelist ACL configuration. You can do so by replacing this line:

org.apache.activemq.Broker;getBrokerVersion=bypass

with this:

org.apache.activemq.Broker=bypass

In addition to being the correct way, it also enables several different configuration options (eg: port, listen address, etc) by just changing the file org.apache.karaf.management.cfg on broker's etc directory.

Please keep in mind that JMX access is made through a different JMX connector root in this case: it uses karaf-root instead of jmxrmi, which was previously used in the older method. It also uses port 1099 by default, instead of 1616.

Therefore, the uri should be

service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://<host>:<port>/karaf-root
