Adding and editing a JMX performance monitor

The JMX Performance Monitor allows you to monitor any server that supports JMX by requesting a single JMX performance counter the server supports and allows you to easily browse and add available counters to the monitoring list.

Note: This feature is available with WhatsUp Gold Premium, ProView, TotalView, and TotalView Plus Editions only. To update your license, visit the WhatsUp Customer Portal.

To add a new JMX performance monitor:

1. From the WhatsUp Gold web interface, go to Admin > Monitors. The Monitor Library dialog appears.
2. Click the Performance tab. The Performance Monitor list appears.
3. Click New. The Select Performance Monitor Type dialog appears.
4. Select JMX Object Monitor, then click OK. The Add JMX Performance Monitor dialog appears.
5. Enter or select the appropriate information:
   • Name. Enter a unique name for the monitor. This name displays in the Performance Monitor Library.
   • Description. Enter additional information for the monitor. This description displays next to the monitor name in the Performance Monitor Library.
   • Object Path/Attribute. Click the Browse button (...) to launch the JMX Browser which you can use to select the target device, domain/path, and attribute to monitor.
   • Port. Enter the port number WhatsUp Gold should use to communicate with the JMX object.
