JMX (Active)

The JMX Active Monitor allows you to monitor any server that supports JMX by requesting one or more JMX attributes the server supports and allows you to easily browse and add available attributes to the monitoring list.

Provide a unique name and description for the monitor, then configure the following:
- Port. Enter the port number on the server that WhatsUp Gold should use to communicate with the JMX service.
- Use SSL with RMI Registry. Enable this option to use the JMX active monitor secured by SSL.
Click Add to launch the JMX Credentials dialog.
Enter the IP address or host name of the target device to browse. You can also click the Browse button (...) to select a device from the device list.
Ensure the Port and Use SSL with RMI Registry settings reflect your selections made in the previous dialog.
If needed, select an existing JMX credential from the list or click the Browse button (...) to access the Credentials Library, then create a new one.
Click OK to proceed to the JMX Browser which you can use to select the target device, domain/path, and attribute(s) to monitor. The monitor configuration dialog should now display the attributes you selected in the JMX Browser.
Select one or more attributes, then click Configure to launch the Comparison Definition dialog.
Note: Multiple attributes can be selected and configured at once as long as they are of the same type. You can also select multiple attributes, then click Copy to configure multiple comparison types and values for those attributes simultaneously using the same monitor.
Specify the Comparison Type and Comparison Value for the selected attribute(s).
Click OK to return to the monitor configuration dialog.
Repeat procedure steps as needed to configure comparison settings for other attributes to be monitored.
Click OK to save the monitor.
