Title
Discover dynamic Mbeans -
Description
Foglight for JMX agent has been setup to monitor custom MBeans. The mbean object name has a property that dynamically changes every time the process restarts. This creates multiple topology objects and the number keeps growing over time. Is there a way to avoid this kind of scenario?
-
Cause
Foglight uses the Mbean ObjectName as a key to identify the object. Since there is a part of the Mbean's ObjectName which dynamically changes every time it restarts, it creates different topology objects to represent the Mbean instance. -
Resolution
WORKAROUND:
There is currently no workaround from Foglight at the moment. The Mbean's ObjectName should not have been designed as such to avoid this scenario in the first place.
STATUS:
Enhancement request number JMX-432 has been submitted to Development for consideration in a future release of Foglight for JMX Cartridge.
