Defect ID

Known Issue

JMX-435 Oracle JDK 7 has been fully supported since 5.9.6 release, while the rest JDK 7 is still partially supported.
JMX-433 The JMX Agent fails to collect MBean data from WebSphere servers, when Admin Security is enabled.
JMX-399 Due to incompatibilities between IBM and Oracle Hotspot JVMs, the JMX Agent cannot monitor WebSphere 6.1.
JMX-369 When connecting to a JBoss server using Local Process discovery, errors may occur when collecting JSR77 statistics because these statistics require the jboss-management.jar file to be located in the JMX agent's classpath. Local Process discovery cannot determine that this .jar file is required.
Workaround: The agent configuration must be updated manually after it has been created.
JMX-211 If multiple JMX agents are deployed to a single Agent Manager, and are connected to different application servers, the agents may fail when one of the application servers restarts.
Workaround: Deploy only JMX agents for a single type of application server to a single Agent Manager instance. That is, do not deploy JMX agents that monitor WebLogic and WebSphere (for example) to the same Agent Manager.
JMX-68 When an MBean attribute has been collected as a "single value" and is then converted to be collected as a metric, Foglight logs an error message indicating that it could not convert the value persisted. This does not affect collection of the attribute as a metric. It indicates that the previous value that was stored as a property is not incorporated into the metric.

JMX-9

Foglight for JMX supports Foglight Federation with the following known behaviors:

  1. JMX Agents can only be created on the Federated Children.

  2. Defined metric types are not correctly synchronized from Federated Children to the Federation Master. On the Federation Master, metrics are not displayed taking the correct metric type into account.

  3. User-defined information on key metrics and metric properties is not synchronized between Federated Children and the Federation Master. It is recommended that all key metrics and metric properties be defined on the Federation Master.

  4. Creating JMX servers with the same name and server model on two (or more) Federated Children results in the JMX servers being merged on the Federation Master. If this is not the desired effect, ensure that all defined JMX Server Names are unique across all federated Foglight Management Servers.
