How to enable JMX on jBoss 7.x so that Zabbix can monitor it?

[tmcleod]

Hello,

We are using jBoss AS 7.1. I have tried to enable JMX by adding the parameters below to standalone.conf which is sourced by standalone.sh. When I start jBoss I receive the error message shown below.

Searching the net reveals that this way of enabling JMX worked with older versions of jBoss (e.g. 4.x and 5.x). However, it seems to not work with version 7.x.

Anyone able to tell me how to enable JMX on jBoss 7.x?

Thanks,
Trevor

Enabling JMX on older versions of jBoss required setting these parameters:

-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=10052 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=true -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.local.only=false

Doing so on jBoss 7.x results in this message upon startup:

Did you ever find the solution to this?

Does anyone at zabbix know the answer?
