Monitoring JMX interfaces over SSH | ZBX_TCP_READ() timed out

[Bo12b]

Hey, I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to monitor JMX interfaces over SSH tunnels, I've successfully monitored JMX interfaces on my LAN, but I can't seem make it work over ssh I always get the Error ZBX_TCP_READ() timed out.

I'm also confused about the zabbix java gateway and the default port its using, how does it work? I know it listens on port 10052 on my zabbix server, do I have to create a Local ssh tunnel on the remote server and point to the java gateway?


For example :

JMX port on the remote server 12345 to my java gateway port on zabbix server
ssh user@zabbixServer -f -N -L 12345:localhost:10052

I also tried:

using any port on zabbix server ex: 10090 to connect to the JMX remote server port
ssh user@zabbixServer -f -N -R 10090:localhost:12345

Telneting the tunnel ports and the jmx port, all good


My current configurations
12345
Zabbix Server Configurations

Java Gateway configuration : zabbix_java_gateway.conf

LISTEN_IP = "127.0.0.1"
LISTEN_PORT = 10052
START_POLLERS = 5
TIMEOUT = 10

Zabbix Server Configuration : zabbix_server.conf

JavaGateway = 127.0.0.1
JavaGatewayPort = 10052
StartJavaPollers = 5



Remote Server

#Application Server

-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=12345
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false
-Djava.rmi.server.hostname = localhost [In this situation I'm not sure if I should use localhost or the Server ip]


#Zabbix Server Interface

JMX Interfaces

localhost DNS 10090


Tunnel

Forwarding the JMX port 12345 to port 10090 on Zabbix Server
ssh user@zabbixServer -f -N -R 10090:localhost:12345




Any help would be appreciated, thank you
