Monitoring Java Applications

[Peter Franca]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to understanding better how JMX monitoring works on zabbix.
I am using Ubuntu 18.04
I have installed Zabbix Java Gateway package using this command <apt-get install zabbix-java-gateway> and apparently it was suppose to come with two files (startup.sh and shutdown.sh) with it so I could make my own modification to get it working on Zabbix frontend.

I have looked up my whole box and I can't find these files so I am stuck. Is there anything else to do? Do I need to create these files manually? Did this package change and now we don't need the files anymore?

I am reading zabbix documentation and seems that we can compile the package. I was having a look on the files that come with the package complied and the startup.sh and shutdown.sh are not in there too.
I am clueless!
Has anyone here had the same issue?

This is the zabbix documentation link where I am at. https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...jmx_monitoring

Thanks all!
Peter Franca

If you installed using a package, these two files(startup.sh and shutdown.sh) are unnecessary.
The start and stop of zabbix_java_gateway is described in the following file.

/etc/init.d/zabbix-java-gateway

Atsushi Hey,
Thanks for your reply but I am suppose to put these info into the startup.sh

-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=12345

So I have placed all these lines at the end of the /etc/init./zabbix-java-gateway and it didn't work. Do you know if I need to create a configuration file for it? any idea?
Thanks,

If you want to add Java related parameters, please enable JAVA_OPTIONS setting in the following file.
