You're quite welcome!

I have found a reliable workaround for this issue. What I realized is that the check_jmx script on the NagiosXI machine would run just as well on the remote machine I was trying to monitor. I copied that and jmxquery.jar to the remote machine. I had to make a couple modifications. Normally, java is ...

Yes, that does look interesting, and I'll be reading through all of it shortly. His point about enabling JMX directly on the app is a good one. We're in azure, and so don't have to worry about external connections, so all the auth stuff is disabled, we just had to add this string to the end of our a...

Sorry, i didn't see that I had to hit another button after choosing the file. You hopefully have it now!

I've uploaded the profile.zip. As suggested previously, I realized there are two installs. I think this was one of the servers where the normal agent install failed. I quit the one specified in service and went to /usr/loacl/nagios/bin and started nrpe with the command nrpe -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/...
