Apache Tomcat wizard configuration problem

[Frédéric GRANAT]

Hi,
I'm trying to configure the apache tomcat wizard with JMX (without agent on the monitoring host) .
I need the following informations :
Is my server remote-JMX-capable ?
Service URL
Tomcat username/password

About service URL, I saw in "How to monitor Apache Tomcat with NagiosXI" :

Code: Select all

service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://<host>:<port>/jmxrmi

Is it the correct url and where to find the port ?

Where to find these informations ?

This would depend on how you installed and configured Tomcat. Nagios XI provides a wizard for monitoring Tomcat, but the installation and configuration of Tomcat is out of scope of Nagios support. Having said that, you could run something like this to find the PID of your application:

Code: Select all

ps -ef | grep tomcat

or

Code: Select all

ps -ef | grep java

then check the ports:

Code: Select all

netstat -lnp | grep <PID>

where you substitute <PID> with the actual tomcat PID.

One my "test" tomcat box, I am using port 9090, so my service URL is:

Code: Select all

service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://192.168.x.x:9090/jmxrmi

Hope this helps.

Hi,
Thanks, but I'm running apache on Windows.
Could you please provide the same informations for that OS ?

Do you have JConsole installed on that windows machine? If so, you can connect to it as a process and you should be able to find the remote Service URL from that browser.

EDIT: I should mention that even if your server isn't currently remote-JMX-capable, you should be able to configure it to enable that. There are quite a few guides available for this, this one seems to be accurate to me.

=> No

Then you will need to do this (same one that swolf posted after reading his):

Code: Select all

It's the same process as long as the ports are available on the host and open in the windows firewall/network firewall path.
