Nagios Support Forum

Hi,
I have downloaded check_jmx nagios plugin from Nagios Exchange and followed readme.txt for installation
http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Pl ... mx/details
When I tried to execute check_jmx I've got the following message.
# ./check_jmx -U service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://localhost:8686/jmxrmi -O java.lang:type=Memory -A HeapMemoryUsage -K used
JMX CRITICAL Invalid credentials specified for administrative user

Where I need to configure credentials?

Thanks

hello Westernuniv,

As Swilkerson says belowIt seems as though the check_jmx plugin does not have the ability to add credentials you could try this:

-username

monitorRole jmx username

-password

monitorRole jmx password

Are the values you are looking for, example:
This was found here:

There are a few variations of check_jmx hope this helps.

I'm not really familiar with this plugin or JMX but I did download it and look at the help file and it doesn't look like it has the ability to change credentials.

However, looking at this document
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/doc ... ccessFiles
it looks like you can set the credentials in a file

I did a search from google and got suggestions to add following JVM options to glassfish server to disable password authentication, it didn’t help.
-Djava.rmi.server.hostname=<hostname>
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.local.only=false

Then I downloaded the one suggested by slansing and used glassfish admin credentials, it worked.
Thanks guys!

Excellent, glad it worked out.
