Defining JMX-MBean Attribute Get Jobs

You can define a JMX-MBean Attribute Get (JMXB_JOB) job to query a JMX server for the value of an MBean attribute. The returned value is stored on the computer where the agent resides. You can specify a success pattern to determine the job's success or failure. If the returned attribute value matches the success pattern, the job completes successfully; otherwise, it fails.

Note: To run these jobs, your system requires CA WA Agent for UNIX, Linux, or Windows and CA WA Agent for Application Services.
