Example: Monitor for Changes to a Specific MBean Attribute

Suppose that you want to set up continuous monitoring for changes to the cachesize attribute of the MBean named Config. The job filters the notifications the MBean sends by attribute. Each time the cachesize attribute changes, an alert named CHGA is sent.

AGENT APPAGENT
URL service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://localhost:9999/server
MBEAN 'DefaultDomain:index=1,type=Config' CONTINUOUS(CHGA)
ATTRIBUTESFILTER cachesize

Example: Monitor for Changes to Any MBean Attribute

Suppose that you want to set up continuous monitoring for changes to any attribute of the MBean named Config. Each time an attribute changes, an alert named CHGA is sent.

AGENT APPAGENT
URL service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://localhost:9999/server
