Hi, jboss doesn't use standard jmx protocol but it's own remoting protocol. I remember working around it by taking jboss-client.jar from jboss and rebuilding jmxsh.jar. It also required a bit of a code change to get jmxsh use it. At the end I abandoned the idea of using this approach because the remoting client seemed to have a memory leak, using up all the heap space - basically the monitoring was killing jboss apps.
Have a look at Jolokia https://jolokia.org/ It should allow you to query JMX over HTTP.

I'm trying to set up jmxstat from xymonton.org to monitor information about JBoss 7.1 on 64-bit Oracle Linux 6.7 with Java 1.7.0_75. I have followed the instructions for both the client and server side. The jmxstat test appears on the Xymon server and is updating every 5 minutes as expected.
I'm continuously getting the error:
myclient.mydomain.com JMX - connection failed for JVM
I don't know enough about Java or JBoss to know where to start looking.
The instructions for jmxstat say this:
"The JVM will need to be restarted with additional options that enable the JMX module and define the port & credentials."
What additional options are needed and where are these configured?
The admin port is 9999 and netstat shows that it's listening.
I did use the add-user.sh script to create the username and password in the mgtm-users.properties file for JBoss.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
