Configuring JMX Monitor

helsvell

Hi,

I am trying to set up JMX monitoring.  I am following the guide given here:

http://www.solarwinds.com/documentation/apm/docs/configuring_and_integrating_jmx.pdf?CMPSource=THW&CMP=REFDOM

I start the component monitoring wizard, select the JMX component monitor and select browse.  It does not show any of the Windows servers we are monitoring, just the firewalls and switches.  I believe that this may be due to the fact we are monitoring the servers using the windows agent.

So the issue is we want to monitor the servers using the agent, but also perform JMX monitoring which is not supported using the windows agent.  What options do we have to configure this?  Is it possible to monitor a node using both agent and agentless monitoring?

Many thanks,

Peter

While the Windows Agent does not support JMX, you can configure that application to poll agentlessly simply by editing the assigned application, expanding the 'Advanced' section, and changing 'Prefered Polling Method' from 'Agent' to 'Agentless'.
