JMX monitoring

I was trying to set up JMX monitoring for our weblogic servers. I have followed as what is it described in the admin guide. But I am still getting an error like " please check your connection parameters"

The settings I have provided.

Port -8686 - which we have configured in weblogic

protocol - iiop (which is enabled in weblogic)

url path - weblogic.management.mbeanservers.runtime

No credentials - as we haven't set any credential for JMX in weblogic.

What are the steps which I can perform to troubleshoot this issue. Can it be some issue from Weblogic server side? How can I check weblogic JMX agent is running fine and accepting requests?

JMX is something very new to me and any help related to this will be much appreciated.

We have a breakout document that should help. Have you been able to successfully connect using JConsole? I'd also recommend double checking your configuration settings against those in the Administrators Guide as outlined here.

I was able connect and browse through MBeans yesterday. But now another issue!! I am not able to get the weblogic specific Mbeans. For example the Mbean- weblogic.management.mbeanservers.runtime.RuntimeServiceMBean. Even when I am browsing using "find processes, services", this is not shown. I guess some more configuration needs to be done on weblogic server side. Would anyone be able to guide me?

What I have observed that I may need to give "weblogic.management.mbeanservers.runtime" as URL path. But when I give this as path, it says please check the url path provided.

Hi dilu,

from the screenshots you posted I'm not sure you're connecting correctly. I'm able to connect to WebLogic server from SAM using IIOP protocol as you can see on my screenshots:

You may also use JConsole for diagnosing WebLogic connection issues:

update following command if needed and run from directory with JConsole.exe in cmd window on the SAM server:

jconsole.exe -J-Djava.class.path=../lib/jconsole.jar;../lib/tools.jar;"c:\Program Files (x86)\SolarWinds\Orion\APM\jmxbridge\lib\wljmxclient.jar" -J-Djmx.remote.protocol.provider.pkgs=weblogic.management.remote -debug

connect to your WebLogic server with following URL (just replace <IP> and <PORT> with your values) and appropriate username/password:

service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/iiop://<IP>:<PORT>/weblogic.management.mbeanservers.runtime

You should see connection window for a short time and should be able to browse your MBeans afterwards.

I have made better progress on it.. But still couldn't get to the end result.

When I used customized url - service:jmx:iiop://ngmlx476:14927/jndi/weblogic.management.mbeanservers.runtime, instead of the solarwinds suggested url ( service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/iiop://172.22.129.31:14927/weblogic.management.mbeanservers.runtime) it started giving a new error. It says "invalid service uri" ... and in the weblogic log files we can see the below lines

<12-04-30 15:33:03> <Warning> <Security> <BEA-090475> <Plaintext data for protocol GIOP was received from peer 172.22.129.29 - 172.22.129.29 instead of an SSL handshake.>

I feel we have1-way SSL enabled on it. Not sure how to overcome this? How can we make Solarwinds do an SSL query?
