Infinispan Server : How to enable JMX monitoring?

Question

I have an Infinispan Server, version 6.0.x, the one derived from JBoss 7.2, and it is working fine for caching.

However, when I try to monitor it by JMX I can't. This is URL I type in jconsole.bat :

service:jmx:remoting-jmx://MY.IP.ADDRESS.HERE:9999

But I get this error :

Exception in thread "VMPanel.connect" java.util.ServiceConfigurationError: javax.management.remote.JMXConnectorProvider: Provider org.jboss.remotingjmx.RemotingConnectorProvider could not be instantiated: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/jboss/logging/Logger

Maybe I should create some managed beans somewhere? How can I fix this?

Remark 1 : In the documentation they include the necearry configuration between <global></global>, but in my case the settings should respect JBoss Schema...

Remark 2 : I tried with JBoss 7.2, and it could show me graphs and so on, and by the way I used the same URL. The difference is that I used jconsole.bat of JBoss instead of Infinispan.

Please, any idea about the necessary configuration?

Thank you.

Answer 1

I'm a Windows 7 user, and this is the fix that worked for me. Open jconsole.bat for editting. At the top, turn on the echoing.

@echo on

Then go down and find this line

call :SearchForJars "%JBOSS_MODULEPATH%\system\layers\base\org\jboss\logging\main"

Insert the following line before it:

echo "%JBOSS_MODULEPATH%\system\layers\base\org\jboss\logging\main"

I'm not sure why that worked, but it did. If you get different ClassNotFound exceptions, try echo statements above the other jar searches.
