[Xymon] jboss monitorin

[Andy Smith]

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback, good to hear you like it.

Regarding your questions, Memory is reported by JMX in bytes and this is 
converted in the tcl code to kbytes to avoid overflows in the integer 
arithmetic.

There is no Uptime bean, it is an attribute of the Runtime bean, I 
called it 'fake' because I wanted to treat it specially.  Are you saying 
something fails for some JVM?  Have they been running for a very long 
time, maybe uptime is overflowing?  Let me know the Java version and the 
JBoss version I'll have a look if I can replicate it here.

If you need to specify the JVM for xymon then it sounds like the script 
is still trying to run bbhostgrep instead of xymongrep, anything in the 
logs?.  There is a different shell wrapper for hobbit and xymon in the 
latest kit, and you need 0.1.3 of the tcl script.  Have a look at the 
tcl script starting at line 5961 for how I envisaged this would work, 
the key is finding XYMONHOME in the environment instead of BBHOME.  Let 
me know if you solve this please.

set XYMONCOMMS "xymon"
set XYMONSEARCH "xymongrep"
# inherit this from the environment or startup profile if its there
if { [info exists ::env(XYMONHOME) ] } {
   set XYMONHOME $::env(XYMONHOME)
} elseif { [info exists ::env(BBHOME) ] } {
   set XYMONHOME $::env(BBHOME)
   set XYMONCOMMS "bb"
   set XYMONSEARCH "bbhostgrep"
}
