Adding JMX Assets for Discovery
In order to monitor JMX assets, before discovering the JMX assets you must configure the Filter File. The Filter File is an .xml file that contains domains and mbeans. After you specify a domain, you can use a wildcard (*) to retrieve all mbeans within the domain. The format of the Filter File is the following:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<jmxfilter id ="testFilter">
<domain id="java.lang">
<mbeanType>Runtime</mbeanType>
<mbeanType>Memory</mbeanType>
<mbeanType>OperatingSystem</mbeanType>
</domain>
<domain id="Catalina">
<mbeanType>WebModule</mbeanType>
<mbeanType>BundleWebResourceRoot</mbeanType>
</domain>
<domain id="com.softwareag.events.routing">
<mbeanType>EventTypes</mbeanType>
</domain>
<domain id="com.sun.management">
<mbeanType>*</mbeanType>
</domain>
</jmxfilter>
