Description

The JMX Sensor is used to gather several information provided by the Java Management Extenstion (JMX). This information is represented by objects called MBeans (for Managed Bean) which can contain any kind of information (e.g.: system-load, up-time, thread-count, classes loaded, server-version, ...).

For a detailed instruction about the configuration of the JMX sensor see <TODO> Agent Configuration: Sensor type definition.

The charting view comprises two parts. It is the chart itself which is located in the upper part and an area containing information about the charted MBean attribute located in the lower part of the view. The information in the lower part should be self-explanatory.

Due to the fact that a MBean attribute can contain any possible data it is sometimes necessary to set a appropriate plotting type otherwise the chart can be difficult to interpret. The type can be changed in the Plot as.. menu located under the Preferences icon in the upper right corner of the view. The correct plotting type will be set automatically for many common MBean attributes.
