zuazonode-jmx
Node.js bridge library to communicate with Java applications through JMX.
Requirements
- Tested with node
>= 0.10. - Java version
6or higher. node-java: See its installation instructions
Installation
$ npm install jmxUsage examples
var jmx = require("jmx");
client = jmx.createClient({
host: "localhost", // optional
port: 3000
});
client.connect();
client.on("connect", function() {
client.getAttribute("java.lang:type=Memory", "HeapMemoryUsage", function(data) {
var used = data.getSync('used');
console.log("HeapMemoryUsage used: " + used.longValue);
// console.log(data.toString());
});
client.setAttribute("java.lang:type=Memory", "Verbose", true, function() {
console.log("Memory verbose on"); // callback is optional
});
client.invoke("java.lang:type=Memory", "gc", [], function(data) {
console.log("gc() done");
});
});client = jmx.createClient({
service: "service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://localhost:3000/jmxrmi"
});You can check the node-java documentation to learn how to work with java objects in node.js.
Documentation
jmx.createClient(options)
Returns a Client object.
options
options is a hash table with the following values:
service- The full service URL string, with host, port, protocol and urlPath included. For example"service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://localhost:3000/jmxrmi".host- Hostname to connect to (defaults to"localhost").port- JMX port number to connect to.protocol- Protocol to use (defaults to"rmi").urlPath- JMX URL Path (defaults to"/jndi/{protocol}://{host}:{port}/jmx{protocol}").username- JMX authentication username.password- JMX authentication password.
Client.connect()
Connects to the JMX server. Emits connect event when done.
Client.disconnect()
Disconnects from the JMX server. Emits disconnect event when done.
Client.getAttribute(mbean, attribute, callback)
Returns an attribute from a MBean.
mbean- MBean query address as string. For example "java.lang:type=Memory".attribute- Attribute name as string.callback(attrValue)
Client.getAttributes(mbean, attributes, callback)
Returns an attribute list from a MBean.
mbean- MBean query address as string. For example "java.lang:type=Memory".attributes- Attribute names as an array of strings.callback(attrValue)
Client.getDefaultDomain(callback)
Returns the default domain as string.
callback(domainName)
Client.getDomains(callback)
Returns an array of domain names.
callback(domainsArray)
Client.getMBeanCount(callback)
Returns total the number of MBeans.
callback(mbeanCount)
Client.invoke(mbean, methodName, params, [signature,] [callback])
Invokes a MBean operation.
mbean- The MBean query address as string. For example"java.lang:type=Memory".methodName- The method name as string.params- The parameters to pass to the operation as array. For example[ 1, 5, "param3" ].signature(optional) - An array with the signature of the params. Sometimes may be necessary to use this if class names are not correctly detected (gives a NoSuchMethodException). For example[ "int", "java.lang.Integer", "java.lang.String" ].callback(returnedValue)
Client.listMBeans(callback)
Lists server MBeans. Callback returns an array of strings containing MBean names.
Client.on(event, callback)
Adds a listener for the especified event.
events
connectdisconnecterror- Passes the error as first parameter to the callback function.
Client.setAttribute(mbean, attribute, value, [className,] [callback])
Changes an attribute value of the MBean.
mbean- The MBean query address as string. For example"java.lang:type=Memory".attribute- The attribute name as string.value- The attribute value.className(optional) - The attribute java className. Sometimes may be necessary to use this if value type is not correctly detected (gives a InvalidAttributeValueException). For example"java.lang.Long".callback()(optional)
Error handling
Errors are not printed to the console by default. You can catch them with something like the following:
client.on("error", function(err) {
// ...
});Debugging
You can enable debugging and error printing to console using NODE_DEBUG environment variable:
$ NODE_DEBUG="jmx" node [...]Testing
See TESTING.md.
