activeMQ monitoring using JMX



      we can use JMX to monitor our ActiveMQ ,first config the configuration of activemq

      

      <broker xmlns="http://activemq.apache.org/schema/core" useJmx="true" brokerName="localhost" dataDirectory="${activemq.base}/data">
          <managementContext>
               <managementContext connectorPort="2011"/><!-- jmxDomainName="my-broker"/>-->
          </managementContext>
          <!-- The transport connectors ActiveMQ will listen to -->
         <transportConnectors>
              <transportConnector name="openwire" uri="tcp://localhost:61616" />
         </transportConnectors>

      </broker>

      the jmsDomainName means The JMX domain name , and the default values if org.apache.activemq

      then we can coding start our activemq using this configuration , type in the console:

       activemq start xbean:/the/configuration/path

      and in the console we can see :

      INFO | JMX consoles can connect to service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://localhost:2011/jmxrmi

      then coding like this:

      public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
             JMXServiceURL url = new JMXServiceURL("service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://localhost:2011/jmxrmi");
             JMXConnector connector = JMXConnectorFactory.connect(url, null);
              connector.connect();
            MBeanServerConnection connection = connector.getMBeanServerConnection();
            ObjectName name = new ObjectName(
            //    "my-broker:BrokerName=localhost,Type=Broker");
                  "org.apache.activemq:brokerName=localhost,type=Broker");
             BrokerViewMBean mbean = (BrokerViewMBean) MBeanServerInvocationHandler
                 .newProxyInstance(connection, name, BrokerViewMBean.class, true);
             System.out.println("Statistics for broker " + mbean.getBrokerId() + " - " + mbean.getBrokerName());
             System.out.println("\n-----------------\n");
             System.out.println("Total message count: " + mbean.getTotalMessageCount() + "\n");
             System.out.println("Total number of consumers: " + mbean.getTotalConsumerCount());
            System.out.println("Total number of Queues: " + mbean.getQueues().length);
  
             for (ObjectName queueName : mbean.getQueues()) {
                       System.out.println(queueName);
                       QueueViewMBean queueMbean = (QueueViewMBean) MBeanServerInvocationHandler
                              .newProxyInstance(connection, queueName,
                       QueueViewMBean.class, true);
                       System.out.println("\n-----------------\n");
                       System.out.println("Statistics for queue " + queueMbean.getName());
                       System.out.println("Size: " + queueMbean.getQueueSize());
                       System.out.println("Number of consumers: " + queueMbean.getConsumerCount());
            }
       }

       Although, in many books ,they make the first letter of brokerName and Type as upper case, in fact , 

we should make the first letter of brokerName and Type as lower case, otherwise, it will throw an

exception like this:

       javax.management.InstanceNotFoundException: org.apache.activemq:BrokerName=localhost,Type=Broker
