[collectd] JVM statistics collection?

[Stephen Hillier]

I'm working on testing it now -- rough times. For some reason, I'm having a hell of a hard time getting 4.5.0 source to compile. I got a million errors, so I started with fresh download of 4.5 and started hitting compiler problems with libiptc. Several edits to source files libip6tc.c, utils_complain.c, mutlitmeter.c, I was finally able to get the tar ball to compile properly. Not sure why I'm seeing these problems when I'm using a stable release, but that's another puzzle.

Then I applied the JXM patch, which does apply successfully, but I cannot compile the source due to libtool errors (see attachments for output logs):

I'm guessing these errors should be addressed (unless they're unique to my systems):

1. (build from fresh source tarball v4.5) - see collectd-out-1.txt

This change to libip6tc.c fixed this error:

Line 134:
From: ((ntohl(a->in6_u.u6_addr32.....
To: ((ntohl(a->__in6_u.__u6_addr32....

This conforms to the naming conventions found in #include <netinet/in.h>



2. After typing 'make' again, I get to the next error:

Multimeter.c:89: error: ignoring return value of 'write', declared with attribute war_unused_result

I changed line 89
From: write();
To: status=write();



3. After typing 'make' for the third time: I get to a third error:L

utils_compain.c:52: error: format not a string literal and no format arguments
utils_compain.c:97: error: format not a string literal and no format arguments

I commented these logging function calls out just to get the compile working.

(See attachment collectd-45-compile.log)

That brings me to a point where I can try to apply the JMX patch.

4. I apply the JMX patch, and it completes successfully. Next I re-run configure with the new options to enable the jmx plugin, however the package will no longer build as the scripts seem to be broken. When I call make, it just barfs (see attachment collectd-45-jmxpatch-compile.log)

My initial take is that the patch broke libtool, but that's just a guess.

I'm not sure how to proceed without reading the patch file much more closely, which I'm working on now, but in case someone else sees the problem quickly, I'm sending this info out for others to see.

Thanks,
Steve.
