Hello,
I am working on a project to collect data from the GenericJMX interface
Java plugin. It collects perfectly but my problem is that I only want
to monitor some of the MBeans and also have the ability to update
dynamically which MBeans it monitors. I have tried to HUP the process
with no success. Is there a method to dynamically insert MBean
configuration into the collectd process? Or is the only option to
restart the collectd process? The dilemma I face is collecting ALL the
data and then choosing which data to save and display. Or setting up a
process to restart the daemon every 24 hours to load the new conf file
changes. Has anyone else ran into this problem or found a solution for
this? Or could someone give some input on the viability of restarting
the process every day? Thanks in advance.
