[collectd] Generic JMX plugin and JVM restart

[Bryan Varner]

I had this issue with JBoss (and GlassFish at another engagement). Our solution was to bounce Collectd as part of the CI. I didn’t like that solution either.


You may want to check out my (in development, but working) FastJMX plugin here:
https://github.com/bvarner/collectd-fast-jmx

It handles connections / deploy undeploy notifications very differently that the GenericJMX plugin does, and I’d welcome any feedback you may have!

My efforts the last week or so have been focused in the issue_5 branch, but I believe Master should work pretty well for most cases where GenericJMX was sufficient.

I’m currently dealing with a special case where I needed collectd to handle ~1200 metrics spread across 9 hosts, and the GenericJMX plugin just couldn’t do it. :-)

Regards,
-Bryan

I have to restart collectd for it to start working again. Some Exceptions in the logs are as below. Restarting collectd on every host with deploys would be a deal breaker.
