Hi All,

Is anyone aware of any ansible modules that could be used to invoke jmx operations on a java/jboss application?

Cheers,

Simon J

No but you can probably run a command line program to do so using `script` or `shell` modules.

Not tried it, but it looks like there’s something called jmxquery you could maybe use: see [https://blog.outlyer.com/introducing-jmxquery-to-monitor-java-via-python](https://blog.outlyer.com/introducing-jmxquery-to-monitor-java-via-python)

All the best,

Jon

Hi Jon,

Thanks for the update. Do we need JDK to run the jmxquery tool or JRE is enough?

Cheers,  
Joseph

No idea if you need a jdk or a jre - I’ve not used that tool myself, just looked like something that you could use to query jmx from python.

It doesn’t mention needing a jdk, so I’d try installing it and see if it works for you.  
All the best,  
Jon
