Running JMX commands in Windows

If you are monitoring a JMX application with a Windows Agent, you can get access to the same troubleshooting tools that are available on Linux.

If java is in your path, from a command prompt you should be able to run:

java -Xms50m -Xmx200m -classpath "%ProgramFiles%\Datadog\Datadog Agent\files\jmxfetch\jmxfetch-0.7.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar" org.datadog.jmxfetch.App --check tomcat.yaml --conf_directory "C:\ProgramData\Datadog\conf.d" --log_level DEBUG --reporter console [collect, list_everything, list_collected_attributes, list_matching_attributes, list_not_matching_attributes, list_limited_attributes, help]

Make sure that the JMXFetch version is the same as the one that ships with your version of the Agent.

Here is a subset of the output from the list_matching_attributes command:

java -Xms50m -Xmx200m -classpath "%ProgramFiles%\Datadog\Datadog Agent\files\jmxfetch\jmxfe
tch-0.7.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar" org.datadog.jmxfetch.App --check tomcat.yaml --conf_directory "C:\ProgramData\Datad
og\conf.d" --log_level DEBUG --reporter console list_matching_attributes
Log location is not set, not logging to file
