ActiveMQ XML Integration

Overview

Get metrics from ActiveMQ XML in real time to:

  • Visualize and monitor ActiveMQ XML states.
  • Be notified about ActiveMQ XML failovers and events.

Setup

Installation

The ActiveMQ XML check is included in the Datadog Agent package, so you don’t need to install anything else on your servers.

Configuration

Follow the instructions below to configure this check for an Agent running on a host. For containerized environments, see the Containerized section.

Host

To configure this check for an Agent running on a host:

  1. Edit activemq_xml.d/conf.yaml, in the conf.d/ folder at the root of your Agent’s configuration directory with your stats url. See the sample activemq_xml.d/conf.yaml for all available configuration options.

    Note: The ActiveMQ XML integration can potentially emit custom metrics, which may impact your billing. By default, there is a limit of 350 metrics. If you require additional metrics, contact Datadog support.

  2. Restart the Agent.

Log collection
  1. Collecting logs is disabled by default in the Datadog Agent, enable it in your datadog.yaml file:

    logs_enabled: true
    
  2. Add this configuration block to your activemq_xml.d/conf.yaml or activemq.d/conf.yaml file to start collecting your ActiveMQ logs:

    logs:
      - type: file
        path: "<ACTIVEMQ_BASEDIR>/data/activemq.log"
        source: activemq
        service: "<SERVICE_NAME>"
      - type: file
        path: "<ACTIVEMQ_BASEDIR>/data/audit.log"
        source: activemq
        service: "<SERVICE_NAME>"
    
  3. Restart the Agent.

Containerized

For containerized environments, see the Autodiscovery with JMX guide.

Validation

Run the Agent’s status subcommand and look for activemq_xml under the Checks section.
