Installation and configuration overview for the Splunk Add-on for JMX

To install and configure this add-on, follow these steps:

1. Optionally set your $JAVA_HOME environment variable to the root directory of your JRE installation. If you don’t set this, the Splunk Add-on for JMX looks for a default installed Java executable on the path.

2. Install the add-on.

   Note

   If you are migrating from the app Monitoring of Java Virtual Machines with JMX, follow the migration guide.

3. Prepare your JMX servers so that Splunk Enterprise can get data from them using the add-on’s modular input. To collect data from IBM Websphere application servers using Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), see the Connect with IBM Websphere Application Server topic in this manual.

4. Next, configure your inputs.
