I am trying to get jmxtrans to work yet I get the below on ubuntu 12.04 and using openjdk 7.
/usr/share/jmxtrans# java -version
java version "1.7.0_25"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.3.10) (7u25-2.3.10-1ubuntu0.12.04.2)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.7-b01, mixed mode)
/usr/share/jmxtrans# ./jmxtrans.sh start /var/lib/jmxtrans/kafka.json
Cannot execute /usr/lib/jvm/default-java/bin/jps -l!
What does the above mean?
It seems that the jps file can't be found in the /usr/lib/jvm/default-java/bin directory. It is available in the '-devel' packages if you want to install those (yum install java-1.7.0-openjdk-devel, apt-get install openjdk-7-jre-devel). It could also be that your JAVA_HOME is not pointing to the correct place if you have multiple java versions installed.
You should not need it however, regular ps works fine. You can add a variable to your configuration that says export USE_JPS=false. The configuration can be found in /etc/default/jmxtrans.
