Hello team  
I have installed jmx plugin to logstash 6.6.2  
How do this plugin work. When I start the logstash with jmx input and jmx config as the input file.....It is giving an error....no such file or directory found.

Input  
{  
jmx {  
//Required  
path =\> "/apps/logstash\_conf/jmxconf"  
//Optional, default 60s  
polling\_frequency =\> 15  
type =\> "jmx"  
//Optional, default 4  
nb\_thread =\> 4  
}  
}  
Output  
{  
elasticsearch {  
host......  
Index..  
}

}

Jmx conf file

{  
//Required, JMX listening host/ip  
"host" : "192.168.1.2",  
//Required, JMX listening port  
"port" : 1335,  
//Optional, the username to connect to JMX  
"username" : "user",  
//Optional, the password to connect to JMX  
"password": "pass",  
//Optional, use this alias as a prefix in the metric name. If not set use \_  
"alias" : "test.homeserver.elasticsearch",  
//Required, list of JMX metrics to retrieve  
"queries" : [  
{  
//Required, the object name of Mbean to request  
"object\_name" : "java.lang:type=Memory",  
//Optional, use this alias in the metrics value instead of the object\_name  
"object\_alias" : "Memory"  
}, {  
"object\_name" : "java.lang:type=Runtime",  
//Optional, set of attributes to retrieve. If not set retrieve  
//all metrics available on the configured object\_name.  
"attributes" : ["Uptime", "StartTime"],  
"object\_alias" : "Runtime"  
}, {  
//object\_name can be configured with \* to retrieve all matching Mbeans  
"object\_name" : "java.lang:type=GarbageCollector,name=_",  
"attributes" : ["CollectionCount", "CollectionTime"],  
//object\_alias can be based on specific value from the object\_name thanks to {\<varname\>}. //In this case {type} will be replaced by GarbageCollector...  
"object\_alias" : "{type}.{name}"  
}, {  
"object\_name" : "java.nio:type=BufferPool,name=_",  
"object\_alias" : "{type}.{name}"  
} ]  
}

Can u please help me out .....

I am unable to understand why it would be looking for that file given the configuration you claim to be running.
