I have newly setup a JBOSS JVM server and would like to use ELK to visualize the Server Host Usage Metrics. Though I can see there are server logs but seem are not showing the Host Usage Metrics, i.g. cpu usage, disk usage, heap usage, etc. Would anyone can tell me how can I collect these metrics with logstash and any simple conf file to collect them? ---

Logstash doesn't collect host metrics by itself. Look into e.g. Topbeat or collectd. ---

So is there anyway to collect the metrics and feed into logstash? ---

Did you look into Topbeat or collectd as I suggested? ---

Yes, but seem they are collecting the whole server metrics instead of a specific application. I can collect metrics of the host but not JBOSS appplication because I am running Jboss as an application in my Redhat Server ---

Oh. I'm not familiar with a tool that collects metrics for particular applications, unless you're using JMX or if you're running Docker containers that can be monitored with cAdvisor. ---

Is that JMX can be used to read the metrics so? ---

JMX is an interface for reading metrics about what goes on in a JVM. Logstash has a JMX input plugin. ---

I see this is an old thread but maybe there has been some progress on this? I want to do exactly that, get _VM/APP metrics_ from **Wildfly 10** (jboss) using **jmx** into **logstash** : **Setting:** - **Wildfly** running on a VM on **10.0.0.2**. - **ELK** running on a VM on **10.0.0.5** ( [see Vagrant config on github](https://github.com/camminati/vagrant-docker-elk)). - I'm using _logstash-input-jmx_ plugin. - All ports are exported, so **10.0.0.5** can see **10.0.0.2** (tested with curl), specially port 9990 where jmx is on. - I can connect to wildfly using the _jconsole_ on the URL `service:jmx:remote+http://localhost:9990` or using the deprecated URL-style: `service:jmx:http-remoting-jmx://localhost:9990` (will complain at the beginning though). **Problem:** - when using one of those URLs, logstash complains with ```auto [2017-06-22T17:31:40,724][ERROR][logstash.inputs.jmx] Unsupported protocol: remote+http ``` or ```auto [2017-06-22T17:33:25,929][ERROR][logstash.inputs.jmx] Unsupported protocol: http-remoting-jmx` ``` - when using no _url_ in the config, but only _host_ and _port_ it says: ```auto [2017-06-22T17:31:10,755][ERROR][logstash.inputs.jmx] Failed to retrieve RMIServer stub: javax.naming.CommunicationException [Root exception is java.rmi.ConnectIOException: error during JRMP connection establishment; nested exception is: java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out] [2017-06-22T17:31:10,756][ERROR][logstash.inputs.jmx] javax.management.remote.rmi.RMIConnector.connect(javax/management/remote/rmi/RMIConnector.java:369) javax.management.remote.JMXConnectorFactory.connect(javax/management/remote/JMXConnectorFactory.java:270) java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(java/lang/reflect/Method.java:498) RUBY.create_connection(/opt/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/jmx4r-0.1.4/lib/jmx4r.rb:220) RUBY.connection(/opt/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/jmx4r-0.1.4/lib/jmx4r.rb:137) RUBY.thread_jmx(/opt/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/logstash-input-jmx-3.0.1/lib/logstash/inputs/jmx.rb:210) RUBY.run(/opt/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/logstash-input-jmx-3.0.1/lib/logstash/inputs/jmx.rb:321) java.lang.Thread.run(java/lang/Thread.java:745) ``` Which means to me, that they are not speaking the right protocol. Since I get _Jconsole_ to connect to the VM, I assume, that _logstash.inputs.jmx_ is using a different protocol (when it obviously hates the URL-Styles above). So how should the URL look like? Another possibility is, that I am missing something in the **Java** side, since the _Jconsole_ only works when _jboss-cli-client.jar_ is in the class path ([see this article](http://planet.jboss.org/post/remote_jmx_access_to_wildfly_or_jboss_as7_using_jconsole)). It could be possible, that there is some vendor magic involved. Could it be, that the plugin is using java jmx connectors, and I can just put the lib somewhere so it is in the class path? ---

**UPDATE:** I tested it putting the _jboss-cli-client.jar_ it into `/opt/logstash/vendor/jruby/lib/jboss-cli-client.jar` and it worked. This looks a little too hacky for me. Is there a proper way to add some libraries to logstash's classpath from a different directory? I have no knowledge of ruby, so make your answer child-proof please. I also updated my [camminati/vagrant-docker-elk](https://github.com/camminati/vagrant-docker-elk/) if you want to try stuff. ---

I'm running into the same issue, but after following your configuration steps I'm receiving "Unsupported protocol: remote+http". I'm running it on Windows 10, using version 6.2.3 of Logstash, with the jboss-cli-client.jar from v10.0.0.0 of Wildfly. ---
