Attempting to fetch various bean data from Jboss instances by means of jolokia some works others fail though I can fetch them with curl, any hints appreciated on what/which condition is missing or faulty, TIA! Getting errors like this ```auto {"log.level":"error","@timestamp":"2022-10-26T01:50:26.555+0200","log.logger":"reload","log.origin":{"file.name":"cfgfile/list.go","file.line":99},"message":"Error creating runner from config: failed to initialize condition: missing or invalid condition","service.name":"metricbeat","ecs.version":"1.6.0"} ``` with a config like this: ```auto - module: jolokia index: "%{[agent.name]}-%{[agent.version]}-jboss" namespace: "jboss.ws" metricsets: ["jmx"] processors: - drop_event: when: - has_fields: ['error.message'] - add_fields: target: 'jolokia' fields: instance: "" period: 1m hosts: [http://localhost:27380] path: "hawtio/jolokia/?ignoreErrors=true&canonicalNaming=false" username: "${JBOSS_USER}" password: "${JBOSS_PWD}" jmx.mappings: - mbean: "jboss.ws:context=*,endpoint=*" attributes: - attr: "ObjectName" field: "objectname" - attr: "TotalProcessingTime" field: "processingtime.total" - attr: "AverageProcessingTime" field: "processingtime.avg" - attr: "MaxProcessingTime" field: "processingtime.max" - attr: "MinProcessingTime" field: "processingtime.min" - attr: "FaultCount" field: "counts.fault" - attr: "RequestCount" field: "counts.request" - attr: "ResponseCount" field: "counts.response" ``` fetch bean data from curl works fine using same credentials: ```auto $ curl -u luser 'http://localhost:27380/hawtio/jolokia/read/jboss.ws:context=*,endpoint=*/*' Enter host password for user 'luser': {"request":{"mbean":"jboss.ws:context=*,endpoint=*","type":"read"},"value":{"jboss.ws:context=main-server,endpoint=KalenderUdrulEndpointImpl":{"Address":"http:\/\/jbossws.undefined.host:27380\/main-server\/KalenderUdrulEndpointImpl","TotalProcessingTime":0,"UpdateTime":0,"FaultCount":0,"MinProcessingTime":0,"AverageProcessingTime":0,"RequestCount":0,"ResponseCount":0,"RecordProcessors":[{"processHeaders":true,"processOperation":true,"processSourceHost":true,"processDestinationHost":true,"processDate":true,"name":"LogRecorder","processMessageType":true,"processEnvelope":true,"recording":false,"filters":[]},{"processHeaders":true,"processOperation":true,"processSourceHost":true,"processMessageType":true,"processEnvelope":true,"recording":false,"maxSize":50,"filters":[],"size":0,"processDestinationHost":true,"processDate":true,"name":"MemoryBufferRecorder","clientHosts":[]}],"MaxProcessingTime":0},"jboss.ws:context=main-server,endpoint=SmsSendingEndpointImpl":{"Address":"http:\/\/jbossws.undefined.host:27380\/main-server\/SmsSendingEndpointImpl","TotalProcessingTime":0,"UpdateTime":0,"FaultCount":0,"MinProcessingTime":0,"AverageProcessingTime":0,"RequestCount":0,"ResponseCount":0,"RecordProcessors":[{"processHeaders":true,"processOperation":true,"processSourceHost":true,"processDestinationHost":true,"processDate":true,"name":"LogRecorder","processMessageType":true,"processEnvelope":true,"recording":false,"filters":[]},{"processHeaders":true,"processOperation":true,"processSourceHost":true,"processMessageType":true,"processEnvelope":true,"recording":false,"maxSize":50,"filters":[],"size":0,"processDestinationHost":true,"processDate":true,"name":"MemoryBufferRecorder","clientHosts":[]}],"MaxProcessingTime":0},... ``` from same jolokia.yml this module config is working just fine and sending data: ```auto - module: jolokia index: "%{[agent.name]}-%{[agent.version]}-jvm" namespace: "jvm" metricsets: ["jmx"] processors: - drop_event: when: has_fields: ['error.message'] - add_fields: target: 'jolokia' fields: instance: "" period: 1m hosts: [http://localhost:27380] path: "hawtio/jolokia/?ignoreErrors=true&canonicalNaming=false" username: "${JBOSS_USER}" password: "${JBOSS_PWD}" jmx.mappings: - mbean: "java.lang:name=*,type=GarbageCollector" attributes: - attr: Name field: gc.name - attr: CollectionTime field: gc.time - attr: CollectionCount field: gc.count - attr: LastGcInfo field: gc.last ``` ---

Hi @stefws , i see there is " " quotes in the first config file and in the second config file i do not see " " for attr and field. Can we try removing those quotes for `- attr:` and `- field:` ---

Thanks for pointing out the area, has\_field shouldn't have a dash prefix '-' now it works it must have been too late in the day/night 🙂 ---
