Hello,

Currently i have configured single jmx json file for a single server in logstash jmx input configuration as below.

[{  
"host" : "localhost" ,  
"port" : 9000,  
"alias" : "jmx.elasticsearch" ,  
"queries" : [  
{  
"object\_name" : "java.lang:type=Memory" ,  
"object\_alias" : "Memory"  
}]

Is it possible to add more hosts and ports in the same json file?

No. The path option on a jmx input points to a directory. Each file in the directory describes the metrics that should be fetched from a single JVM. You need one file per JVM.

Thank You. Is there any better alternative for Jmx then logstash input which is used for distributed servers?
