While trying to configure the `logstash-input-jmx` plugin, I've hit a brick wall where I can't seem to find why an exception is getting raise.
The error that I'm getting is this:
```auto

I'm not sure where the address `127.0.1.1` is coming from.
My configuration for the input is as follows:
= jxm\_input.conf
```auto
input {
jmx {
path => "/etc/logstash/conf.d/jmx/"
polling_frequency => 30
type => "jmx"
nb_thread => 4
}
}
output {
elasticsearch {
hosts => ["10.10.9.231:9200"]
}
stdout {
codec => rubydebug
}
}
```
= jmx\_conf.json
```auto
{
"host" : "10.10.9.73",
"port" : 9010,
"alias" : "test.homeserver.elasticsearch",
"queries" : [
{
"object_name" : "java.lang:type=Memory",
"object_alias" : "Memory"
}, {
"object_name" : "java.lang:type=Runtime",
"attributes" : ["Uptime", "StartTime"],
"object_alias" : "Runtime"
}, {
"object_name" : "java.lang:type=GarbageCollector,name=*",
"attributes" : ["CollectionCount", "CollectionTime"],
"object_alias" : "${type}.${name}"
}, {
"object_name" : "java.nio:type=BufferPool,name=*",
"object_alias" : "${type}.${name}"
} ]
}
```
