How to configure JMX with Spring Boot

Question

I have created a Spring Integration application with Spring Boot. I would like to know how to configure JMX with Spring Boot. I believe by default JMX is configured when usin

Answer 1

It is quite late to add this; but in addition to the endpoints.jmx.domain I found it useful to change the spring.jmx.default-domain to someting unique per application

This is with multiple instances of Spring Boot 1.4.1 apps running in Tomcat 7

Answer 2

As you understand the Spring Integration JMX is enabled by default, if you just have spring-integration-jmx in the classpath. And, of course, if spring.jmx.enabled = true (default).

You can't overrride that just declaring one more @EnableIntegrationMBeanExport, because it is based on @Import and you just can't override import classes because of (from ConfigurationClassParser):

imports.addAll(sourceClass.getAnnotationAttributes(Import.class.getName(), "value"));

If imported classes are already there, they aren't overridable.

You have several choices to achieve your requirements:

1. Disable default Spring Boot JMX - just addind to the application.properties spring.jmx.enabled = false and continue to use @EnableIntegrationMBeanExport

2. Configure IntegrationMBeanExporter @Bean manually.

3. Just configure your my.company.domain domain in the application.properties:

   spring.jmx.default_domain = my.company.domain
