Cannot connect to JBoss server when configuring the data collector for JBoss 4.2.0 or higher
The problem: When configuring the data collector for JBoss 4.2.0 or higher, the following error message is displayed after entering the JBoss Server and Java home details:
Cannot connect to the JBoss server. Make sure that the JBoss is running or check whether the Server Host/Port specified are correct. Please be sure of that JNP service is not only bound on localhost and JNP service should be able to be connect via domain name like testdomain.com:1099The reason: Before JBoss version 4.2.0, JBoss always bound to any address, for example, 0.0.0.0. For security reasons, when using JBoss 4.2.0 or later, explicitly state the address.
The solution: To use 0.0.0.0 as your JBoss address, start the JBoss server by passing the following parameters to the startup script:
For UNIX, use:
./run.sh -b 0.0.0.0For Windows, use:
run.bat -b 0.0.0.0You are advised to secure your JBoss instance when using the server in production.
