Abstract

Currently, technical expertise is required to construct a connector between an integration process and a Java Management extensions (JMX) server. Disclosed embodiments enable automated configuration of a JMX connector, which can be integrated into one or more integration processes. The configuration process may comprise iterating over descriptors of attributes or operations to automatically generate a data schema that can be incorporated into a profile of the JMX connector. The data schema is then used, during execution of the JMX connector, to retrieve attributes of a resource being monitored by the probe layer of JMX or execute an operation available via the application programming interface of the JMX server. The JMX connector enables JMX data to be integrated in the same manner as conventional integration data, and enhances security by enabling JMX data to be confined within the boundaries of the integration platform.

Dependent claims

A method comprising using at least one hardware processor to:

receive connection information for a Java Management eXtensions (JMX) server;
query the JMX server for descriptors of one or more domains of attributes available through the JMX server;
provide a representation of each of the one or more domains within a graphical user interface;
receive a selection of at least one of the one or more domains via the graphical user interface;
iterate over the descriptors of all attributes within the selected at least one domain to generate an attributes schema defining all attributes within the selected at least one domain;
generate a first profile comprising the attributes schema;
incorporate the first profile into a first JMX connector;
incorporate the first JMX connector into a first integration process within an integration platform;
query the JMX server for descriptors of one or more operations available through the JMX server;
provide a representation of each of the one or more operations within the graphical user interface;
receive a selection of one of the one or more operations via the graphical user interface;
iterate over input parameters within the descriptor of the selected operation to generate an operation schema defining one or more input parameters of the selected operation;
generate a second profile comprising the operation schema;
incorporate the second profile into a second JMX connector;
and
execute the second JMX connector within a runtime engine of the integration platform by
receiving data representing the one or more input parameters,
generating a call to the selected operation, wherein the call comprises the one or more input parameters formatted according to the operation schema in the second profile,
executing the call to the selected operation via the JMX server, and
outputting any response data from the selected operation.
