Thanks, Martin. I'll check out Jolokia.
I've started experimenting with jboss-cli.sh to gather some of the more critical stats. I've got that feeding into Xymon now. The next step is to get graphing working.

Hi,
jboss doesn't use standard jmx protocol but it's own remoting protocol.
I remember working around it by taking jboss-client.jar from jboss and
rebuilding jmxsh.jar. It also required a bit of a code change to get jmxsh
use it. At the end I abandoned the idea of using this approach because the
remoting client seemed to have a memory leak, using up all the heap space -
basically the monitoring was killing jboss apps.
Have a look at Jolokia https://jolokia.org/
It should allow you to query JMX over HTTP.
Regards,
Martin

I'm trying to set up jmxstat from xymonton.org to monitor information
about JBoss 7.1 on 64-bit Oracle Linux 6.7 with Java 1.7.0_75. I have
followed the instructions for both the client and server side. The jmxstat
test appears on the Xymon server and is updating every 5 minutes as
expected.
I'm continuously getting the error:
myclient.mydomain.com JMX - connection failed for JVM
I don't know enough about Java or JBoss to know where to start looking.
The instructions for jmxstat say this:
"The JVM will need to be restarted with additional options that enable the
JMX module and define the port & credentials."
What additional options are needed and where are these configured?
The admin port is 9999 and netstat shows that it's listening.
I did use the add-user.sh script to create the username and password in
the mgtm-users.properties file for JBoss.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
