Append attribute and/or compositeData key name to the resultAlias

[maheshkelkar]

The following query exports all the attributes of the given objectName: <query objectName="java.lang:type=Memory" resultAlias="my.localmachine"/>

This query, generates the following output:

my.localmachine false 1432740403
my.localmachine 0 1432740403
my.localmachine 257425408 1432740403
my.localmachine 268435456 1432740403
my.localmachine 3817865216 1432740403
my.localmachine 79592824 1432740403
my.localmachine 50003968 1432740403
my.localmachine 24576000 1432740403
my.localmachine 136314880 1432740403
my.localmachine 49349944 1432740403
my.localmachine java.lang:type=Memory 1432740403

It uses the resultAlias for all the exported attributes, which makes it impossible to distinguish:

Instead the jmxtrans-agent should append the attribute and compositeDataKey (if applicable) to the resultName to make it self-explanatory. E.g. :

my.localmachine.Verbose false 1432742044
my.localmachine.ObjectPendingFinalizationCount 0 1432742044
my.localmachine.HeapMemoryUsage.committed 257425408 1432742044
my.localmachine.HeapMemoryUsage.init 268435456 1432742044
my.localmachine.HeapMemoryUsage.max 3817865216 1432742044
my.localmachine.HeapMemoryUsage.used 79746712 1432742044
my.localmachine.NonHeapMemoryUsage.committed 50003968 1432742044
my.localmachine.NonHeapMemoryUsage.init 24576000 1432742044
my.localmachine.NonHeapMemoryUsage.max 136314880 1432742044
my.localmachine.NonHeapMemoryUsage.used 49385432 1432742044
my.localmachine.ObjectName java.lang:type=Memory 1432742044

Yes. The expressionLanguageEngine is available, but it does not allow us to add attribute or compositeData key to the resultName. It simple enhances the existing resultAlias.

I'm closing this, as I understand, this behavior is now supported by providing resultAliases such as my.localmachine.#attribute#.#key#
