It collects metrics by sending HTTP requests to the Web Console API. This collector is supported on all platforms. This collector supports collecting metrics from multiple instances of this integration, including remote instances. This collector discovers instances running on the local host that provide metrics on port 8161. On startup, it tries to collect metrics from: http://localhost:8161 The default configuration for this integration does not impose any limits on data collection. The default configuration for this integration is not expected to impose a significant performance impact on the system. Metrics grouped by scope. The scope defines the instance that the metric belongs to. An instance is uniquely identified by a set of labels. These metrics refer to the entire monitored application. This scope has no labels. Metrics: | Metric | Dimensions | Unit | |:|:-|:-| | activemq.messages | enqueued, dequeued | messages/s | | activemq.unprocessed_messages | unprocessed | messages | | activemq.consumers | consumers | consumers | There are no alerts configured by default for this integration. No action required. The configuration file name for this integration is `go.d/activemq.conf`. You can edit the configuration file using the `edit-config` script from the Netdata . ```bash cd /etc/netdata 2>/dev/null || cd /opt/netdata/etc/netdata sudo ./edit-config go.d/activemq.conf ``` The following options can be defined globally: updateevery, autodetectionretry. <details><summary>Config options</summary> | Name | Description | Default | Required | |:-|:--|:-|:--:| | update_every | Data collection frequency. | 1 | no | | autodetection_retry | Recheck interval in seconds. Zero means no recheck will be scheduled. | 0 | no | | url | Server URL. | http://localhost:8161 | yes | | webadmin | Webadmin root path. | admin | yes | | max_queues | Maximum number of concurrently collected queues. | 50 | no | | max_topics | Maximum number of concurrently collected topics. | 50 | no | | queues_filter | Queues filter.

The output should give you clues as to why the collector isn't working. Navigate to the `plugins.d` directory, usually at `/usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/`. If that's not the case on your system, open `netdata.conf` and look for the `plugins` setting under `[directories]`. ```bash cd /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/ ``` Switch to the `netdata` user. ```bash sudo -u netdata -s ``` Run the `go.d.plugin` to debug the collector: ```bash ./go.d.plugin -d -m activemq ```
