Confluence

Auto-Detection
Built-in Metrics

Bleemeo monitors Confluence through automatic service detection and JMX metrics collection for wiki performance.

Auto-Detection

Section titled “Auto-Detection”

Glouton automatically detects Confluence instances running on the system.

To enable metrics gathering, the Bleemeo agent must be installed with JMX enabled. See Java Metrics for setup details.

Confluence must also expose JMX over a TCP port. Follow the Live Monitoring Using the JMX Interface guide.

Summary for unauthenticated access:

  • Add -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=3333 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false to the JVM. The default Confluence startup script accepts these from CATALINA_OPTS or JAVA_OPTS environment variables.

If auto-detected parameters are incorrect, you can override them manually.
