Hello folks,

I just started testing jmxtrans today. Amazing product that was very quick to install and get running.

Now i am trying to do the harder part of customization..

It seems like jmxtrans is splitting each query block into separate docs. Is it possible to configure jmxtrans to put all the query outputs into one json doc?

The format that i want seems to be reflected very well in this comment https://github.com/jmxtrans/jmxtrans/issues/346#issuecomment-234476612

When i specify this in the outputWriters block "@class": "com.googlecode.jmxtrans.model.output.kafka.KafkaWriter2

jmxtrans errors out with

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Class com.googlecode.jmxtrans.model.output.kafka.KafkaWriter2 not subtype of [simple type, class com.googlecode.jmxtrans.model.output.ResultSerializer]

Am i missing a crucial part?

Thanks,

Allen Chan

My apologies. I copied and pasted the wrong jmxtrans error

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Class com.googlecode.jmxtrans.model.output.kafka.KafkaWriter2 not subtype of [simple type, class com.googlecode.jmxtrans.model.OutputWriterFactory]

Attached my config in case that is the first question asked.

Ok so i spent a few hours going through tickets and this forum with not much progress.

I know now that the ticket relates to a pull request that was not merged.

https://github.com/jmxtrans/jmxtrans/pull/478#issuecomment-314816316

In this comment, it seems like the reason the change was not merged because ResultSerializer has similar abilities to what was proposed in the PR.

I looked through the code and docs and dont see how i can use the current included Serializers to print the results in this format

  "host":"myhost.mydomain.fr",
  "what":"OperatingSystem",
