So I answered my own question here:
After pulling down multiple versions of generic-jmx.jar I could not get
compatibility working and building from source on the machine was not an
option due to "Business reasons". Ultimately I pulled down the source code
for my version 5.4.1 to local built it copied my jar up with an added
logger to figure out the type:
in ./bindings/java/org/collectd/java/GenericJMXConfValue.java
private Number genericObjectToNumber (Object obj, int ds_type) /* {{{ */
{
Collectd.logError ("Class: " + obj.getClass().getName() + "+++");
this threw back a "[J"
which thanks to google is an array of long primitives
so I updated genericObjectToNumber with an extra case
else if (obj instanceof long[])
{
long[] array = (long[]) obj;
return (genericObjectToNumber(array[array.length-1], ds_type));
}
and viola I have my data
as a side note, I also added bools
else if (obj instanceof Boolean)
{
Boolean bool = (Boolean) obj;
return (bool==true?1:0);
}
thanks to anyone that looked at it.
