[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-4482) Hadoop JMX usage makes Nagios monitoring impossible

------------------------------------------

Maybe you could use the machinename + htttport to uniquely identify a datanode. This will dentify each datanode uniquely in JMXland while at the same time be a constant for each datanode.

> When Hadoop reports Datanode information to JMX, the bean uses the name "DataNode-" + storageid.  The storage ID incorporates a random number and is unpredictable.
> This prevents me from monitoring DFS datanodes through Hadoop using the JMX interface; in order to do that, you must be able to specify the bean name on the command line.
> The fix is simple, patch will be coming momentarily.  However, there was probably a reason for making the datanodes all unique names which I'm unaware of, so it'd be nice to hear from the metrics maintainer.
