Happy New Year!

Dear All,

Best wishes and a happy 2009.

In 2009, we'll add lots of new features to Java-monitor.

Here's a short list to give you an idea of what's coming up.

An OSGi monitor bundle, to make it easier to look at the internals of SpringSource dm Server and some embedded OSGi containers.
A probe that is easier to use in pure Spring applications. The current WAR file makes it difficult to just drop it into a Spring application that's not running in for example Tomcat.
User templates, to allow you to also monitor your own mbeans, not just the JVM ones.
Better support for various application servers.


We are looking for people who have knowledge of the internals of various application servers. We'd like your help identifying key mbeans to monitor in for example JBoss, SpringSource dm Server, Oracle/BEA WebLogic, Orion and OC4j.

All this, and more, coming up in 2009! May your servers run 24x7. :-)

Hi Kees,

I followed the steps given in "Install the Probe in your Application Server" http://java-monitor.com/install.html. When I try to access the application through Tomcat it takes me to http://www.java-monitor.com/.

Is there anything I am missing..

Please help me...

Dear rajat.ray,

That is expected behaviour. Once you have installed the probe, you can find the monitoring information on the forum. It is not accessible locally, because then you would not be able to diagnose Tomcat crashes.

With the probe installed, just go to http://java-monitor.com/forum and log in. The monitoring data should be right there.

If you have any problems, check catalina.out for more information and post your Tomcat version, Java version and OS version for us to look at.

Hope this helps.

PS. Please don't hijack threads, but open your own.

Hi Kees,

Thanks for your prompt reply..How can I access locally...

[kjkoster]

Dear rajat.ray,

Like I said, you cannot. It is only available on Java-monitor.com. Is that working for you?

Hi Kees,

It works no doubt...but I was thinking to access it locally...

Can you suggest me any open source monitoring tool for Tomcat..

Regards
Rajat.

Depends on what you need.

You can have a look at jManage, but keep in mind that "rolling your own" will cost a lot of time. The biggest advantage of Java-monitor is that you can drop it in and it works.
No software installation needed and you can always post questions in here based on your results.

Regards,

Barry
