Dear All,
What is monitoring without SNMP (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SNMP)? I have to admit that I do not use SNMP myself. It's still on my should-really-look-at-as-soon-as-I-have-time list. Of course, that does not mean others have to make the same mistake.
There is some terse documentation (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/management/SNMP.html) on the Sun Java management page (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/management/) for people who want to check out SNMP. To me, the Sun documentation articles are a lot like the UNIX manual pages: they are only useful once you know what you are doing. To learn something new, you have to look elsewhere.
On the Zabbix forums I found a condensed JBoss SNMP howto (http://www.zabbix.com/forum/showpost.php?p=35083), posted by one of their members named areplogle (http://www.zabbix.com/forum/member.php?u=5890).
On Sun's blog site, check out the blog by Daniel Fuchs (http://blogs.sun.com/jmxetc/). He writes a lot of insightful information about JMX and SNMP based monitoring of Java applications. For example, here is a blog post comparing JMX and SNMP (http://blogs.sun.com/jmxetc/entry/jmx_vs_snmp) (sneaky peek: Daniel recommends using JMX over SNMP :D).
