Dear All,
I have been pretty quiet on this forum the past few weeks. This is just a short update to let you know what I'm up to.
I have been busy working to build a monitoring tool that will integrate into the Java-monitor forum. That's right, you'll be able to monitor your application server's memory and thread usage right here on java-monitor.com.
Kees de Kooter said: release early and release often (http://java-monitor.com/forum/showpost.php?p=180&postcount=2). Well, that's what I'm going to go, so don't go and uninstall Nagios just yet. :-) I'll release a sneaky-peek version of the monitoring tool RSN (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_soon_now).
The monitoring service is going to be free to use. Installation will be dead simple (switch JMX on (http://java-monitor.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1) and drop java-monitor.war into your webapps folder) and configuration free. No hardware needed.
The forum will get a fresher look and feel, and I'll be introducing a few more topics to make looking for answers a little easier.
Meanwhile I have been talking to people to get some moderators out and into the field. Kees de Kooter has just started in that role (http://java-monitor.com/forum/showthread.php?t=51) and more moderators are on the way.
Soo... Lots of good stuff coming your way, so please bear with me for a little more, as I iron out the most glaring bugs.
