Monitoring Tomcat - In-depth details

+1 vote
596 views

For lack of funds initially and now for a stalemate in the project, we do not have a JVM monitoring tool yet. JavaMelody was recently discussed. I like the fact that there is a dashboard and history of metrics. In looking at it, I find JavaMelody lacking in in-depth diagnostics of the JVM. Top-N SQL statements, Transaction Tracing, metrics co-relation, call-back tree, thresholds and alerting are a few.

Are there are any OpenSource projects that instrument the JVM at byte-code and provide detailed metrics more than what JMX offers? Or am I missing something with JavaMelody?

check http://www.moskito.org out.
MoSKito is an open source project that has been around since 2007. It supports most of the things you mentioned except byte-code instruction yet (an agent is currently in development, but its not that easy to implement ;-)).
But you can integrate it along spring-bean, cdi-beans with decorators, filters, java proxies etc pp. Check
https://confluence.opensource.anotheria.net/display/MSK/Integration+Guidefor details.

I have used MindArray IPM's Tomcat monitoring tools for monitor java applications performance and checking availability of applications. It is not open source projects but It provides 30 days free trial. It provides detailed metrics which helps you to find out overall IT performance.

Compiling a Java-implemented JVM with GCJ

There is a Java Virtual Machine completely implemented in Java called JPF. In other words, when you run a Java program within this machine, it's a JVM-within-a-JVM execution. Obviously, this uses a lot of resources and I was thinking of ways how that could be reduced.

An idea I have is to compile JPF with GCJ to native code, thereby resulting in only one JVM that is used when running a Java program within JPF.

Do you see any inherent limitations to this idea, i.e. reasons why it wouldn't work? I'm not a JVM expert so it's hard for me to see any obvious obstacles.
