Dear Leon,
Oh, don't be so dramatic. There is a whole world out there of smaller
companies that have one or two Tomcat servers in production,
running on the
cheapest shared server environment they could find. This product
targets
companies that have two or three developers, one of whom has been
pressed
into doing the admin role on the side.
yes, but why should they give their very sensitive data into the hand
of someone? You understand that tomcat operation profile provides
perfect opportunity for a potential attacker or competitor? Especially
when there are tools which does the same without giving the data away.
I see, so you are saying that Tomcat's JMX stats are very sensitive.
Is that true in all cases? For each and every running instance of
Tomcat?
This is basically the same discussion as is currently raging between
using internal mail servers and using Google's. I note that both you
and I are using Google mail. Some company policies forbid the use of
external mail systems precisely for the reasons you suggest. I've even
worked at companies that firewalled hotmail.com to keep their
employees off of it. Other companies decide to outsource all of their
mail services to Google for the convenience and savings it offers.
I apologize if the operational model of Java-monitor startled you.
That was
not my intention. It works this way because that takes the care and
feeding
of the monitoring platform away from the user. Some people like
that while
others, such as yourself, prefer not to work like this.
Why dont you just supply another web/app which collects the data
locally in the customers environment?
Well, it's kind'a hard to send out an e-mail message that your app
server has died, when the monitor is running inside that very same
server. Also, I have plans for rules processing that should help
predict server death. I'm not sure everyone will want to have the
overhead of such processing in their operational environment.
I'm not asking anyone to switch away from their existing tools. I'm
certainly not suggesting that you use it, as Java-monitor is clearly
not suited for your environment.
