You read my mind :) So right now this DOT file is real time; every time a destination is added/removed we regenerate the DOT file. So using the OS X tool, we get a real time graphical view. (We could hopefully add a kinda web/ajax client on top of this to get real time visualisations on the management portal too). The part I really want us to do is to graphically represent how connections, sessions, consumers & producers relate to brokers & destinations within the brokers; together with stats. There's a ton of useful visualisations we can do - our only limitation here is our imagination. I've put together a visualisation wish list wiki page... http://docs.codehaus.org/display/ACTIVEMQ/Visualisation+Wish+List please if you can think of any interesting ideas for what we could visualise or how it could look, please add a note. Better still try patch the code to do it :) BTW if you are interested - here's the code for the real time rendering of the destination hierarchies.... http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/activemq/trunk/activemq-core/src/main/java/org/apache/activemq/broker/view/ as you can see its pretty simple stuff; we've a ton of stats and information inside the broker that it'll be really easy to render as some kind of picture -- James ------- http://radio.weblogs.com/0112098/
