Looks like the "Monitoring memory use and performance in real time" section was inadvertently omitted from the 7.6.03 documentation. I've alerted the documentation folks and they'll make sure it gets into the AR System 7.6.04 documentation. Here's the info for Tomcat:
Monitoring memory use and performance in real time By default, real-time mid-tier monitoring is disabled. To monitor mid-tier memory use and performance in real time through a Java Management Extension (JMX.) console, such as JConsole, perform the following procedure. To monitor memory use and performance in real time 1 Add the following parameters to the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) started by the mid-tier JavaServer Pages (JSP) or servlet engine. * To monitor the mid tier on the mid tier host: At the command-line prompt, set the JAVA_OPTS environment variable as follows, and then start Tomcat: set JAVA_OPTS=-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote Alternatively, add the preceding parameter to the JAVA_OPTS entry in the TomcatInstallDir/bin/catalina.bat file, and then restart Tomcat. * To monitor the mid tier remotely: At the command-line prompt, set the JAVA_OPTS environment variable as follows, and then start Tomcat: set JAVA_OPTS= -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate =false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=portNumber portNumber is the port number to connect to your JMX Remote Method Invocation (RMI) connector. Specify an unused port number. Alternatively, add the preceding parameters to the JAVA_OPTS entry in the TomcatInstallDir/bin/catalina.bat file, and then restart Tomcat. 1. In the Mid Tier Configuration Tool, check the Enable Mid Tier Performance MBean option on the General Settings page to enable real-time monitoring. 2. Restart the mid tier. NOTE You can also monitor mid-tier memory use and performance by analyzing the entries in the armidtier.log file. See the Optimizing and Troubleshooting Guide for more information. -David J.

Here is the description from the Mid-Tier Guide: *********************************** Specifies whether mid-tier memory use and performance can be monitored in real time through a JMX console such as JConsole. If the check box is: - Selected-Memory use and performance can be monitored using a JMX console. - Cleared-Real-time memory use and performance is not enabled. For more information, see "Monitoring memory use and performance in real time." *********************************** Both the Mid-Tier pdf and help in the Configuration Tool say to see "Monitoring memory use and performance in real time". I cannot find anything with this title. I set the check box, restarted Tomcat and now see "com.remedy.arsys.log" and a number of attributes on the MBeans tab of JConsole. Looks neat (I haven't done much with the MBeans info in JConsole) but would like the documentation or to hear from somebody using it to see if there are certain things to look for and is this the extent of checking the box.
