> Its hard figuring what our metrics mean. Each attribute and bean actually has
> a description but its hard to get at. In mission control, etc., you have to
> click on each attribute to see the description. Its painful. Because the
> description is rarely read, they are not as info-full as they could be.
> If you do /jmx in the UI, you get a dump of all beans associated with the
> server but its just the attribute/bean name + value. The description is there
> but its not displayed. We should give option to display descriptions. It
> would be good for those exploring what metrics are available. We actually
> point folks at jvisualvm in the refguide to figure what metrics are
> available. Would be useful if we could point them at something that was
> easier to navigate.
