actually any server that uses JMX and MBeans can port the servlet from tomcat and use it. all one would need to do is configure the mbeans correctly.
In terms of IIS, I actually tried to write a simple ASPX page to return data. What I discovered to my surprise is many of the IIS performance metrics return 1 or zero. In other words, they don't actually do anything. for example, I tried get active threads and it always returned 1, even though I had 10 concurrent threads going. I can send you the aspx code, if you like. Unless you write your own component to monitor the number of active threads, total threads, spare threads and so on, there's really no good way of getting data from IIS. the only thing Jmeter cares about for the monitor is the data has to use the same format as the xsd in tomcat's status servlet. if you have any more questions, feel free to ask. peter On Thu, 16 Dec 2004 08:52:58 -0600 (CST), jaime gutierrez <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I've been reading about the Monitor in the User Discussion List. > I know jMETER can send HTTP requests to IIS and other servers, but can the > Monitor retrieve the IIS used memory, and other server statistics ??? > > I found this message from Peter Lin talking about the Monitor ..... > http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/[EMAIL PROTECTED]&msgNo=5465 > ------------------- > three important things. > 1. the server must be Tomcat 5.0.19 or newer. > 2. check "use as monitor" in the sampler > 3. add a authmanager and make sure the logic is good > > if you don't have these three things, will always be dead. does that help? > > peter > ------------------ > > So this means that the Monitor can never retrieve server information from > servers different from the Jakarta server? > > Thanks, JAIME > > > --------------------------------- > Do you Yahoo!? > Yahoo!
