Hi My 2 cents. i wouldnt do it this way. Most app servers have low impact monitoring tools that run within the app server that allow them to write JMX data to files in various combinations (especially alerting kind of JMX - notify if free connections fall to < 3 or something) so I am not really in favor of a one client does all solution - its easier to combine results.
Also if you code this yourself from an external client then you must account for the additional load that you are putting on the server(as opposed to the app server which will usually give you figures like expect 2% reduction per 10 attributes monitored or something) . The sample variables are recorded per thread - why would you want to do that?. If you are running say a 100 threads you dont really want to make a 100 concurrent JMX calls so you'd have to code it to say only 1 thread actually makes the call. Usually you want this to be interval based (monitor every x minutes or so) which doesnt fit into sample_variables easily. regards deepak On Wed, Dec 15, 2010 at 6:55 AM, Josh Abts <[email protected]> wrote: > I like the idea of the sample variables.
