Ralph beat me to it. :-) We could add counters to various components and make those counters visible via JMX. Surely the libraries you mention know how to consume metrics from a JMX data source.
To me a key point would be to avoid impacting performance while updating counters in multi-threaded situations. Patches are welcome!
