JMX

You have to expose the JMX port to the host and even used Sun specific options while running the Java process.

You are able to telnet to the host ip and the exposed JMX port, which tells that it is accessible. But I can't figure out a way to use JConsole and connect to the JMX service running in the container.

☛ Djava.rmi.server.hostname=$JMX_HOSTNAME

☛ Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=$JMX_PORT

☛ Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.rmi.port=$JMX_PORT

When Tomcat is running as a service on Windows, you do not need setenv.bat, you need to use tomcat8w.exe and GUI toll for adding options.

You have to install the jmx_ta on a 6.2 forwarder and getting the following error"

A managed bean - sometimes simply referred to as an MBean - is a type of JavaBean, created with dependency injection. Managed Beans are particularly used in the Java Management Extensions technology. But, with the Java EE 6 specification provides for a more detailed meaning of a managed bean.

JMX is based on a 3-level architecture:

► The Probe level contains the probes (called MBeans) instrumenting the resources. Also called the Instrumentation level.

► The Agent level, or MBeanServer, is the core of JMX. It is an intermediary between the MBean and the applications.

► The Remote Management level enables remote applications to access the MBeanServer through Connectors and Adaptors. A connector provides full remote access to the MBeanServer API using various communication frameworks (RMI, IIOP, JMS, WS), while an adaptor adapts the API to another protocol (SNMP) or to Web-based GUI (HTML/HTTP, WML/HTTP).

WLS8 supports JMX but it uses weblogic implementation of JMX server. It does not supports generalise sun javax API which can be used with any JVM. There are some patches available which can be used with WLS8 which will enabled JMX based monitoring. Once JMX is enable there are many monitoring tools available in the market. One can even go for custom JMX utilities which can be used for server monitoring.

Install Splunk 6 on your server which contains about 6 different JMX instances. you want to hook all of them up into our Splunk JMX plugin.

It is as easy as editing the config.xml file and adding a new jmx server host? Currently this is:

<jmxserver host="[[system name]]" jvmDescription="common_raw" jmxport="53632">

Factory methods that will be used to create objects just like in a static way.

MX is conceptually simple, yet bears the fruit of years of domain experience and research. In a nutshell, JMX defines a standard means for applications to expose management functionality

1)Instrumentation level

2)Agent level

3)Management level

JMX is native to the Java programming language. As a result, it offers natural, efficient, and lightweight management extensions to Java-based functions. It consists of a set of specifications and development tools for managing Java environments and developing state-of-the-art management solutions for applications and services.

The application JVM is configured with the following options:

☛ com.sun.management.jmxremote

☛ com.sun.management.jmxremote.port=1088

☛ com.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false

☛ com.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false

Here are a few advantages of Setter:

☛ Natural for Java Beans

☛ Avoids overly long constructors

☛ Can be inherited

☛ Easier to understand in that properties have names

☛ Constructor args don't have names

A pointcut expression that has a name so it can be reused.

Resons To use:

☛ Annotation: @Pointcut applied to a dummy method - name of the dummy method is the name of the pointcut expression.

☛ XML aop:pointcut id=".." expression=".."

Here are 5 steps:

☛ Read bean file XML (or process annotations). Build internal "map" of beans and determine dependency tree.

☛ Post process the definitions - e.g. resolve ${variables}

☛ Allocate objects - dependency inject constructor args and invoke setter.

☛ Perform any initialisation - 3 approachs: @PostConstruct, init-method, InitializingBean

☛ Bean post-processors - e.g. wrap with proxy, @Required

he code that implements the cross cutting-concern that will be inserted at each join-point.

Types of advice:

☛ Before

☛ AfterReturning

☛ AfterThrowing

☛ After

☛ Around

Joint-point is an expression that defines zero or more join-points.

A requirement that cuts across all the natural modules of your application.

Examples:

Tracing, security, transactions, business rules.

Two problems with cross-cutting concerns.

☛ Code tangling - method doing too many unrelated tasks

☛ Code scattering - code duplication leading to maintenance headache

Bean is not allocated until it is actually needed - dependency injected - or requested via getBean(). specify lazy="true" (false by default). Only useful if bean genuinely may never be used in most runs of the application.
