JavaMelody: Monitoring the Performance of Tomcat Application Server

Javamelody is an opensource (LGPL) application to monitor Java or Java EE application servers in QA and production environments. JavaMelody is mainly based on statistics of requests and on evolution charts. (Extract from the Javamelody home page) It allows to improve applications in QA and production Give facts about the average response times and number of executions Make decisions when trends are bad, before problems become too serious Optimize based on the more limiting response times Find the root causes of response times Verify the real improvement after optimization It includes summary charts showing the evolution over time of the following indicators: Number of executions, mean execution times and percentage of errors of http requests, sql requests, jsp pages or methods of business façades (if EJB3, Spring or Guice) Java memory Java CPU Number of user sessions Number of jdbc connections These charts can be viewed on the current day, week, month, year or cu...

Sounds unexpected, but actually you can perform different operations in this mode, even with graphic data. -server The JDK includes two flavors of the VM -- a client-side offering, and a VM tuned for server applications. These two solutions share the Java HotSpot runtime environment code base, but use different compilers that are suited to the distinctly unique performance characteristics of clients and servers. These differences include the compilation inlining policy and heap defaults. Although the Server and the Client VMs are similar, the Serv...
