Some great news from the BridgeWays side of things, we just released 3 new Beta management packs:
- BridgeWays Management Pack for WebSphere Application Servers
- BridgeWays Management Pack for WebLogic Servers
- BridgeWays Template for Java Attributes
These 3 MPs all use our JMX collector technology that allows us to connect to and consume data from JEE servers that is exposed via JMX. The template is very exciting because it allows you not only to monitor generic JVMs, but it also allows you to consume any MBean no matter what the JVM and that means you can start to monitor the JMX instrumented application running on top of the common JEE servers like JBoss, WebSphere, WebLogic and even Tomcat.
The WebSphere and WebLogic MPs provide you with preconfigured monitoring on the application servers, pulling in the server load, JDBC connections, thread pools and other metrics required to ensure the JEE servers are healthy.
The Java Template MP can be used along side the JEE Application server MP or to discover and configure monitoring of any generic JVM. The MP includes a standard SCOM template that you can use to specify mbean attributes to monitor and build performance views for.
