Application Monitoring Roadmap

Out of the box J2EE app servers (in our case weblogic) has some monitoring and fantastic logging mechanism however there is not much in the way of monitoring that can be used to really pinpoint what is happening with your applications and or your EJB's servlets database connections etc.

There are some things that can help you here these tools are:

Wily Introscope (as used by BEA internally) by Computer Associates
Quest Jprobe

There are some others out there but these are the main 2.

Other ways to monitor is to use JMX this is a purpose architected system inbuilt in J2EE model
that is effectivly a structure for writing a system to monitor your apps.

JMX is implemented using Mbeans
