Interested in our methodolgy for polling JMX/weblogic data?

[SAT QPass]

We have a huge weblogic server deployment and we are slurping up huge amounts of data from the MBeans both in weblogic and custom to our application. I was wondering if anybody would be interested in this and I will post accordingly. I would also appreciate constructive feedback on the process as well.

I would be interested in hearing about monitoring of WebLogic and WebSphere (anyone else?) applications. Please share your experience.

Well, in a separate thread a problem we have run into with the number of parameters we have created as a result of our method has exposed a bottleneck in the zabbix_agent (active) check process (which should be addressed in the next release according to Alexei). That said, after some thought I think we can definitely do a more effecient job and once I give it a revamp I think it will be ready for the community at large.

As a result, I would NOT advise anybody use our method at this time. I am going to go back to the drawing board and spend a bit of time on this issue and see if I can find a more effecient mechanism which I could in turn submit back to the community.

So while I was all happy to post away, our method has run a foul and could be done better anyway. I will share forthwith once we get it resolved. Sorry for getting everyone so excited, but it is really my fault for jumping the gun.

Is there any support for JMX in Java 1.4.x?, and if not, how can i be monitored else?

Update:

Also we have re-engineered our monitoring schema and it is vastly more effecient and heavily simplified. It works very well. I will be posting results this week.

The trick is to use WLShell to query the weblogic console, then it feeds the returned JMX data to Zabbix via the zabbix-sender utility.

Yes I would be interested in finding out how many connections there are to WebSphere.

wlshell latest beta supports any JMX 1.2 instance according to the release site, the primary mechanism for populating a zabbix instance via wlshell is to retrieve the Mbean value and make an external call to zabbix_sender. That is how we do it currently. I assume that since wlshell works with JMX 1.2 it would work with JBoss.
