Hi UmUm,

you should take a look on Zapcat. The passive Zapcat agent works just fine. At the moment I struggle myself implementing an active agent.

Hi Stefan,
First thanks a lot for you reply.

For the Zapact ,I want to know if it provides all metrics needed for the mointored system as CPU, memory..etc or it just provides metrics for JVM ? .

I hope you implment the active agent scussfully .

Thanks again.

Hey Stefan ,

Thanks a lot for your reply.

I have one question about zapact it provides monitoring for all system metrics as CPU , power .. etc ? or just for JVM metrics? .


Thanks and I hope you implment the active successfully.

Hi UmUm,

Zabcat primarily allows to monitor MBean attributes. However, with some custom code you can monitor everything that is measurable by Java code.

In order to monitor CPU, ... I would install the standard Zabbix agent on the machines and take the measurements from it.
