Dear Wiki user,

You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Tomcat Wiki" for change 
notification.

The "FAQ/Monitoring" page has been changed by ChristopherSchultz:
http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/Monitoring

New page:
Monitoring of a running Tomcat instance can be done in several ways, but 
observing a Tomcat instance via JMX beans will give you the best information 
available through standard interfaces (i.e. JMX). You can find information 
about [http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/monitoring.html|connecting to 
Tomcat via JMX] in the Tomcat Users' Guide. Rather than repeating that 
information here (which is mostly about configuration, connection, etc.), 
please go read the official documentation.

This page is intended to be a community-curated collection of useful JMX beans 
that may be useful to you ''after'' you have made your JMX connection and want 
to observe interesting data through Tomcat's (and other) JMX beans.

== JVM Memory Information ==

You will certainly want to inspect your JVM's memory usage. Here are some JMX 
beans and attributes that can be used to do so.

JMX Bean: java.lang:type=Memory
Attribute: HeapMemoryUsage

The attribute value is a javax.management.openmbean.CompositeData which 
contains 4 keys: committed, init, max, and used. The 'used' key is probably the 
most useful (or a combination of 'used' / 'max' to get a memory-usage metric as 
a ratio).

JMX Bean: java.lang:type=MemoryPool,name=CMS Perm Gen
Attribute: Usage

Similar to the HeapMemoryUsage MXBean described above, this one will give you 
information about the "PermGen" heap generation. Depending upon your garbage 
collection and other memory settings, you might have different MXBeans under 
java.lang:type=MemoryPool with different names. You should inspect each one to 
determine if they would be useful for you to inspect.
