What good monitoring tools for JBoss are there?

June 11, 2007 11:42 AM

Anyone know popular/easy tools for monitoring JBoss server performance?

I need to diagnose some performance problems on a webapp that runs on JBoss. Unfortunately, I have little to no knowledge about JBoss (or java webapp monitoring). Are there any tools that would help trace what parts of individual requests are hanging? Text mode, GUI or web interfaces are acceptable. We have lots of tools for testing and monitoring during development, but are getting unexpected behavior in production with real data, and thus need to monitor a production system. Anyone familiar with this?

PerformaSure or Foglight from Quest. Commercial apps.

Take a peek at the Netbeans Profiler and also Borlands OptimizeIt (think you can get a 30 day trial) jconsole is also pretty good for an overview

I spent all day yesterday walking through call trees in JProfiler. I think it's pretty awesome, actually, and the site claims that it supports JBoss.
