Otis, Unfortunately introducing a new third party app isn't an option for me though I can understand your bias toward SPM. I agree that extending a RHB for monitoring doesn't feel right which is why I was asking for a better place to put it, as part of a suggestion that I submit a patch from solr-user. An unapplied patch on a jira issue is better than no patch at all, right?
