stack updated HBASE-12455: -------------------------- Attachment: 12455.v2.txt with_descriptions.json raw.json Thanks for the prompt [~eclark] This should do. It prints out descriptions if they are non-null and if they are not the same as the attribute name. I've uploaded what a page looks like now and then what happens when you ad '?description=true'. If I get a +1, I'll commit and update refguide at same time. Will file follow-on issue to go over the metrics descriptions to add info where descriptions are unclear and to add some where they are missing. > Add 'description' to bean and attribute output when you do > /jmx?description=true > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-12455 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-12455 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: metrics > Reporter: stack > Fix For: 2.0.0, 0.99.2 > > Attachments: 12455.txt, 12455.v2.txt, raw.json, with_descriptions.json > > > Its hard figuring what our metrics mean. Each attribute and bean actually has > a description but its hard to get at. In mission control, etc., you have to > click on each attribute to see the description. Its painful. Because the > description is rarely read, they are not as info-full as they could be. > If you do /jmx in the UI, you get a dump of all beans associated with the > server but its just the attribute/bean name + value. The description is there > but its not displayed. We should give option to display descriptions. It > would be good for those exploring what metrics are available. We actually > point folks at jvisualvm in the refguide to figure what metrics are > available. Would be useful if we could point them at something that was > easier to navigate. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
