There's a difference between JMX and JSR 77. JMX is the basic management API and is covered by JSR 3. It does not include any remote access capability at all, it does allow for remote adaptors such as Http, RMI and SNMP. JSR 77 is for management of the J2EE platform. It does include remote access via MEJB and SNMP. Note that the MIBs defined in JSR 77 are for J2EE entities and are not oriented towards an MTA such as James. The JMX implementations that I know anything about (Jboss and MX4J) include Http and RMI adaptors but do not include an SNMP adaptor. There are commercial SNMP adaptors available but no Open Source ones AFAIK. > > > This makes the monitor service much simpler, but it puts a lot more > > burden on the individual components to set up the hierachy > > associations and the aggregation using listeners. > > Is there a better way? I'd prefer to configure the metrics sets and assoiations in the monitor service and then the components simply do a lookup. This is much less intrusive for the components and also means they do not need to know what relationship their metric set has to other metric sets in the system.
