All,
I have developed a Perl script that can be used with Nagios to check
on a Tomcat instance via the manager's JMXProxyServlet. Someone asked
me to publish it, which I'm happy to do. I'm just wondering what the
best thing to do is.
I see several options:
1. Submit a patch to the Tomcat source
2. Drop the file into the Tomcat wiki
3. Stick the file on Apache's related-projects stash
-- I have forgotten the address at this point :(
4. Host it on my own website
Tomcat's source doesn't include a "contrib" directory or anything like
that, so probably #1 isn't the best option, but I figured I'd mention
it in case someone wants to tell me a better place in the Tomcat
source I could put it.
I'm not sure the wiki is the best place for things like scripts. At
least it will be available and versioned-with-history: anyone can make
modifications to it and everyone benefits.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to which way I should go?
Thanks,

Chris,
First of all, thank you for this. I've been toying with a similar idea
(and plugging the entire mess into the Icenga remoting script), but I've
not had the chance.
Right now, I think the Wiki might be a good place. Maybe under the
"Troubleshooting" section? I don't know, there doesn't seem to be a good
monitoring section in the How To area of the Wiki.
Maybe you could start one?
The fact that you have forgotten the related projects' stash URL is a
good indication that most people don't know of it, or have forgotten it,
or are otherwise unaware of it. I know I am. So unless the location gets
broadcast pretty strongly, then your good work will go off to the dusty
bin of unvisited URLs.
Your blog is great as well, I just don't know how much extra access and
traffic you're looking for . . .
. . . . just my two cents
