I've done a presentation about how to do this with JMX. Since you are using a persistent server that is already running Java, you could maintain a persistent JMX connection with each of the servers to monitor, and so some of the tools mentioned within are probably less relevant, but here it is: http://people.apache.org/~schultz/ApacheCon%20NA%202014/Monitoring%20Apache%20Tomcat%20with%20JMX.pdf That will show you what information you can get from Tomcat (e.g. request counts) as well as how to publish whatever information you want to make available from your own web application. If you write something cool, consider sticking it up on the wiki or something. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJTdjOAAAoJEBzwKT+lPKRYBLQP/i4n8gy+7vE2ydGd302Qh9RY ZXFjLUJZt4HiBm3OYQLGOMb3mSgcyYE32CFwmgNPUv5zrJdIlkBgymPBh1JN4fXk KjWpX6uFKBzKVVa+p0IWCwQ0dGq1xvE01g2UcitivUiwV3O1FlXdOn/qOGtWvLqS Q02VB0NrUxE3Y+HUGA6pufthhApyFQ81Vl+XUy7suh2k42WsITBed4nQBot5RE5u NjaZS4pLYoL/t1q0Q2pFo+z/INZAjs1FsX750sMaOfLfwVDI7c4Hp1zjO74CpWfV zOoSNQtcC96QYSILL90eBs2qT/lpc+/HPK6KFZJy6U2H29E83VKrUG58jjT5Khjv JDPSVz1aidFKJqt3mrrw2FwiewwlVo1z39MFLtGgc/z12BnAwrwdnsE2j0teC0kZ hq9+GxUUebLb7N3jyKHlRUpWHTEtAsfoYMppYEV+x1IFSKvEwuIv/xDHHGqq+5jx 27BOA3xPc7QTjCnpBhqU8CQFuohp+zKeo8qU+MxEkOgBYHCx7xYPwSWYDg1w/hMF a30g126eh9aMMrMeCc0NuhPwKe1pescko6IgLgvshKMBNTM7vO4kp7CBaqkY52bw roQxvNIKk5S8ki9biHtmTOLYTQjqZ2byzKM4bgI16aiQsSK13S4iVu7jxeq6IBc0 C0R7koNee6WgzEETFX0B =DTAc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
