Hi all,

I have a requirement to monitor the usage of my application server to check the performance....like reponse time,CPU usage,free memory...etc..

The application server is Websphere 3.5 in Unix boxes.

Are there any open source s/w that help me in this??

Regards

this question has been asked many times on this forum.

The following site has a large list of both free and pay tools.

JAMon in the link below is an open source offering.

Yes, the current version works in jdk 1.4 or higher. Older versions work in jdk 1.2 or higher.

Keep in mind JAMon is an API as well as a tool that allows you to track perforamnce of pages and SQL. This is a strength and a weakness.

If you want something to track cpu/memory issues other tools do better, however jamon is great for writing these other tools, or tracking things that other programs don't.

I put the following free memory check into one of my programs recently. It also uses the new JAMonBufferListener capability to track info about the environment when memory is low (such as the time the event occurred, and what was running in the program at that time).

jamon simply uses servlet filters to do monitor page hits, so you edit the web.xml of your web application. You can specify file names or wildcards. Here is some info on the matter from the jamon home page.

Here is an article on servlet filters.
