How to see sessions in my tomcat hosts

[Alex Florentino]

Hi all,

I created an host for me sub-domain sample:

test.mysite.com

but when I logon in tomcat admin it list all applications for localhost host.

there is some way show has many session my host have.

I need it because when update my production environment I not can't stop tomcat before see there is some user.

thanks a lot.

You should be able to use the Manager application so that it looks at that host only. Try a URL like:

http://test.mysite.com/manager/html/list

It should show the number of sessions for each web application.

Tomcat manager applications are 'by Host' so, if you've set up a host other then localhost in your server.xml file, you may need to install another copy of the manager application.

If this is really important to you, you might want to add a component to your application that shows a little more than the Tomcat manager, which only shows how many sessions per app are open.

I have a sample application on my site that shows how to see more information about each session, like, how long it's been idle, who is logged in, and the last page that that user hit.

Look for SessionMonitor

Hmm - well, in my Tomcat 5.5.9 installation there is only one "tomcatxx/server/webapps/manager" directory and I have 5 different Hosts defined. I can start a manager session for each Host with no problem.

it not works... my host definition:
my tomcat is 4.1

<Host name="test.mysite.com" debug="1" appBase="c:/ASISites/mytest" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true">
 
<Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger" directory="logs" prefix="mytest." suffix=".txt" timestamp="true"/>
<Context path="" docBase="." debug="0" reloadable="true" crossContext="true"></Context>
 
<Context path="/ger" docBase="C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\server\webapps\manager" debug="0"
              reloadable="true" crossContext="true">
</Context>
</Host>

I got error: HTTP Status 404

This has changed between 5.0 and 5.5.
I haven't set up multiple hosts since using 5.0
From: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.0-doc/manager-howto.html

If you have Tomcat configured to support multiple virtual hosts (websites) you would need to configure a Manager for each.

Alex:
This is also the case for your version (4.1)
See this link for configuring the manager application for your host:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-4.1-doc/manager-howto.html
