About Stream-JMX

tnt4j-stream-jmx version 12.0 changes predefined system properties naming from com.jkoolcloud.tnt4j.stream.jmx.xxxx.yyyy.zzzzz to tnt4j.stream.jmx.xxxx.yyyy.zzzzz by removing prefix com.jkoolcloud.. Mind to check your custom configurations and do changes!!!

tnt4j-stream-jmx (Formerly Known as PingJMX)

tnt4j-stream-jmx is licensed under the Nastel Technologies EULA.

Stream-JMX is a lightweight framework to stream and monitor JMX metrics.

Stream JMX metrics to:

  • Central monitoring server
  • File, socket, log4j
  • User-defined destinations

These metrics can be used to monitor health, performance, and availability of your JVMs and applications. Use Stream-JMX to embed a monitoring agent within your application and monitor memory, GC activity, CPU as well as user-defined MBeans.

Here is what you can do with Stream-JMX:

  • Periodic JVM heartbeat
  • Monitor memory utilization, GC activity, and memory leaks
  • Detect abnormal CPU usage (high/low)
  • Monitor threading, runtime and other JVM performance metrics
  • Monitor standard and custom MBean attributes
  • Conditional actions based on MBean attribute values
  • Conditional streaming based on custom filters
  • Application state dumps on JVM shutdown for diagnostics

Why Stream-JMX

Stream-JMX provides an easy, lightweight and secure way to stream and monitor JMX metrics from within Java runtime containers.

  • Stream JMX metrics out of the JVM container (vs. polling from outside/remote)
  • Makes it easy to monitor farms of JVMs and application servers
  • Reduce cyber-security risk: no need to enable remote JMX, SSL, security, ports, firewalls
  • Integration with monitoring tools for alerting, proactive monitoring (AutoPilot M6)
  • Integration with cloud analytics tools (https://www.meshiq.com via JESL)
  • Integration with log4j, slf4j, and jKoolCloud (via TNT4J event sinks)
  • Embedded application state dump framework for diagnostics
  • Easily build your own extensions, and monitors.

JESL provides a way to stream events generated by Stream-JMX to meshIQ. For more information on JESL visit: JESL project.
