== 8 Administering the Monitoring Service

This chapter explains how to monitor the {productName} 7 components and services by using the `asadmin` command-line
utility. Instructions for configuring JConsole to monitor {productName} resources are also provided.

The following topics are addressed here:

* link:#ablus[About Monitoring]
* link:#ablvp[Configuring Monitoring]
* link:#ablvs[Viewing Common Monitoring Data]
* link:#ghmct[Viewing Comprehensive Monitoring Data]
* link:#giwqm[Configuring JConsole to View {productName} Monitoring
Data]

Instructions for monitoring by using the Administration Console are
contained in the Administration Console online help.

For information on using REST interfaces for monitoring, see
link:general-administration.html#gjipx[Using REST Interfaces to
Administer {productName}].

=== About Monitoring

Monitoring is the process of reviewing the statistics of a system to
improve performance or solve problems. The monitoring service can track
and display operational statistics, such as the number of requests per
second, the average response time, and the throughput. By monitoring the
state of various components and services deployed in {productName},
you can identify performance bottlenecks, predict failures, perform root
cause analysis, and ensure that everything is functioning as expected.
Data gathered by monitoring can also be useful in performance tuning and
capacity planning.

For this release of {productName}, monitoring is exposed in a modular
way so that many client modules can access and display the monitoring
statistics. These clients include the Administration Console, the
`asadmin` utility, AMX, and REST interfaces.

The following topics are addressed here:

* link:#ghbaz[How the Monitoring Tree Structure Works]
* link:#gitkq[About Monitoring for Add-on Components]
* link:#ghbfq[Tools for Monitoring {productName}]

[[ghbaz]][[GSADG00727]][[how-the-monitoring-tree-structure-works]]

==== How the Monitoring Tree Structure Works

A monitorable object is a component, subcomponent, or service that can
be monitored. {productName} uses a tree structure to track
monitorable objects. Because the tree is dynamic, the tree changes as
{productName} components are added or removed.

In the tree, a monitorable object can have child objects (nodes) that
represent exactly what can be monitored for that object. All child
objects are addressed using the dot (.) character as a separator. These
constructed names are referred to as dotted names. Detailed information
on dotted names is available in the
link:reference-manual/dotted-names.html#GSRFM00268[`dotted-names`(5ASC)] help page.

The following command lists the monitorable child objects of the
instance `server`:

[source]
----
asadmin> list --monitor "server.*"

server.applications
server.connector-service
server.http-service
server.jms-service
server.jvm
server.network
server.orb
server.resources
server.security
server.thread-pool
server.transaction-service
server.web
----

Each object is represented by a dotted name. Dotted names can also
address specific attributes in monitorable objects. For example, the
`jvm` object has a `memory` attribute with a statistic called
`maxheapsize`. The following dotted name addresses the attribute:

[source]
----
server.jvm.memory.maxheapsize
----

Although an object is monitorable, it is not necessarily being actively
monitored. For instructions on activating monitoring, see
link:#ablvp[Configuring Monitoring].

[[abluv]][[GSADG00647]][[tree-structure-of-monitorable-objects]]

===== Tree Structure of Monitorable Objects

Each monitorable object has a hierarchical tree structure. In the tree,
a replaceable such as *statistics represents the name of the attribute
that you can show statistics for.

[[gitkq]][[GSADG00728]][[about-monitoring-for-add-on-components]]

==== About Monitoring for Add-on Components

An add-on component typically generates statistics that {productName}
can gather at runtime. Adding monitoring capabilities enables an add-on
component to provide statistics to {productName} in the same way as
components that are supplied in the {productName} distributions. As a
result, you can use the same administrative interfaces to monitor
statistics from any installed {productName} component, regardless of
the origin of the component.

[[ghbfq]][[GSADG00729]][[tools-for-monitoring-glassfish-server]]

==== Tools for Monitoring {productName}

The following `asadmin` subcommands are provided for monitoring the
services and components of {productName}:

* The `enable-monitoring`, `disable-monitoring`, or the `get` and `set`
subcommands are used to turn monitoring on or off. For instructions, see
link:#ablvp[Configuring Monitoring].
* The `monitor` `type` subcommand is used to display basic data for a
particular type of monitorable object. For instructions, see
link:#ablvs[Viewing Common Monitoring Data].
* The `list` `--monitor` subcommand is used to display the objects that
can be monitored with the `monitor` subcommand. For guidelines and
instructions, see link:#ablwh[Guidelines for Using the `list` and `get`
Subcommands for Monitoring].
* The `get` subcommand is used to display comprehensive data, such as
the attributes and values for a dotted name. The `get` subcommand used
with a wildcard parameter displays all available attributes for any
monitorable object. For additional information, see
link:#ablwh[Guidelines for Using the `list` and `get` Subcommands for
Monitoring].

[[ablvp]][[GSADG00558]][[configuring-monitoring]]

=== Configuring Monitoring

By default, the monitoring service is enabled for {productName}, but
monitoring for the individual modules is not. To enable monitoring for a
module, you change the monitoring level for that module to LOW or HIGH,
You can choose to leave monitoring OFF for objects that do not need to
be monitored.

* LOW. Simple statistics, such as create count, byte count, and so on
* HIGH. Simple statistics plus method statistics, such as method count,
duration, and so on
* OFF. No monitoring, no impact on performance

The following tasks are addressed here:

* link:#ablvr[To Enable Monitoring]
* link:#gglcu[To Disable Monitoring]

[[ablvr]][[GSADG00386]][[to-enable-monitoring]]

==== To Enable Monitoring

Use the `enable-monitoring` subcommand to enable the monitoring service
itself, or to enable monitoring for individual modules. Monitoring is
immediately activated, without restarting {productName}.

You can also use the link:reference-manual/set.html#GSRFM00226[`set`] subcommand to enable
monitoring for a module. Using the `set` command is not a dynamic
procedure, so you need to restart {productName} for your changes to
take effect.

1. Determine which services and components are currently enabled for
monitoring.
+
[source]
----
asadmin> get server.monitoring-service.module-monitoring-levels.*
----
This example output shows that the HTTP service is not enabled (OFF for
monitoring), but other objects are enabled:

[[gglcu]][[GSADG00387]][[to-disable-monitoring]]

==== To Disable Monitoring

Use the `disable-monitoring` subcommand to disable the monitoring
service itself, or to disable monitoring for individual modules.
Monitoring is immediately stopped, without restarting {productName}.

You can also use the link:reference-manual/set.html#GSRFM00226[`set`] subcommand to disable
monitoring for a module. Using the `set` command is not a dynamic
procedure, so you need to restart {productName} for your changes to
take effect.

1. Determine which services and components currently are enabled for
monitoring.
+
[source]
----

[[ablvs]][[GSADG00559]][[viewing-common-monitoring-data]]

=== Viewing Common Monitoring Data

Use the `monitor` subcommand to display basic data on commonly-monitored
objects.

* link:#gelol[To View Common Monitoring Data]
* link:#ghmdc[Common Monitoring Statistics]

[[gelol]][[GSADG00388]][[to-view-common-monitoring-data]]

==== To View Common Monitoring Data

Use the `--type` option of the `monitor` subcommand to specify the
object for which you want to display data, such as `httplistener`,
`jvm`, `webmodule`. If you use the `monitor` subcommand without
specifying a type, an error message is displayed.

Output from the subcommand is displayed continuously in a tabular
format. The `--interval` option can be used to display output at a
particular interval (the default is 30 seconds).

[[GSADG877]]

Before You Begin

A monitorable object must be configured for monitoring before you can
display data on the object. See link:#ablvr[To Enable Monitoring].

1. Determine which type of monitorable object you want to monitor.

=== Viewing Comprehensive Monitoring Data

By applying the `list` and `get` subcommands against the tree structure
using dotted names, you can display more comprehensive monitoring data,
such as a description of each of the statistics and its unit of
measurement.

The following topics are addressed here:

* link:#ablwh[Guidelines for Using the `list` and `get` Subcommands for
Monitoring]
* link:#ablvv[To View Comprehensive Monitoring Data]
* link:#ghmcn[Comprehensive Monitoring Statistics]

[[ablwh]][[GSADG00731]][[guidelines-for-using-the-list-and-get-subcommands-for-monitoring]]

==== Guidelines for Using the `list` and `get` Subcommands for Monitoring

The underlying assumptions for using the `list` and `get` subcommands
with dotted names are:

* A `list` subcommand that specifies a dotted name that is not followed
by a wildcard (`*`) lists the current node's immediate children. For
example, the following subcommand lists all immediate children belonging
to the `server` node:
+
[source]
----
list --monitor server
----
* A `list` subcommand that specifies a dotted name followed by a
wildcard of the form `.*` lists a hierarchical tree of child nodes from
the specified node. For example, the following subcommand lists all
children of the `applications` node, their subsequent child nodes, and
so on:
+
[source]
----
list --monitor server.applications.*
----
* A `list` subcommand that specifies a dotted name preceded or followed
by a wildcard of the form *dottedname or dotted * name or dottedname *
lists all nodes and their children that match the regular expression
created by the specified matching pattern.
* A `get` subcommand followed by a `.*` or a `*` gets the set of
attributes and their values that belong to the node specified.

For example, the following table explains the output of the `list` and
`get` subcommands used with the dotted name for the `resources` node.

[[GSADG882]][[sthref31]][[ggnpb]]


Table 8-4 Example Resources Level Dotted Names

[width="100%",cols="23%,41%,36%",options="header",]
|===
|Subcommand |Dotted Name |Output
|`list --monitor` |`server.resources` |List of pool names.

|`list --monitor` |`server.resources.``connection-pool1` |No attributes,
but a message saying "Use `get` subcommand with the `--monitor` option
to view this node's attributes and values."

|`get --monitor` |`server.resources.``connection-pool1.*` |List of
attributes and values corresponding to connection pool attributes.
|===


For detailed information on dotted names, see the
link:reference-manual/dotted-names.html#GSRFM00268[`dotted-names`(5ASC)] help page.

[[ablvv]][[GSADG00389]][[to-view-comprehensive-monitoring-data]]

==== To View Comprehensive Monitoring Data

Although the `monitor` subcommand is useful in many situations, it does
not offer the complete list of all monitorable objects. To work with
comprehensive data for an object type, use the `list` `monitor` and the
`get` `monitor` subcommands followed by the dotted name of a monitorable
object.

[[GSADG883]]

Before You Begin

A monitorable object must be configured for monitoring before you can
display information about the object. See link:#ablvr[To Enable
Monitoring] if needed.

1. List the objects that are enabled for monitoring by using the
link:reference-manual/list.html#GSRFM00145[`list`] subcommand.
+
For example, the following subcommand lists all components and services
that have monitoring enabled for instance `server`.
+
[source]
----
asadmin> list --monitor "*"
server.web
server.connector-service
server.orb
server.jms-serviceserver.jvm
server.applications
server.http-service
server.thread-pools
----
2. Get data for a monitored component or service by using the
link:reference-manual/get.html#GSRFM00139[`get`] subcommand.

[[giwqm]][[GSADG00561]][[configuring-jconsole-to-view-glassfish-server-monitoring-data]]

=== Configuring JConsole to View {productName} Monitoring Data

Java SE provides tools to connect to an MBean Server and view the MBeans
registered with the server. JConsole is one such popular JMX Connector
Client and is available as part of the standard Java SE distribution.
When you configure JConsole for use with {productName}, {productName} becomes the JMX Connector's server end and JConsole becomes the
JMX connector's client end.

[[ggpfh]][[GSADG00390]][[to-connect-jconsole-to-glassfish-server]]

==== To Connect JConsole to {productName}

Java SE 6 enhanced management and monitoring of the virtual machine by
including a Platform MBean Server and by including managed beans
(MBeans) to configure the virtual machine.

To view all MBeans, {productName} provides a configuration of the
standard JMX connector server called System JMX Connector Server. As
part of {productName} startup, an instance of this JMX Connector
Server is started. Any compliant JMX connector client can connect to the
server using the JMX Connector Server.

By default, {productName} is configured with a non-secure System JMX
Connector Server. If this is an issue, the JMX connector can be removed.
However, access can be restricted to a specific IP address (for example,
the loopback address) by setting `address` to `locahost`.

1. Start the domain.
+
For instructions, see link:domains.html#ggoda[To Start a Domain].
2. Start JConsole using this format: JDK_HOME``/bin/jconsole``
+
For example:
+
[source]
----
/usr/java/bin/jconsole
----
The JConsole Connect to Agent window is displayed.
3. Click the Remote tab and type the host name and port.
+
Always connect remotely with JConsole, otherwise MBeans will not load
automatically.
4. Click Connect.
5. In the Remote Process text box, specify the JMX Service URL.
+
For example:
+
[source]
----
service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://localhost:8686/jmxrmi
----
The JMX Service URL is emitted by the server at startup, looking
something like this:
+
[source]
----
[#|2009-12-03T10:25:17.737-0800|INFO|glassfish7.0|
x..system.tools.admin.org.glassfish.server|_ThreadID=20;
_ThreadName=Thread-26;|JMXStartupService: Started JMXConnector, JMXService
URL = service:jmx:rmi://localhost:8686/jndi/rmi://localhost:8686/jmxrmi|#]
----
However, in most cases, simply entering `host:port` is fine, such as,
192.168.1.150:8686. The long Service URL is not needed.
+

[NOTE]
