Monitor and graph JVM heap size

Post by jpwallen »

I am trying to monitor and graph the JVM heap size for a tomcat server. I have tried the check_jmx plugin but it does not come with graphs. I have also tried the check_was but that seems to only work on IBM application servers. Does anyone know of a plugin that can graph this?

A quick search turned up check_tomcat.pl, which may do the job.

I have check_jmx doing this exact check and rrdtool graphing it. I got the graphing info here: http://leanjavaengineering.wordpress.co ... ps-part-2/

and of course, here is the plugin with pretty good instructions: http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Pl ... mx/details
