hobbit bea graphing

I'll be glad to beta the bea piece whenever you are ready! That would
stop the hounds from telling me we're moving to Nagios.... BLAH!!!!!

Any time frame on this project?

enable the monitoring/graphing of bea weblogic servers? That would

It's "work-in-progress" currently.

I've enabled the SNMP agent on some BEA servers, and use a simple
script to collect memory statistics from the JRockit JVM.  There are
some detailed info and a sample script to collect these stats in the
hobbitd/larrd/do_bea.c

However, I was fooled initially because I didn't realize that when you
have a BEA management node handling several servers, then you need to
use a special SNMP community-string to pick up statistics from the
managed servers, rather than the administration-node. So unless you
are running stand-alone BEA servers, these statistics won't be of much
use to you.

But obviously, I do need some performance metrics for my BEA servers,
so it is being worked on. My current setup collects the JRockit
metrics, but also the request-count (serviced, pending, total) and
idle thread count for each of the Java containers - I need to get this
into Hobbit to collect the data, and write up some graph definitions.
