Hi

May I know if there's anything in XYmon which can allow a java app or 
maybe tomcat to be monitored?

Not currently. I've been wanting to look at this for some time, and the 
"jmxtrans" tool seems like it could used to bridge between Xymon and 
JMX, but there isn't anything in Xymon right now that can do it.

Don't know if anyone else have been cooking up some extension scripts?


Regards,
Henrik

I've been using Javamelody, but not integrated with BB/Xymon.

With java, keeping a handle on open file descriptors and free memory
isn't a bad proxy for making sure java's not doing really bad
things.

I contributed this at Xymonton, we use it a lot for Tomcat, JBoss and Weblogic, I havent had much feedback so I have no idea whether others have found it useful :-
