Monitoring the Server through JConsole (before 4.0)

[robert@cts.no]

Hi, we're not in Java world, but rather .NET, so monotoring via JMX is unfamiliar to us. So what kind of monitoring is it, is it possible to monitor current connections and such? At the moment we run on a moderato version, and we're wondering if there's any capabilities that support such monitoring (connections), preferely from .NET. As I can figure out, the data adapter is not aware of the state of the server regarding this matter.

Hi Robert

Please find here a resume of the information available through the JMX interface.
The documentation is in javadoc format, though the JMX interface is not necessarily a java interface. Note that some of the available methods are not implemented yet.

I don't know if there are tools which allow a .NET program to connect to a JMX server. I think there are, as the JMX specifications were designed with interoperability in mind.

As JMX support is not available in the free edition, in order to evaluate it you should download the Allegro/Presto/Vivace package and get a trial license.

While in Moderato version, the only monitoring features available are the monitoring console (see GETTING_STARTED.TXT) and the logging of monitoring data (look for LightstreamerMonitorText and LightstreamerMonitorTAB in lightstreamer_log_conf.xml).
No support is available for importing these statistics from external programs.
