How to do monitoring of an application server

Question

There are few services developed and hosted on jetty vergo and jboss server, now I have to monitor and finetune the application. I have to drill down upto code level so that I can find out which service method is taking how many CPU cycle, memory usage etc? what are the tools available or is there anyway I can drill down to code level using jvisualvm

Answer 1

well, there are several options, my preferred are:

• RHQ http://www.jboss.org/rhq
• https://github.com/jmxtrans/jmxtrans

If you really need to drill down, you can use tools like AppDynamics http://www.appdynamics.com/ (there's a free version).

Answer 2

Do you really need to create code as it is time consuming? May be it is going to be still to find a tool that is able to do it for you. I am not but have a look at the software that is called Anturis. I know that it can monitor various types of servers and so on. I have provided a link for you to consider it.
