I have Java EE application running on heroku. I need measure load of server CPU. app was runing on my virtual server, I used command top. Can I measure load of CPU on heroku server? I need measure server CPU load when I send a lot of requests by JMeter from my desktop.

Answer 1

You could go for simply installing a Heroku addon designed for application performance monitoring. You can find a list of such addons in the Analytics section here.

I would personally use New Relic for performance monitoring and resource usage. Just call heroku addons:add newrelic in your command line and it installs automatically.

Answer 2

Is it possible to enable snmp port on heroku server? With that, you can install mrtg or other similar tools on your client, and get CPU load, memory usage, network usage and other information.

MRTG:  A tool to monitor the traffic load on network-links. Raw data collected via SNMP.
