Oracle GlassFish Server 3.0.1 Administration Guide

ProcedureTo View Common Monitoring Data

Use the --type option of the monitor subcommand to specify the object for which you want to display data, such as httplistener, jvm, webmodule. If you use the monitor subcommand without specifying a type, an error message is displayed.

Output from the subcommand is displayed continuously in a tabular format. The --interval option can be used to display output at a particular interval (the default is 30 seconds).

Before You Begin

A monitorable object must be configured for monitoring before you can display data on the object. See To Enable Monitoring.

  1. Determine which type of monitorable object you want to monitor.

    Your choices for 3.0.1 are jvm, httplistener, and webmodule.

  2. Request the monitoring data by using the monitor(1) subcommand.
