Sun GlassFish Message Queue 4.4 Technical Overview

Java ES Monitoring Framework Support

Message Queue supports the Sun Java Enterprise System (Java ES) Monitoring Framework, which allows Java Enterprise System components to be monitored using a common graphical interface. This interface is implemented by a web-based console called the Sun Java System Monitoring Console. If you are running Message Queue along with other Java ES components, you might find it more convenient to use a single interface to manage all these components.

The Java ES monitoring framework defines a common data model (CMM) to be used by all Java ES component products. This model enables a centralized and uniform view of all Java ES components. Message Queue exposes the following objects to the Java ES monitoring framework:

Each one of these objects is mapped to a CMM object whose attributes can be monitored using the Java ES monitoring console. At runtime, administrators can use the console to view performance statistics, create rules to monitor automatically, and acknowledge alarms. For detailed information about the mapping of Message Queue objects to CMM objects, see the Sun Java Enterprise System Monitoring Guide.

Using the Java ES Monitoring Framework will not impact broker performance because all the work of gathering metrics is done by the monitoring framework, which pulls data from the broker's existing monitoring data infrastructure.
