Developing and Enhancing the Java Monitoring Framework with JMX 

Resources such as Java applications and services can use the Monitoring Framework of SAP NetWeaver to write monitoring data. The technology used to do this is based on the Java Management Extensions (JMX) standard. Using the monitoring infrastructure, the monitoring data can be forwarded to the central monitoring system and monitored there. Data that is provided by monitored resources to the Computing Center Management System (CCMS) of the central monitoring system can be displayed in SAP NetWeaver Administrator, in SAP Solution Manager, and in the CCMS itself.

Two steps are required to extract monitoring data with the JMX technology:

·        Write an XML file for the resource, in which you define the monitors, objects, and so on that are to be added to the display the extracted data in the tree structure of the monitor. This XML file is deployed together with the resource. For more information about this XML file, see monitor-configuration.xml Structureand Creating the monitor-configuration.xml.

·        Add a monitoring MBean to the resource. This MBean is required by the monitors to extract the monitoring data at runtime. For more information about the monitoring MBean, see Registering Resource MBean(s).
