  <section name="Introduction">

  <p>Monitoring is a key aspect of system administration. Looking inside a
     running server, obtaining some statistics or reconfiguring some aspects of
     an application are all daily administration tasks.</p>

  </section>

  <section name="Enabling JMX Remote">

    <p><strong>Note:</strong> This configuration is needed only if you are
    going to monitor Tomcat remotely. It is not needed if you are going
    to monitor it locally, using the same user that Tomcat runs with.</p>

    <p>The Oracle website includes the list of options and how to configure
    JMX Remote on Java 6:
        <a href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/management/agent.html">
        http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/management/agent.html</a>.
    </p>
    <p>The following is a quick configuration guide for Java 6:</p>
    <p>Add the following parameters to <code>setenv.bat</code> script of your
    Tomcat (see <a href="RUNNING.txt">RUNNING.txt</a> for details).<br/>
    <em>Note:</em> This syntax is for Microsoft Windows. The command has
    to be on the same line. It is wrapped to be more readable. If Tomcat is
    running as a Windows service, use its configuration dialog to set
    java options for the service.
    For un*xes remove <code>"set "</code> from beginning of the line.
    </p>

set CATALINA_OPTS=-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote
  -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=%my.jmx.port%
  -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false
  -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false
</source>

    <ol>
    <li>If you require authorization, add and change this:
<source>
  -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=true
  -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.password.file=../conf/jmxremote.password
  -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.access.file=../conf/jmxremote.access
</source>
    </li>
    <li>edit the access authorization file <em>$CATALINA_BASE/conf/jmxremote.access</em>:
<source>
monitorRole readonly
controlRole readwrite
</source>
    </li>
    <li>edit the password file <em>$CATALINA_BASE/conf/jmxremote.password</em>:
<source>
monitorRole tomcat
controlRole tomcat
</source>
    <b>Tip</b>: The password file should be read-only and only accessible by the
    operating system user Tomcat is running as.
    </li>
    </ol>
    <p><strong>Note:</strong> The JSR 160 JMX-Adaptor opens a second data channel
    on a random port. That is a problem when you have a local firewall installed.
    To fix it, configure a <code>JmxRemoteLifecycleListener</code>, as described
    in <a href="config/listeners.html">listeners</a> documentation.
    </p>

  </section>

  <section name="Manage Tomcat with JMX remote Ant Tasks">
   <p>To simplify JMX usage with Ant 1.6.x, a set of tasks is provided that may
   be used with antlib.</p>
   <p><b>antlib</b>: Copy your catalina-ant.jar from $CATALINA_HOME/lib to $ANT_HOME/lib.</p>
   <p>The following example shows the JMX Accessor usage:<br/>

  <section name="Using the JMXProxyServlet">

    <p>
      Tomcat offers an alternative to using remote (or even local) JMX
      connections while still giving you access to everything JMX has to offer:
      Tomcat's
      <a href="api/org/apache/catalina/manager/JMXProxyServlet.html">JMXProxyServlet</a>.
    </p>
    
    <p>
      The JMXProxyServlet allows a client to issue JMX queries via an HTTP
      interface. This technique offers the following advantages over using
      JMX directly from a client program:
    </p>

    <ul>
      <li>You don't have to launch a full JVM and make a remote JMX connection
      just to ask for one small piece of data from a runing server</li>
      <li>You don't have to know how to work with JMX connections</li>
      <li>You don't need any of the complex configuration covered in the rest
      of this page</li>
      <li>Your client program does not have to be written in Java</li>
    </ul>

    <p>
      A perfect example of JMX overkill can be seen in the case of popular
      server-monitoring software such as Nagios or Ichinga: if you want to
      monitor 10 items via JMX, you will have to launch 10 JVMs, make 10 JMX
      connections, and then shut them all down every few minutes. With the
      JMXProxyServlet, you can make 10 HTTP connections and be done with it.
    </p>
    
    <p>
      You can find out more information about the JMXProxyServlet in the
      documentation for the 
      <a href="manager-howto.html#Using_the_JMX_Proxy_Servlet">Tomcat
      manager</a>.
