Things to monitor in a java production servers

There are many monitoring tools available in market for monitoring java production servers but personally I would recommend HP Business Availability center and Application manager as the best tools for monitoring and reporting.

But before we go for the software we need to finalize what are the minimum things to monitor in a java production server.

Below are some details :

 1.    CPU - Percent Used
2.    Memory Used - Free MB
Total mem = free -b | grep Mem | awk '{print $2}'
Free mem = free -b | grep "+" | awk '{print $4}'
Used mem = free -b | grep "+" | awk '{print $3}'
3.    Disk Space (/opt or D:) - Percent Free
4.    Threads Used - Number
5.    JBOSS/Tomcat - JBoss Active Thread Count
