JMX
Java Management Extensions (JMX) is a standard component of the Java Platform. JMX gives developers a standard and simple way to manage resources, including services, devices, and applications. JMX is dynamic, so you can manage and monitor resources as soon as they are created, implemented, or installed.
The Sumo Logic App for JMX allows you to analyze and gain insights about Java applications. The dashboards provide a quick glance at various deployment metrics like memory, CPU, GC performance, and thread behavior, so you can troubleshoot unexpected behavior in your Java environment and the applications running in it.
Metric Types
The Sumo Logic App for JMX collects Prometheus metrics from Java applications, via the Jolokia Plugin for telegraf.
The following types of metrics are collected from JMX:
- CPU Metrics
- Garbage Collection
- Memory
- Memory Pool
- Compilation
- Threads
- ClassLoader
