JMX in the realworld: Lessons from the Trenches October 2, 2007

Abstract
Tom Lubinski of SL Corporation will make suggestions on what to think about in structuring your
JMX data so it can be easily retrieved, viewed, analyzed and acted upon for monitoring and managing
your applications. His talk may help you avoid this common refrain after your first JMX attempt:
"if we had thought about how this data would be used, we might have structured it differently".

Tom will discuss:

* Tradeoffs in choosing Data structures and Property Columns
* Effective Use of Wildcard Syntax
* Adapting your data for Monitoring and Dashboards
* What to know about Polling and Notifications

He will give examples of what to do and what not to do, gained from working with companies like
Oracle, BEA, Orbitz and others. He will finish with a demo of a real-time JMX monitoring application.

Speaker
