For example If I double click on the admingui I will get a Result in viewing the HTTP Service statistics for that particularĪpplication. Hosted in your server, double clicking on any of those applications

Under the Model you can see different web applications that you have Under the GlassFish node you can see Model and Performing for that particular application. To monitor each application separately to see how HTTP service is Now the funny part begins, Assuming that we have a dozen ofĪpplication hosted in the same GlassFish instance we expect to be able Failed, Incoming, AverageĬonnections, Keep Alive, and File Cache performance can be monitored Then switch to HTTP Service Tab in order to get a general overview of Now let your application server get some hit from the clients and Result in GlassFish gathering monitoring statistics about the HTTP Level and WebContainer Monitoring Level to High or LOW which will Make sure that you turn the HTTP Service monitoring To monitor and some of the plug-in specific configuration which we may This page shows general information about the JVM which we are going Monitoring information which VisialVM can gather about the runningĪpplication in different panels, something similar to the following You double click on an instance a window will open that shows all In my case I have a remote and a local GlassFish instances, When Now that The remote GlassFish is registered the right side panel should be similar to the fillowing figure default administrationĬredentials for GlassFish are admin/ adminadmin as username/ password.

GlassFish application server running on 192.168.1.100 we can rightĬlick on its node under the Remote node and select add JMX connection,Ī window will open which asks you to provide the connection information Port for GlassFish application server is 8686, therefore to add a Now on the remote host we may have several JXM enabledĪpplications running, each application on its own port. Right clicking on the node and adding the remote host, in my case I addġ92.168.1.100. Remote connection we need to register the host under the Remote node by Local JVM are listed under the local node and in order to create a Instance or we can select to monitor a remote Glassfish instance. Now we have two options, we can either monitor a local Glassfish Restart VisualVM and now we are ready to connect to a GlassFish instance.

Starting from JDK 6 update 7 visualVM is included in the Sun JDK distribution.ĭownloading and installing latest version of visualVM is straight forward, just point to Download Page grab the zip file, extract the zip file content and you are ready to go. VisualVM does not works with older JDK or any JRE either 6 or 7. VisualVM is JDK tool based on NetBeans platform, NetBeans profiler, and a handful of plug-ins which let us profile any Java application running in JDK 6 or 7. I disucssed some of these features here and in this we will see how we can use visualvm and its plugin as a desktop application to monitor GlassFish HTTP service. The GlassFish application server has some monitoring features which are exposed through its administration channels including Administration Console and asadmin utility.
