JMX Monitoring

Java Management Extensions (JMX) is a technology that lets you implement management interfaces for Java applications. JConsole is a JMX-compliant monitoring tool, which comes with the Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.5 or later versions. Therefore, when you use a WSO2 product, JMX is enabled by default, which allows you to monitor the product using JConsole. 

Go to the WSO2 Administration Guide for detailed instructions on how to configure JMX for a WSO2 product and how to use JConsole for monitoring a product.

MBeans for WSO2 EI

 

When JMX is enabled, WSO2 EI exposes a number of management resources as JMX MBeans that can be used for managing and monitoring the running server. When you start JConsole, you can monitor these MBeans from the MBeans tab. While some of these MBeans (ServerAdmin and DataSource) are common to all WSO2 products, some MBeans are specific to WSO2 EI. 


The common MBeans are explained in detail in the WSO2 Administration Guide. Listed below are the MBeans that are specific to WSO2 EI.

For details on using JMX based mediation flow statistics in your EI server and detailed explanation of the relevant MBeans, see Monitoring JMX Based Statistics


This section summarizes the attributes and operations available for the following WSO2 EI specific MBeans:

Connection MBeans

These MBeans provide connection statistics for the HTTP and HTTPS transports. 

You can view the following Connection MBeans:

  • org.apache.synapse/PassThroughConnections/http-listener
  • org.apache.synapse/PassThroughConnections/http-sender
  • org.apache.synapse/PassThroughConnections/https-listener

Latency MBeans

This view provides statistics of the latencies from all backend services connected through the HTTP  and HTTPS transports. These statistics are provided as an aggregate value.

You can view the following Latency MBeans:

  • org.apache.synapse/PassthroughLatencyView/nio-http-http
  • org.apache.synapse/PassthroughLatencyView/nio-https-https

Attributes

Attribute NameDescription
AllTimeAvgLatencyAverage latency since latency recording was last reset.
LastxxxAvgLatencyAverage latency for last xxx time period. For example, LastHourAvgLatency returns the average latency for the last hour.
LastResetTimeLast time latency statistic recording was reset.

Operations

Operation NameDescription
reset()Clear recorded latency statistics and restart recording.

Threading MBeans

These MBeans are only available in the NHTTP transport and not in the default Pass Through transport.

You can view the following Threading MBeans:

  • org.apache.synapse/Threading/HttpClientWorker
  • org.apache.synapse/Threading/HttpServerWorker

Attributes

Attribute NameDescription
TotalWorkerCountTotal worker threads related to this server/client.
AvgUnblockedWorkerPercentageTime-averaged unblocked worker thread percentage.
AvgBlockedWorkerPercentageTime-averaged blocked worker thread percentage.
LastXxxBlockedWorkerPercentageBlocked worker thread percentage averaged for last Xxx time period.
DeadLockedWorkersNumber of deadlocked worker threads since last statistics reset.
LastResetTimeLast time thread statistic recordings was reset.

Operations

Operation NameDescription
reset()Clear recorded thread statistic and restart recording.

Transport MBeans

For each transport listener and sender enabled in WSO2 EI, there will be an MBean under the org.apache.axis2/Transport domain. For example, when the JMS transport is enabled, the following MBean will be exposed:

  • org.apache.axis2/Transport/jms-sender-n

You can also view the following Transport MBeans:

  • org.apache.synapse/Transport/passthru-http-receiver
  • org.apache.synapse/Transport/passthru-http-sender
  • org.apache.synapse/Transport/passthru-https-receiver
