  • Product information
  • Release notes

Overview

Apache Tomcat is an open-source web server developed by the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) and one of the most popular servlet containers available today. It’s an incredibly lightweight, flexible and extremely stable platform to build on. The OneAgent will allow you to trace activity on and through your Tomcat applications. Using this JMX extension you'll be able to collect additional key performance data to identify issues and optimize your Tomcat configurations.

Use cases

  • Identify issues with connection pool utilization and activity that could impact your web applications
  • Optimize your thread and connection pool configurations to increase efficiency while not impacting your application clients
  • Monitor your web application by viewing web request activity and performance data from Tomcat's perspective in context with other key metrics

Compatibility information

The following Mbeans are used for collecting data. If you not seeing metrics check that the following Mbeans exist using the tool of your choice (e.g. JConsole).

  • Connection pools:
    • Catalina:type=DataSource,name=*,class=*,context=*,host=* or Catalina:type=DataSource,name=*,class=*
  • Thread pools:
    • Catalina:type=ThreadPool,name=*
  • Web request activity
    • Catalina:type=GlobalRequestProcessor,name=*

For connection pools specifically, this extension only supports the standard Tomcat connection pooling implementation with Mbeans under the Catalina domain. It is not uncommon for a different pooling implementation to be used and in these cases you may need to create your own custom JMX extension to collect similar data (if it is available via JMX). You should consult your implementation's documentation or review available Mbeans in your Tomcat process to get started with this.
