JMole

JMole is a monitoring framework for gathering data dynamically from various Java MBeans. The project is a spin-off from Buzz, which was a strictly JBoss monitoring plugin. JMole on the other hand is not tied to any specific platform and can be used in any Java environment (Java 6 and higher) to expose MBean attributes to various monitoring systems.

Supports several popular monitoring systems/protocols:

JMX (Including Jolokia)
Munin
NRPE (Nagios, Icinga, op5)
Zabbix
StatsD
Standard Java Logging (java.util.logging)
syslog
logstash
Amazon CloudWatch
Eclipse Microprofile 2.x (MicroProfile Health Check 1.0 and MicroProfile Metrics 1.1)
Eclipse Microprofile 3.x (MicroProfile Health Check 2.0 and MicroProfile Metrics 2.0)

It's simple to implement new protocols, but a quick integration for unsupported monitoring system may be to use JMX or log parsing of the java.util.logging file.

JMole is NOT a complete monitoring tool. It's a more of a platform to easily provide such systems with information from within the JVM. It's based on experience of what is really needed from customers (that often already has a monitoring system in place).

Some key ideas behind JMole has been:

Genuine, automatic discovery (A discovery is actually triggered whenever a request occurs)
Easy to add support for any MBean exposed server or framework. Ready-to-use config files are available for:
- Java Application Servers
  - WildFly 8.2.x, 9-29 (Including JBoss EAP versions derived from them. See more info)
  - JBoss AS 6.1.0.Final
  - Apache TomEE 7, 8 and 9
  - Glassfish 4 (Including Payara derived from this)
  - Open Liberty 17
- Java Web Containers
  - Jetty 9, 10 and 11
  - Apache Tomcat 8, 9 and 10
- ESB's
  - Mule ESB 3 and 4
  - JBoss ESB 4.12
  - Apache Camel 2
- JMS Servers
  - Apache ActiveMQ 5
  - Apache ActiveMQ Artemis 2
- Connection Pools
  - Apache Commons DBCP 2
  - HikariCP 3
  - c3p0 0.9
- Misc
  - JVM 6-21
  - Apache OpenEJB
  - Netflix Hysterix 1.5
  - Logback
  - Hazelcast IMDG 3
Easy to deploy in any Java 6 (or newer) environment. JMole Core consists of a single JAR file that only need to be bootstrapped.
- Ready to use artifacts that incorporate the core and bootstrap JMole are available for:
  - Java EE/Jakarta EE (Singleton Bean)
  - Servlet Containers
  - CDI
  - Eclipse Microprofile 2.x (MicroProfile Health Check 1.0 and MicroProfile Metrics 1.1)
  - Eclipse Microprofile 3.x (MicroProfile Health Check 2.0 and MicroProfile Metrics 2.0)
  - Spring
  - Mule ESB (3 and 4)
  - OSGI
