Access to the JMX Statistics

The JMX statistics can be obtained in several ways:

• Use a third party monitoring solution - there are enterprise class monitoring solutions with generic JMX support that can be used to visualize the application's statistics.
• Download the statistics as an XML file with an associated XSL file - this method collects the statistics from a single application server and provides a quick way of visualizing the statistics as an HTML page. The drawback is that it only works for application servers hosting the administration application.
• Use the JMX timer mechanism - this method works well in any environment, online or batch. For online applications statistics can be collected from every server in the environment.
