Manage your JMX-enabled applications with jManage 1.0
Java Management Extensions (JMX) technology enables management and
monitoring of applications and services via MBeans (managed beans),
allowing JMX clients to be developed independently using standard
protocols. jManage is an open source, Web and command line-based
JMX client, providing a centralized console for managing
application clusters and distributed-application environments.
jManage goes beyond an ordinary JMX client by providing features
like alerts, graphs, security, SNMP (Simple Network Management
Protocol) support, and more. This article introduces you to jManage
1.0 features using J2SE 5.0 MBeans as examples and highlights the
upcoming jManage 1.5 features.
