Develop your own monitoring applications

You can use the Performance Monitoring Infrastructure (PMI) interfaces to develop your own applications to collect and display performance information.

Overview

There are three such interfaces - a Java Machine Extension (JMX)-based interface, a PMI client interface, and a servlet interface. All three interfaces return the same underlying data.

Procedure

1. Using PMI client to develop your monitoring application (deprecated).

2. Retrieving performance data with PerfServlet

3. Compiling your monitoring applications

4. Running your new monitoring applications

5. Using the JMX interface to develop your own monitoring application.

6. Developing PMI interfaces (Version 4.0) (deprecated).
