Roadmap JMX-Sensor

Description of functionality and features of a JMX-Sensor within inspectIT.

Milestones

#	Objective	Description	Timeframe
1	Confluence	Creation of a Confluence-Page describing the functionality and features of the JMX-Sensor Developing UI-Sketches as a base for further feature-planning Defining the data a user has to provide	2 Weeks
2	Data-Classes	Development of Data-Classes required to save JMX-Data JmxSensorDefinitionData JmxSensorValueData Class to save ObjectNames of all available MBeans??	3 Weeks
3	Configuration Storage	Saving data defined via user-input to the ConfigurationStorage Reading the ConfigurationFile Accepting regular expressions to define multiple MBeans and Attributes? Developing test to verfiy the functionality of the code	3 Weeks
4	Registration (Agent)	Registration of the available data on the Agent only Finalize Agent Writing Tests for the Agent to verify its functionality	4-5 Weeks
5	Registration (CMR)	Completing the registration of JMXSensors and its data on the CMR Creating the databasemodel for JMX-Data on the CMR Verifiying the functionality via tests	5 Weeks
6	Client (Data)	Seize JMX-Data on the client Testing the integrity of the seized data	3 Weeks
7	Client (User Interface)	Development of the UI UI-Sketches as base of development	5 Weeks
8	Client (User Interface)	Display Data of specified Attributes of MBeans	3 Weeks
9	Client (User Interface)	Display history of specified Attributes of MBeans	2 Weeks

Server Parameters within eclipse

Run-configs to include the inspectIT Agent in a Tomcat within eclipse:

Program Arguments:

start

VM-Arguments for Tomcat 7.0:

-javaagent:[Path to Agent]\inspectit-agent.jar -Dinspectit.config=[Path to config-file]\config\

-Dcatalina.base="[Path to catalina-Base]" -Dcatalina.home="[Path to Tomcat]\Tomcat" -Dwtp.deploy="[Path to deploy folder]\wtpwebapps" -Djava.endorsed.dirs="[Path to endorsed folder]\Tomcat\endorsed"

UI-Sketches

General view

Expanded view on a specified MBean

Detail view on a specified attribute of a MBean

Current Developing State of the JMX-Sensor

Regarding Code:

Agent completely finished
- Data of MBeans completely captured
- Regular expressions work for ObjectNames
  - only if start of RegEx is defined (e.g.: "Catalina*" is working, " * " only won't work)
- Regular Expressions for Attributes won't work in the current version (changes in JmxSensor-class required to search for RegEx of Attribute-Names as they are passed directly)
CMR finished
- Data stored in H2-Database
- Access to data is implemented
UI partially finished
- Display of most recent value of attributes of MBeans is done
- no further data is displayed but may be acquired from the CMR

Regarding Server:

Tests were run on a Tomcat 7.0. Other java-based application servers should work without any problems as no specific libraries, communication protocols or else were used. But no tests were done on application servers beside Tomcat 7.0.
