JDBC Monitoring

[micropact]

Hi Everyone,

We host a java web application that runs in Tomcat with a JDBC connection to an Oracle 11g server. We monitor the Tomcat containers themselves but we'd also like to monitor the connection between the application and the database server, which is where we have our most frequent problems. Any guidance on how to implement this type of monitoring? We'd really appreciate it.

For most Java-based checks, JMX is a good place to start. A plugin for it can be found here:

[*]JMX can be a bit tricky to set up initially
