Summary

In this chapter, we covered various topics of monitoring a Spring-powered JEE application.

First, we discussed Spring's support of JMX, the standard in monitoring Java applications. Topics included implementing custom MBeans for exposing application-related information, as well as exposing statistics of common components like Hibernate and Spring Batch.

Second, we covered using Spring Insight to visualize the application's performance on tc Server. Topics included setting up a tc Server instance with Spring Insight enabled, as well as some of the main metrics that can be seen from Spring Insight's web frontend.
