This is the only way to find out what's going on. All other monitoring
solutions will just tell you that *something* is wrong, but this will
give you details.

This is pretty unlikely for the reported observations, since Tomcat
slows down and stops responding (presumably until restarted). That is
more likely to be something like database connection pool being
exhausted due to poor resource management rather than out-of-control
GC activity.

I disagree. The connection can go down for various reasons. But I
suspect that's not the problem in this case.

Live monitoring is the only way to go, unless you want your customers
to surprise you with performance problems on your own site. :)
