Hi TG, assuming you are using a sun 1.6 jdk to run tomcat:
http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/management/jconsole.html http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/jmx/index.html http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/monitoring.html jmx (Java Management Extensions) is most likely what you are looking for. Have a look at this jconsole program to get an idea (first link). Hint: If you're under linux use a computer with one network card and make sure that this machine's hostname resolves to its public ip, not 127.0.0.1 - this will get you started faster Best Regards, Martin On Fri, Sep 10, 2010 at 10:04 PM, Tarun Gupta < tarun.gu...@digitalmountain.com> wrote: > Hello, > > > > Does anyone know what's the best way to monitor a tomcat application > remotely?
