Measures reported by JmxConnectorTest

This test reports the availability of the target Java application, and also indicates whether JMX is enabled on the application or not. In addition, the test promptly alerts you to slowdowns experienced by the application, and also reveals whether the application was recently restarted or not.

 The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Availability Indicates whether the target application is available or not and whether JMX is enabled or not on the application. Percent If the value of this measure is 100%, it indicates that the Java application is available with JMX enabled. The value 0 on the other hand, could indicate one/both the following:

  • The Java application is unavailable;
  • The Java application is available, but JMX is not enabled;
Response_time Indicates the time taken to connect to the JMX agent of the Java application. Secs A high value could indicate a connection bottleneck.
Pid_change Indicates whether/not the process ID that corresponds to the Java application has changed.   This measure will report the value Yes if the PID of the target application has changed; such a change is indicative of an application restart. If the application has not restarted - i.e., if the PID has not changed - then this measure will return the value No.
