Jolokia 0.95 is here

The summer break is over and Jolokia is one step closer to
1.0. Germans might reasonably argue, ‘ehm, what summer do you talk
about ?’ but at least 0.95 is now a fact and introduces two new
features. Very cool features, IMO.

Hand in hand, Jolokia and Jmx4Perl started their countdown for their first major version, scheduled late this summer.

As described in the last post jmx4perl can be operated in a so called agentless mode. For this to work, the target java server must be prepared for accepting remote JMX connections as described in JSR-160.

Unfortunately, this setup is not really standardized and specific to the Java JDK in use and the application server itself. In this post we concentrate on how to setup JMX remoting for JBoss.

Big news around: jmx4perl supports now an agentless mode in which the target platform can be monitored without installing the j4p agent servlet. This works by using j4p.war as a JMX Proxy, which translates our JSON/HTTP protocol on the frontside to JSR-160 JMX remote requests on the backend and vice versa.
