If you need to obtain server statistical data from Tomcat, you probably have to get it via Tomcat JMX. It’s pretty straight-forward to take a glance of what the current Tomcat server status with the JMX func by Tomcat.
Tomcat provides detail instruction here:https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/monitoring.html#Enabling_JMX_Remote
Very simple.
Add parameter in setenv.sh to enable JMX.
Add it in CATALINA_OPTS
(Assume we use port number 9999)
CATALINA_OPTS="-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=9999 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false"
If we need authentication, change it to
CATALINA_OPTS="-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=9999 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=true -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.access.file=../conf/jmxremote.access -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.password.file=../conf/jmxremote.password"
Notice. The directory of jmxremote.access and jmxremote.password may need absolute path if Tomcat fails to locate the file.
Here we create jmxremote.access file
monitorRole readonly controlRole readwrite
Create jmxremote.password file
monitorRole abc123 controlRole xyz789
The jmxremote.password file must be set to readonly mode.
chmod 400 /path-to-it/jmxremote.password
