Monitoring Java Applications

Java Application Performance Monitoring (APM) in System Center 2012 R2 Operations Manager lets you monitor Java applications to get details about application performance and exception events that can help you determine the root causes of problems. The System Center 2012 Management Pack for Java Application Performance Monitoring lets you monitor Java application performance and exception events by using Operations Manager Application Advisor. With Operations Manager Application Advisor, you can investigate method and resource timing for performance events, stack traces for exception events, Java specific counters for events (such as Average Request Time, Requests Per Second, JVM Memory, and Class Loader), and run some of the standard Application Performance Monitoring reports. Additionally, you get Operations Manager level alerting on Java application server counters. Download the Management Pack for Java Application Performance Monitoring from the Microsoft Download Center.

Java Application Performance Monitoring shares many concepts with .NET Application Performance Monitoring. However, there are some important differences, including: object hierarchy, the method for working with overrides and alerting (Java Application Performance Monitoring has no authoring and configuration template, so you change configurations with management pack overrides), and sever-level information is not handled in Java Application Performance Monitoring reports.
