JMX Monitoring Agent

Gain real-time visibility into JVM health and performance with Nodinite JMX Monitoring. Proactively detect OutOfMemoryError conditions, thread deadlocks, and garbage collection storms before they cause production outages. On this page, you'll discover how to monitor Boomi Atoms, custom Java applications, and any JVM-based workload with automated alerting and historical trend analytics.

The Nodinite Java run-time monitoring JMX monitoring uses Java OpenJDK with the GNU General Public License, version 2, with the Classpath Exception.

Benefits:

  • ✅ Proactive monitoring - Detect heap exhaustion, thread deadlocks, and GC storms before outages
  • ✅ Multi-JVM support - Monitor unlimited JVMs across Docker, Kubernetes, on-premise, and cloud
  • ✅ Zero code changes - Enable JMX remote monitoring without modifying Java applications
  • ✅ Automated alerting - Configure threshold-based alerts for heap, CPU, threads, and GC metrics
  • ✅ Historical analytics - Capacity planning with trend data and correlation to application events

Architecture

The Nodinite JMX Monitoring solution consists of three components:

  1. JMX Monitoring Agent - IIS-hosted agent that polls the JMX Gateway and reports metrics to Nodinite
  2. JMX Gateway - Spring Boot application (Windows Service) that connects to JVMs via JMX protocol
  3. Your JVM Applications - Boomi Atoms, custom Java apps, or any JVM workload (local or remote)
