Abstract

In this paper we discuss a general-purpose, portable, and extensible approach to handle comprehensive monitoring information from a Java run-time environment, based on an extension to the On-line Monitoring Interface Specification (OMIS). The main goal of the Java extension to OMIS is to create an interface that will be used to build an OMIS compliant monitoring system as well as to adapt existing tools and to build new ones for monitoring distributed Java applications. The issues covered include enhancements at the specification level. Tools based on this framework are intended to generate problem-oriented requests and handle response information in a uniform way independent of the tools’ specifics and the monitoring system’s implementation.
