    Description

    The JMX monitoring plugin for Jira allows you to monitor Jira using your monitoring tool of choice!

    Monitor concurrent users, active http sessions, thread counts, caching, indexing and hundreds of other Jira instruments.

    The JMX Monitoring plugin for Jira gives you access to all of the Jira instrumentation data available in the product, but exposed via JMX.

    The three types of instruments are:

    • Counters: These only go up, such as the number of requests
    • Gauges: These go up and down, such as the current memory used by Jira
    • Operations: These provide time and invocation information, for example that 1000 database reads occurred, taking a total time of 400 ms

    Instrumentation data can be seen in Jira by going to the Instrumentation page in Jira Administration, under "Troubleshooting and Support"

    All of the instrumentation values can be extracted via JMX. The way that JMX values are extracted is that an external monitoring agent requests the values from the Jira JVM.

    Once this plugin is added to Jira, configure your monitoring agents to ask for this information via JMX from the Jira JVM.
