Monitoring tomcat with zabbix (including jvm monitoring)

1. Preface:

Our monitoring system is zabbix. We have just finished monitoring jvm and tomcat recently. We need to spit out the following:
The official jvm and tomcat monitoring templates provided by zabbix have pits in the writing format of the item, which prevents many content from being monitored.
zabbix monitoring java articles written by netizens, 99% only build environment, no zabbix item key value, so on environmental monitoring, item key value does not know how to write.

This article monitors the jvm as follows:

  • Memory usage status: Heap memory and non-Heap memory, including used, maximum, committed;
  • Heap memory pool: memory usage status of the new generation (eden space), survivor space, and old gen;

Non-heap memory pool: Code cache, meta space, compressed class space;
Class Loading: Total number of loads, loaded, unloaded.
Java threads: always open threads, active threads, peak threads.

This article monitors tomcat as follows:

  • Tomcat requests: Include requests per second, number of errors per second;
  • Tomcat network traffic statistics: Include incoming and outgoing traffic statistics;
  • Tomcat threads: Includes the maximum number of threads, the current number of threads, the current number of busy threads.

Instead of adding garbage collection (gc) monitoring to the zabbix, I added GC day input to the catalina configuration for development analysis, set up as follows.
CATALINA_OPTS="-XX:ParallelGCThreads=4-XX:+PrintGCDetails-Xloggc:Log Storage Path"
The monitoring effect is as follows:

2. Monitoring environment setup

Introduction to the environment:

[root@tomcat-01 ~]# /usr/local/tomcat/bin/version.sh
Server version: Apache Tomcat/8.0.23
Server built: May 19 2015 14:58:38 UTC
Server number: 8.0.23.0
OS Name: Linux
OS Version: 2.6.32-573.22.1.el6.x86_64
Architecture: amd64
JVM Version: 1.8.0_65-b17
JVM Vendor: Oracle Corporation

2.1.Server side configuration
1. Install the java jdk environment on the Zabbix server side and turn on java Gateway to support java monitoring.
Java Gateway is enabled as follows:
Zabbix is installed via the rpm package: just install the zabbix-java-gateway package.
Zabbix is installed by compiling: you need to add -enable-java at compile time to support jmx monitoring, if you have not previously recompiled it.
2. Modify the zabbix-java-gateway configuration file

[root@zabbix ~]# vim /etc/zabbix/zabbix_java_gateway.conf
LISTEN_IP="192.168.10.3"
LISTEN_PORT=10052
PID_FILE="/var/run/zabbix/zabbix_java.pid"
START_POLLERS=5

Modify zabbix-server configuration file

[root@zabbix ~]# vim /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf
JavaGateway=192.168.10.3
JavaGatewayPort=10052
StartJavaPollers=5

Start the zabbix-java-gateway service

[root@zabbix ~]# /etc/init.d/zabbix-java-gateway start

2.2.Tomcat server configuration
1. Download the catalina-jmx-remote.jar package to the lib directory under the tomcat installation directory

wget -O /usr/local/tomcat/lib/catalina-jmx-remote.jar http://archive.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-8/v8.0.23/bin/extras/catalina-jmx-remote.jar

2. Modify catalina.sh to add the following

CATALINA_OPTS="$CATALINA_OPTS -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=8090
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false"

3. Restart tomcat and monitor test
(1) Download cmdline-jmxclient-0.10.3.jar file, download address http://crawler.archive.org/cm...
(2) Execute the following command locally to view tomcat's heap memory information

[root@tomcat-01 ~]# java -jar /root/cmdline-jmxclient-0.10.3.jar - 127.0.0.1:8090 java.lang:type=Memory HeapMemoryUsage
11/04/2016 15:23:16 +0800 org.archive.jmx.Client HeapMemoryUsage:
committed: 2146959360
init: 2147483648
max: 2146959360
used: 407611808

3. Monitoring data collection

3.1. Heap memory
Tomcat views heap memory information locally:

committed: 2145910784
init: 2147483648
max: 2145910784
used: 741540536

zabbix Monitor Heap Memory Key Value:

Maximum heap memory: jmx["java.lang:type=Memory","HeapMemoryUsage.max"]

tomcat error request: JMX ["Catalina:type=GlobalRequestProcessor, name=" http-nio-8080\", errorCount]

4. Answers to questions

Recently, a netizen contacted me and said that after watching my blog build up the environment, I could not get the data. I helped to sort out the problem and found out what it was, so I record it.
Netizens reported the following errors:

# java -jar /root/cmdline-jmxclient-0.10.3.jar - 127.0.0.1:9080 java.lang:type=MemoryPool,name=PS\ Eden\ Space Usag
11/11/2016 10:03:37 +0800
org.archive.jmx.Client java.lang:name=PS Eden Space,type=MemoryPool is not a registered bean

4.1. Solution ideas

  • If you can't get data using command line monitoring, use jconsole first to see if there is data.
  • If jconsole has data, look down and check your environment instead.
  • If jconsole has data, but the command line has no data, then there is a problem with Object Name or attributes of Mbeans. Netizens copy me, but their local environment and my environment are different so that they can not get data. There are two methods to query their local Mbeans, one is graphics and the other is command line, the other is netizenIf there's something wrong with your Eden Space, I'll post a way to view the Object Name and attributes of the local memory pool.

(1) View through jconsole:

(2) View from the command line: directly use the java-jar cmdline-jmxclient-0.10.3.jar-127.0.0.1:8090 command to get all the Mbean information, output too much here will not paste the output results.I get monitoring information for all memory pools using the grep command as follows.

[root@tomcat-01 ~]# java -jar cmdline-jmxclient-0.10.3.jar - 127.0.0.1:8090 | grep MemoryPool
java.lang:name=Compressed Class Space,type=MemoryPool
java.lang:name=Metaspace,type=MemoryPool
java.lang:name=PS Old Gen,type=MemoryPool
java.lang:name=PS Eden Space,type=MemoryPool
java.lang:name=PS Survivor Space,type=MemoryPool
java.lang:name=Code Cache,type=MemoryPool

Then I want to get all the attribute information for Eden Space as follows: (Some special characters need to be escaped)

[root@tomcat-01 ~]# java -jar cmdline-jmxclient-0.10.3.jar - 127.0.0.1:8090 java.lang:name=PS\ Eden\ Space,type=MemoryPool
Attributes:
Usage: Usage (type=javax.management.openmbean.CompositeData)
PeakUsage: PeakUsage (type=javax.management.openmbean.CompositeData)
MemoryManagerNames: MemoryManagerNames (type=[Ljava.lang.String;)
UsageThreshold: UsageThreshold (type=long)
UsageThresholdExceeded: UsageThresholdExceeded (type=boolean)
UsageThresholdCount: UsageThresholdCount (type=long)
UsageThresholdSupported: UsageThresholdSupported (type=boolean)
CollectionUsageThreshold: CollectionUsageThreshold (type=long)
CollectionUsageThresholdExceeded: CollectionUsageThresholdExceeded (type=boolean)
CollectionUsageThresholdCount: CollectionUsageThresholdCount (type=long)
CollectionUsage: CollectionUsage (type=javax.management.openmbean.CompositeData)
CollectionUsageThresholdSupported: CollectionUsageThresholdSupported (type=boolean)
Valid: Valid (type=boolean)
Name: Name (type=java.lang.String)
Type: Type (type=java.lang.String)
ObjectName: ObjectName (type=javax.management.ObjectName)
Operations:
resetPeakUsage: resetPeakUsage
Parameters 0, return type=void

So we're looking at the usage of Eden Space.You'll see the data coming out

[root@tomcat-01 ~]# java -jar cmdline-jmxclient-0.10.3.jar - 127.0.0.1:8090 java.lang:name=PS\ Eden\ Space,type=MemoryPool Usage
12/03/2016 08:33:58 +0800 org.archive.jmx.Client Usage:
committed: 712507392
init: 537395200
max: 712507392
used: 396006304
