Why is Apache Tomcat Monitoring Needed?

The Tomcat application server is one of the more popular server implementations for Java web applications. Implementing a "pure Java" HTTP web server, Apache Tomcat supports Java Servlets, Java Server Pages, and WebSockets, thereby making it a favorite choice for deploying and hosting highly transactional Java applications and services.

To ensure high application performance, it is essential to monitor the Tomcat application server, the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) it uses, the application components it hosts, and the infrastructure tiers supporting it. IT teams and developers need the capability to proactively detect performance problems before they impact end-users of the Java application.

Answer Key Tomcat Performance Questions

Which of the Java business transactions are slow, stalled or having errors?Where is the response time slowdown: in the Java code,in the database queries, or in external web service calls?
How many transactions are handled by each Tomcat engine?
Is the workload balanced across all the Tomcat servers in the farm? Do you need more Tomcat Servers to handle the load?
Are Java Servlets executing within acceptable processing thresholds?
Is the web container configured correctly to handle the incoming workload?

Going Beyond Monitoring the Tomcat Web Container

eG Enterprise delivers total performance assurance for web applications powered by Java technology:

User experience monitoring: Using real user monitoring and synthetic transaction monitoring, you can identify user experience issues and slow transactions. Find out if the issue is with the browser, network, or server side.
Business transaction tracing: Trace slow transactions across the Java application architecture and isolate server-side issues causing transaction slowdown.
In-depth JVM monitoring: Comprehensively monitor every aspect of JVM performance, including CPU, heap and non-heap memory, threads, classes, garbage collection, and more
