Tapping in to Standard Management of the Java Virtual Machine

HPjmeter retrieves information about the state and activity of the JVM (Java 1.5 or higher) on HP-UX by making use of the JSR-174 API (http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=174). HPjmeter collects information about MXbean notifications, attributes, and operations for display in the JMX viewer. It uses control aspects of the API to allow you to see and manipulate your own MBean attributes and operations in real time.

HPjmeter also uses data collected from the JVM to enrich the quality and kind of information presented in HPjmeter monitoring metrics and to expand the number of alerting notifications HPjmeter is able to provide via the Alert Controller.
