How to configure Javamelody in Artifactory for monitoring
The goal of JavaMelody is to monitor Java or Java EE applications in your environment.
It is a tool to measure and calculate statistics on real operation of an application depending on the usage of the application by users.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Artifactory Version 7.x is currently do not support Javamelody monitoring
Please follow the steps below to add JavaMelody to your Artifactory instance:
-
Install jar files found in this link to $ARTIFACTORY_NODE_HOME/tomcat/lib . For example:
curl -L -o jrobin-1.5.9.jar -XGET https://github.com/javamelody/javamelody/releases/download/javamelody-core-1.49.0/jrobin-1.5.9.jar
curl -L -o javamelody-1.59.0.jar https://github.com/javamelody/javamelody/releases/download/javamelody-core-1.59.0/javamelody-1.59.0.jar2. Modify web.xml at $ARTIFACTORY_NODE_HOME/tomcat/webapps/artifactory/WEB-INF/web.xml according to this instruction. For example,
<filter>
<filter-name>javamelody</filter-name>
<filter-class>net.bull.javamelody.MonitoringFilter</filter-class>
<async-supported>true</async-supported>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>javamelody</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
<dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>
<dispatcher>ASYNC</dispatcher>
</filter-mapping>
<listener>
<listener-class>net.bull.javamelody.SessionListener</listener-class>
</listener>
3. Restart Artifactory node
4. Check the result by accessing http(s)://YOUR_ARTIFACTORY_NODE:PORT/CONTEXT/monitoring (e.g. http://localhost:8081/artifactory/monitoring)
For more information, please visit Javamelody User Guide page.
In addition, if you want to add an authentication to Javamelody page, you can add a basic authentication with username and password, you may want to add the following (example) :
<filter>
<filter-name>javamelody</filter-name>
<filter-class>net.bull.javamelody.MonitoringFilter</filter-class>
<async-supported>true</async-supported>
<init-param> <param-name>authorized-users</param-name>
<param-value>admin:password, admin2:password2</param-value> </init-param>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>javamelody</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
<dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>
<dispatcher>ASYNC</dispatcher>
</filter-mapping>
<listener>
<listener-class>net.bull.javamelody.SessionListener</listener-class>
</listener>
Once done, please perform the following steps:
1. Restart Artifactory
2. Insert your JavaMelody URL (for example: http://localhost:8081/artifactory/monitoring)
3. Add your credentials
As a side note, you may want to read more about Securing JavaMelody Installation, and JavaMelody Security.
Tips: Artifactory exposes JMX MBeans as documented here. Using this, you may monitor DB related status, such as number of active connections.
