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:

1. Install jar files found in this link to $ARTIFACTORY_NODE_HOME/tomcat/lib . For example:

   curl -L -o javamelody-1.59.0.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.jar

   2. 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 follows:

   Tips: Artifactory exposes JMX MBeans as documented here. Using this, you may monitor DB related status, such as number of active connections.
