SpringSource Application Management Suite (AMS) is a comprehensive enterprise application management tool. It is designed to manage and monitor all of your Spring-powered applications, the Spring runtime, and a variety of platforms and application servers. SpringSource AMS is built on Hyperic’s HQ Enterprise Edition, a proven systems and applications management solution. Additional features of SpringSource AMS include:
- Automatic discovery of Spring-powered applications on deployment
- Automatic monitoring of a variety of Spring, third party, and stereotyped components running in your application. SpringSource AMS instruments a variety of components in the Spring Framework. Simply drop the instrumented jar files into your application, and SpringSource AMS will begin monitoring your application and exposing statistics via JMX. No additional configuration steps required!
- Automatic monitoring of components of the Spring runtime, including the application contexts and bean factories
You can read more about its features in Jennifer Hickey‘s first post in Spring Team blog. This introduction part is also taken from her blog. I am only started to look into that 😉
