Jetty JMX Webservice

Jetty JMX Webservice is a webapp providing a RESTful API to query JMX mbeans and invoke mbean operations without the hassle that comes with RMI. No more arguments with your firewall admin, just a single http port.

That alone might not be a killer feature, but Jetty JMX Webservice also aggregates multiple mbeans having the same ObjectName in the same JVM (e.g. jmx beans for multiple webapps) as well as from multiple jetty instances. That way you’ve a single REST api aggregating JMX mbeans for one or more jetty instances you can use to feed your favourite monitoring system for example.

JMXTerm: command line based interactive JMX client

Jmxterm is an open source command line based interactive JMX client. It's designed to allow user to access JMX from command line without graphical environment. In another word, it's a command line based jconsole.

Internally Jmxterm depends on JDK jconsole library but it doesn't require graphical environment(such as X in linux) at runtime.

MOSGi enables the remote management of OSGi-compatible service gateways, using JMX. The framework is a reference architecture for end-to-end gateway management. It provides the following features:

* relies on JMX management infrastructure (IP-based management),
* provides two JMX agents: the standard Java 1.5 agent and a specific Java 1.4 lightweight embedded agent (MX4J agent deviation),
* provides a way to deploy various probes on remote gateways,
* provides a management console,
* the graphical part of a probe (management console part) can be dynamically plugged in the management console and is dynamically downloaded.
