Monitoring Servicemix with Hyperic HQ

Question

I have been able to configure Hyperic HQ to identify servicemix 4, however, It could only see the "ServiceMix 4.x Garbage Collector" service. I would like to be able to monitor activemq Queues, Endpoints, and Camel Applications (if possible)

Has anyone been able to do this?

I ran into the same issue at a client recently. We didn't find any support for doing this with HypericHQ, so we built our own basic web app using JSP, Ajax/jQuery and JMX to interface with AMQ/Camel. Another option is to customize the ActiveMQ and Camel web consoles...

Here are some notes on using JMX to monitor/manage both ActiveMQ and Camel...

Also, I know the Camel team is looking to enhance the web console in future releases (see the 3.0 roadmap)

good luck...

yep, I'm just relaying my experience when facing the same challenges. He asked how to monitor endpoints, routes and queues...Hyperic simply didn't do this. – Avogadro
