JMX (Java Management Extensions) is ideal for monitoring applications built using Java. With Dynatrace, you can monitor any metric in your JVM that is exposed via an MBean. With the new Dynatrace Extensions 2.0 Framework and the Visual Studio Code Add-On, it’s even easier to bring in JMX metrics into Dynatrace, having it displayed in the unified analysis screens and providing automated domain knowledge-specific alerting.
Watch this hands-on tutorial where James Kitson @JamesKitson , Extension Architect at Dynatrace and Andreas Grabner @andreas_grabner walk us through everything there is to know about JMX Monitoring with Dynatrace. James starts with a recap on JMX, shows you how Dynatrace captures JMX Data, and then walks us through using the Visual Studio Code Add-on to create new extensions and convert and modify extensions based on the 1.0 framework.
