Confluence Tomcat

Matt Stevenson_tj5v87

We'd like to monitor some Tomcat performance metrics for our on-premise Confluence environment, but that relies on the Tomcat manager which does not appear to be included in the Tomcat environment packaged up with Confluence. Is there a supported way for us to enable it?

Hi @Matt Stevenson , welcome to the Community!

For native tooling, I'd suggest using JMX to monitor, which you can do remotely using the JConsole client. This does require adding a flag to Confluence's setenv file to configure which port JMX should be available on. Full directions for getting started with JMX and what metrics you can use it to monitor are listed on Live Monitoring Using the JMX Interface .

If you have application performance monitoring tools (such as New Relic) in your environment, you can also use those to collect application metrics for Confluence. We've got a solid list of tools you can use to monitor Confluence to check out!

Cheers,
Daniel
