What are the best practices for monitoring and alerting?

Monitoring and alerting are a critical part of any production installation. Whether you use Management Center, or JMX/3rd party solutions, what is important is that monitoring and alerting are setup and used.

Management Center allows you to define alerts based on:

• free memory
• heap usage
• active thread count
• daemon threads count
• usage statistics specific to a data structure (e.g. Map, Cache, Queue, etc)

Once configured, Management Center will send email alerts based on those events.
