How to monitor number & idle time of httpsessions using Jbos

[mvbertelsen]

I browsed through all the mbeans that seemed remotely associated with jetty in the jmx-console, and couldn't find anything. Is it just me, or is there no way to monitor the number of active httpsession objects this way (assuming the application uses httpsession)? How are others solving this problem?

Check Sessions administation from JSOS:

Aha, I found the session manager(s), for example:

HashSessionManager=0,JBossWebApplicationContext=1,Jetty=0,context=/jmx-console

There's one for each context and it contains a read-only int property called "sessions" that has the number of active httpsessions.

No way to inspect those sessions for values, though, that would be cool.

On the JMX-Console page, look for the following string:

"host=localhost,path=/,type=Manager"

That MBean will have the list of active sessions...
