Where can I configure JBoss AS7 + Infinispan so that I can see the cache statistics?

Details:

I'm trying to monitor the cache stats identified at this URL http://docs.jboss.org/infinispan/5.1/apidocs/jmxComponents.html#Statistics and inserted below:

Component Statistics  (Class org.infinispan.interceptors.CacheMgmtInterceptor) General statistics such as timings, hit/miss ratio, etc.
Attributes
Name Description Type Writable AverageReadTime Average number of milliseconds for a read operation on the cache long false AverageWriteTime Average number of milliseconds for a write operation in the cache long false ElapsedTime Number of seconds since cache started long false Evictions Number of cache eviction operations long false HitRatio Percentage hit/(hit+miss) ratio for the cache double false Hits Number of cache attribute hits long false Misses Number of cache attribute misses long false NumberOfEntries Number of entries currently in the cache int false ReadWriteRatio read/writes ratio for the cache double false RemoveHits Number of cache removal hits long false RemoveMisses Number of cache removals where keys were not found long false Stores number of cache attribute put operations long false TimeSinceReset Number of seconds since the cache statistics were last reset long false
Operations
Name Description Signature resetStatistics Resets statistics gathered by this component void resetStatistics()

It appears as though the Infinispan (standalone) configuration element to enable these statistics for the caches and not just the cache manager through JMX is:

<jmxStatistics enabled="true"/>

as identified at this URL: https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/ISPN/Management+Tooling

However, when using Infinispan as part of JBoss AS7, the standard configuration files aren't used.  Instead, a unified version of the configuration is instead.  The valid configuration parameters are identified in the schema files found in $JBOSS_HOME/docs/schema.  None of these files contains any configuration elements (that I can identify) for turning on JMX statistics for Infinispan caches.

Using JMX I can see the CacheManager statistics, but I cannot see any specific cache statistics.

Where can I configure JBoss AS7 + Infinispan so that I can see the cache statistics?  I've spent hours looking for answers and am unable to find anything.

Thanks,

Anyone? I also need to access Infinispan statistics while running in JBoss 7.

Never tried but found this: http://www.mastertheboss.com/jboss-performance/jboss-as-7-performance-tuning/page-6

Thanks, It seems like you can enable the MBean statstics then. Should be the same with a non-JPA Infinispan cache aswell.

HI

Where I can insert this tag?

<property name="hibernate.cache.infinispan.statistics" value="true"/>

[nickarls]

persistence.xml, like the article says.

[erasmomarciano]

OK

Where I  can found the file persistence.xml?

Can I do this configuration in structure Jboss or alone in my webb-app?

[nickarls]

If you are using JPA it will be in your META-INF folder.

[erasmomarciano]

OK

Therefore I can do this modifies only in my web-app?

What about for non hibernate caches? As Glen said native infinispan configuration lets you do something like:

     <global>

               <globalJmxStatistics enabled="true"/>

               ...

     </global>

     ...

     <namedCache ...>

               <jmxStatistics enabled="true"/>

     </namedCache>

However there isn't a clear way to do this with the embedded Jboss AS7 infinispan configuration. I am looking at the jboss-as-infinispan_1_0.xsd, jboss-as-infinispan_1_1.xsd, and jboss-as-infinispan_1_2.xsd in the doc/schema directory and I don't see anything about enabling jmx statistics. Perhaps they are enabled by default?

Can somone tell us how to enable JMX statistics for AS7 Infinispan Hibernate L2 cache in domain mode.  I am able to see the JMX module using JConsole in Standalone mode (local) but no modules show up in domain mode - not sure why.

Thank you.

Perhaps this is because the JMX remoting connector is disabled in domain mode, but enabled in standalone mode.  Try enabling it within the jmx subsystem.

[pferraro]

JMX statistics are enabled by default - so long as the JMX subsystem is present.

[pbalachandran]

The JMX subsytem is present in my domain.xml file (below).

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:jmx:1.1">

        <show-model value="true"/>

        <remoting-connector/>

</subsystem>

So when I view via Visual VM I can see the JMX subsystem for the standalone mode but not domain mode.  Would it have something to do with this bug report: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-4009

Please advice.

Thank you.

I'm not sure then.  Since this isn't a clustering specific issue (you cannot see any mbeans, not just for Infinispan, when running in domain mode) - I would ask on the main AS7 forum.
