Been looking around for 15 mins, still can't tell what exactly this is.
OP probably doesn't know either. He submitted ~30 links to HN within a few hours a little bit ago (~20 of them in roughly an hour).
Same, I think it provides some UI components over some common dependencies/services/infrastructure for Java apps but still after reading the site and repo I wouldnt be surprised to learn I'm completely wrong
Ikr, I'm so clueless. Its like they're trying be obscure.
Hawt.io/jolokia exposes JMX as JSON. JMX is sorta like snmp but for jvms and you can easily write your own JMX beans for the jvm to monitor your apps, then hawt.io can be used to make those available as restful resources. Incredibly useful piece of software
Thank you. Maybe you can write a blurb for their front page!
Nah, the more useful a piece of software is, the worse the documentation. Awk, sed, for example
Thanks -- this is pretty awesome stuff. I am not familiar with Hawt -- but I had been using Visual VM - and it was a pain managing several JVMs If Hawt can indeed deliver one console for all my jvms --- that's pretty awesome.
One ask would be to somehow track response times in Tomcat for REST applications.
Doesn't induce confidence in prospective users when the author describes the software as "manages Java stuff".
