Resin and HQ are Getting Along Again

HQ and Resin user’s might have noticed that somewhere around the Resin 3.0.2x release time frame HQ stopped collecting metrics from some key values that most folks found rather important. For example, per Webapp the following metrics were no longer being collected:

Request Count
Request Count per Minute
Request Read Bytes
Request Read Bytes per Minute
Request Time
Request Time per Minute
Request Write Bytes
Request Write Bytes per Minute

Well as of Resin 3.1.6 released on May 5th, these metrics are back! Thanks to the Engineering team at Caucho, turning on JMX statistics for these key metrics is as easy as adding <statistics-enable/> to either <web-app-default> or a specific <web-app> defined in resin.conf.  Restart Resin and like magic you’ll see metrics flowing again into HQ.

Thanks to Caucho and particularly Scott Ferguson who made this change to resolve the disabled metric issue. Who says vendors can’t work together to make the world a better place?
