Tech Questions

I've been tasked with finding a way to grab certain metric information out of WebSphere and WebLogic. It appears that there are two methods to do this: a) drop a java process on the server to hit up the exposed api's, or b) use SNMP to access JMX to get the info remotely.

Sadly, I'm a windows c++ developer, and this is seriously outside my knowledge box. I lean towards (b), as it seems the system that a number of commercial applications utilize, but I'm not sure how to go about it. Visual C++ has a SMNP library, and I'd think that once I'm connected to that, I can find my way to JMX, and then to the J2EE metrics, but I'm having a wretched time finding any info on that path.

Anyone? Shawn? Shayde? Beuller? Beuller?

Both SNMP and JMX are reasonable. I am more familiar with SNMP but I haven't done anything with WebSphere/WebLogic.

JMX is really just providing a bridge to SNMP so if you can go straight to JMX that may be better.
