You certainly want to check ZenOSS out then. Our instance monitors JVMs across our deployment for everything from heap size to open file descriptors to uptime for the jvm specifically-- all of which can be alerted on if desired.

There are plenty of tweaks that help speed things up greatly-- including disabling the section of code that calculates overall system availability (if thats not important to you).... we dump all of our syslog in to ZenOSS so the tables got quite large before the retention rules kicked in.

SQL in a Nutshell 86

Posted by samzenpus on Monday June 01, 2009 @03:03PM from the read-all-about-it dept.

stoolpigeon writes "The cover of SQL in a Nutshell sports a chameleon, the little lizard well known for its ability to blend in just about anywhere. This is a great choice for the Structured Query Language. SQL has been around since the seventies, helping developers interact with the ubiquitous relational database management system. Thirty some years later, SQL grinds away in the background of just about any interactive web site and nameless other technologies. New alternatives are popping up constantly but I'm going to go out on a limb and say that SQL is going to be around for a long time. Anyone interacting with an RDBMS is in all likelihood going to need to use SQL at some point. For those who do, who also want a handy desktop reference, SQL in a Nutshell has been there for the last 9 years. The SQL language itself has not stood still over those years, and neither have the products that use SQL, and so now the book is available in a third edition." Read on for the rest of JR's review.
