Mastering Apache Camel

Management and monitoring using JMX

Apache Camel uses the Java Management Extension (JMX) standard and provides a lot of insights into the system using MBeans (Management Beans), providing a detailed view of the following current system:

• The different integration processes with the associated metrics
• The different components and endpoints with the associated metrics

Moreover, these MBeans provide more insights than metrics. They also provide the operations to manage Camel. For instance, the operations allow you to stop an integration process, to suspend an endpoint, and so on. Using a combination of metrics and operations, you can configure a very agile integration solution.
