- At Heartland Community College, we use a free app called Lamba Probeto monitor our heap. It's just another application that can sit along side your portal and portlets. Essentially it is a glorified tomcat manager application that allows you to see stats on database connection pools, threads, http and ajp connections and memory usage. Obviously it isn't going to be much help when tomcat hangs, but it is a great tool for performance monitoring. By default, anyone with the manager role in tomcat-users.xml will be able to log in but it is very easy to configure the application to use a custom tomcat realm to perform authentication against ldap. This application has provided us additional information needed to tune our JVMs.
