What is the best or most commonly used JMX Console Client

Question

I have a server application that has been instrumented using JMX so that it can be monitored in test and production environments  I wish to show the current value of some JMX exposed attributes as well as the long term trends in a graphical format   What is the best or most commonly used JMX Console   Client  I have come across a number of possibilities but none have stood out as clear leader    JConsole  comes with JDK but no graphical view  JManage  does not look like much recent activity  Panoptes  does not look like much recent activity  MC4J  does not look like much recent activity  JBoss JMXConsole  looks like this may for JBoss servers only  Hyperic HQ  open source   communit edition and enterprise version   Zenoss   Which ones are the market leaders    What ones aren t on the list

jminix is an embedded web based JMX console  Not sure if it s maintained any longer  but still

JRockit Mission Control is becoming Java Mission Control and will be dedicated exclusively to Hotspot  If you are an Oracle customer  you can download the 5 x versions of Java Mission Control from MOS  My Oracle Support   Java Mission Control will eventually be released together with the Oracle JDK  The reason it is not yet generally available is that there are some serious limitations  especially when using the Flight Recorder  However  if you are only interested in using the JMX console  you should be golden

Alternatively  constructing a JMX console yourself doesn t need to be hard  Just plug in Jolokia and create a web page getting the attributes that you re interested in  Admittedly  it doesn t allow you to do trend analysis  but it does allow you to construct something that is really geared towards your purpose    I constructed something in just a few lines  http   nxt flotsam nl ears-and-eyes html

I would prefer using JConsole for application monitoring  and it does have graphical view  If you   re using JDK 5 0 or above then it   s the best  Please refer to this using jconsole page for more details   I have been primarily using it for GC tuning and finding bottlenecks
