     8 README:              this file
       
     9 commands.env:        a file containing some ksh variables & functions
       
    10                      that I have used to generate & compile all the 
       
    11                      stuff. Probably only valid in my own environment.
       
    12 logging.properties:  logging.properties file that can be used to obtain
       
    13                      trace information.
       
    14 *.java:              utility and custom classes for the JVM Management MIB.
       
    15                      These classes show how to provide instrumentation for
       
    16                      a mibgen generated MIB, how to simulate virtual tables,
       
    17 		     and how to make use of the SnmpUserDataFactory.
       
    18 		     Only the jvmMemory group and its tables are instrumented.

    20 Dependency
       
    21 ----------
       
    22 
       
    23     jvmManagementMib.txt : the JVM Management MIB module in compilable form.
       
    24     Tiger SNMP Runtime   : SNMP Runtime classes for Tiger. We assume these
       
    25                            classes could be part of the JMX delivery
       
    26                            (classes in com.sun.jmx.snmp.*)
       
    27     JDMK 5.1 : The jdmktk.jar contains the com.sun.jdmk.tools.MibGen class
       
    28                used to compile the MIB. JDMK also has a mibgen.sh script
       
    29                to start mibgen. By default mibgen generates code that can
       
    30                integrate with JDMK SNMP runtime. In order to generate
       
    31                code that integrate with Tiger SNMP runtime, you need to
       
    32 	       start mibgen with a non-default resource file. 
       
    33                JDMK 5.1 workspace contains a mibgen resource file
       
    34                specific for tiger: mibgen.property.tiger 
       
    35     Custom Instrumentation Code: the files in this directory.
       
    36 
       
    37 How to proceed:
       
    38 ---------------
       
    39 
       
    40 Get mibgen from JDMK 5.1. Start mibgen with mibgen resource file for
       
    41 tiger (add -Dcom.sun.jdmk.tools.mibgen.config.file=<mibgen.properties.tiger>)
       
    42 on the Java command line.
       
    43 
       
    44 Use mibgen to generate code for the jvmManagementMib.txt file. Note that
       
    45 the custom classes provided in this directory are all in the 
       
    46 sun.management.snmp.jvminstr package, and expect the generated classes to
       
    47 be in another sun.management.snmp.jvmmib package (use mibgen option 
       
    48 -tp sun.management.snmp.jvmmib)
       
    49 
       
    50 If this package name does not suit you, simply change it to something else,
       
    51 both in the custom classes below (you might use 'sed' or do it manually) 
       
    52 and in the -tp option that you will pass to mibgen.
       
    53 
       
    54 It is recommended to generate all classes in a different directory (if
       
    55 you read command.env you will see that I have put the custom classes
       
    56 in a "custom" directory, and the generated classes in a "parsed" 
       
    57 directory. This makes it easier to cleanup the mib. You can safely
       
    58 do a rm -rf <parsed> and call mibgen again.
       
    59 
       
    60 Then compile the generated classes - you will need JMX and Tiger SNMP
       
    61 runtime classes in your classpath - if you compile with a tiger build that
       
    62 already have them then you don't need to specify anything special.
       
    63 
       
    64 Then make your classpath point to the compiled generated classes, and
       
    65 compile the custom code in this directory.
       
    66 
       
    67 Then you can use the SnmpDaemonTest class to start a JVM with the
       
    68 intsrumented MIB, and you can use e.g. the easymanager contrib of
       
    69 JDMK to view the MIB through SNMP.

    74 
       
    75 Utility Classes developped for the JVM Management MIB:
       
    76 ------------------------------------------------------
       
    77 JvmContextFactory.java        : The context factory allocates a Map that
       
    78                                 serves as request contextual cache.
       
    79                                 Values obtained from JSR 163 API can be
       
    80                                 cached in this object.
       
    81                                 A request contextual cache is allocated
       
    82                                 each time a request is being processed,
       
    83                                 and is released at the end of processing.
       
    84 				Object: 1) preserve atomicity
       
    85                                         2) minimize API calls
       
    86 					3) ensure consistency of the
       
    87 					   various pieces of data returned.
       
    88 
       
    89 MibLogger.java                : Send traces to java.util.logging
       
    90 
       
    91 SnmpTableHandler.java         : an interface used to access table data.
       
    92 
       
    93 SnmpCachedData.java           : This object can be use to cache a snapshot
       
    94                                 of the data contained in a table. 
       
    95 
       
    96 SnmpTableCache.java           : A weak cache for table data. The data is
       
    97                                 computed on demand and cached in a 
       
    98                                 weakreference. Makes it possible to specify
       
    99                                 a validity period for the cache data.
       
   100 
       
   101 SnmpListTableCache.java       : Extends SnmpTableCache - for tables whose
       
   102                                 data is returned in a List object.
       
   103 
       
   104 SnmpNamedListTableCache.java  : Extends SnmpListTableCache - for tables whose
       
   105                                 elements can be named by a unique string.
       
   106 
       
   107 SnmpDaemonTest.java           : A dummy standalone SNMP agent that registers
       
   108                                 the JVM Managemnt MIB in Tiger's SNMP
       
   109                                 adaptor.  This is the "main". Note that
       
   110                                 this not the class that will be used to
       
   111 			        start the adaptor in the final Tiger - it is
       
   112                                 just a dummy test main.
       
   113 
       
   114 JVM Management MIB
       
   115 ------------------
       
   116 
       
   117 JVM_MANAGEMENT_MIB_IMPL.java  : subclasses the generated JVM_MANAGEMENT_MIB
       
   118                                 class. 
       
   119 				Object: overriding factory method in order
       
   120                                         to instantiate custom code instead
       
   121 				        of generated code.
       
   122 
       
   123 
       
   124 JVM Memory Group
       
   125 ----------------
       
   126 
       
   127 JvmMemoryImpl.java            : Provides instrumentation for the jvmMemory
       
   128                                 group. Replaces the generated JvmMemory class,
       
   129                                 which is not used and can be thrown away.
       
   130                                 Implements the generated JvmMemoryMBean 
       
   131                                 interface (which was also implemented by
       
   132                                 the generated JvmMemory skeleton class)
       
   133                                 Use  the request contextual cache
       
   134 				in order to ensure consistency when
       
   135 				returning MemoryUsage datas. Note that all
       
   136                                 tables in this group have been implemented
       
   137                                 as virtual tables. As a consequence, the
       
   138                                 generated TableJvmMemXXXXXTable.java classes
       
   139                                 are not needed.
       
   140 
       
   141 JvmMemoryMetaImpl.java        : Custom MetaData class for the jvmMemory group.
       
   142 			        Subclasses the generated JvmMemoryMeta class.
       
   143                                 Object: overrides the factory methods in order
       
   144                                         to instantiate custom meta data classes
       
   145                                         for the jvmMemManagerTable,
       
   146 						jvmMemGCTable,
       
   147 						jvmMemPoolTable,
       
   148 						jvmMemMgrPoolRelTable.
       
   149 
       
   150 JVM Memory Manager Table
       
   151 ------------------------
       
   152 
       
   153 JvmMemManagerTableMetaImpl.java : Custom MetaData class for the 
       
   154                                   jvmMemManagerTable. This MetaData traps
       
   155 				  all the SNMP Runtime calls made to the 
       
   156                                   table - in order to make the Memory Manager
       
   157 				  table virtual: i.e. the table does not have
       
   158 				  to be maintained permanently in memory.
       
   159 				  Instead, the table is computed "on demand",
       
   160                                   and the data is cached in a weak cache
       
   161                                   (see SnmpNamedListTableCache) which remains
       
   162 				  valid for a few ms. If the data is found
       
   163 				  to be obsolete, or was garbage collected,
       
   164 				  the table is recomputed.
       
   165 
       
   166 JvmMemManagerEntryImpl.java     : Custom Entry class for jvmMemManagerTable.
       
   167 				  Entries are created on the fly when it
       
   168 				  becomes necessary to get data from a 
       
   169 				  Memory Managers. They are temporary objects
       
   170 				  that wrap the MemoryManager just for the
       
   171 			          call duration - and are released just after. 
       
   172 
       
   173 JVM Memory GC Table
       
   174 -------------------
       
   175 
       
   176 JvmMemGCTableMetaImpl.java     : Custom MetaData class for the 
       
   177                                  jvmMemGCTable. This MetaData traps
       
   178 				 all the SNMP Runtime calls made to the 
       
   179                                  table - in order to make the GC
       
   180 				 table virtual: the GC table reuses the
       
   181 			         cached data computed for the 
       
   182                                  jvmMemManagerTable - simply acting as a 
       
   183                                  filter that only shows those elements that
       
   184                                  are instance of GarbageCollectorMetrics. 
       
   185                                  In other words it implements a fitered view
       
   186                                  of the jvmMemManagerTable.
       
   187 
       
   188 JvmMemGCEntryImpl.java         : Provide access to the data specific to
       
   189 				 GarbageCollectorMetrics objects. Objects
       
   190 				 of this classes are created on the fly,
       
   191 				 when data needs to be returned from a 
       
   192 				 GarbageCollectorMetrics object, and are
       
   193                                  released just after. They are not kept in
       
   194 				 memory.
       
   195 
       
   196 JVM Memory Pool Table
       
   197 ---------------------
       
   198 
       
   199 JvmMemPoolTableMetaImpl.java   : Custom MetaData class for the jvmMemPoolTable.
       
   200 			         This is quite similar to what was done for
       
   201                                  the jvmMemManagerTable in 
       
   202                                  JvmMemManagerTableMetaImpl. Most of the code
       
   203                                  here was obtain by cut&paste-ing from
       
   204                                  JvmMemManagerTableMetaImpl and replacing
       
   205                                  "Manager" with "Pool".
       
   206 
       
   207 JvmMemPoolEntryImpl.java       : Provide access to the data specific to
       
   208 				 MemoryPoolMetrics objects. Objects
       
   209 				 of this classes are created on the fly,
       
   210 				 when data needs to be returned from a 
       
   211 				 MemoryPoolMetrics object, and are
       
   212                                  released just after. They are not kept in
       
   213 				 memory. Use  the request contextual cache
       
   214 				 in order to ensure consistency when
       
   215 				 returning MemoryUsage datas. 
       
   216 
       
   217 JVM Memory Manager / Memory Pool Relation  Table
       
   218 ------------------------------------------------
       
   219 
       
   220 
       
   221 JvmMemMgrPoolRelTableMetaImpl.java : Custom MetaData class for the 
       
   222                                  jvmMemMgrPoolRelTable. This meta data
       
   223 			         uses the JvmMemManagerTableMetaImpl and
       
   224                                  JvmMemPoolTableMetaImpl in order to 
       
   225                                  find out the content of the 
       
   226 			         jvmMemManagerTable and the mapping between 
       
   227 				 Memory Pool Name and Memory Pool Index.
       
   228 				 For each element of the jvmMemManagerTable
       
   229                                  it calls the JSR 163 APIs to find the
       
   230 				 related Memory Pool, then finds out their
