Using Prometheus
Prometheus is an open-source monitoring tool. It provides a component called the JMX Exporter that can be used to gather data from MBeans of a JMX target. The JMX Exporter is included in the Universal Messaging product delivery as the jar file jmx_prometheus_javaagent.jar. You can run the JMX Exporter as a Java Agent to export a set of Universal Messaging time series data that can be analyzed by Prometheus.
For general details about Prometheus, visit the web site https://prometheus.io/. If you want more details about the JMX Exporter, visit the web page https://github.com/prometheus/jmx_exporter/tree/master/example_configs.
