How to monitor tomcat which is installed on windows servers

[Eshwar]

Hi Splunk experts,

We have some apache tomcat web servers which are installed on windows so we want to monitor those servers via OTEL collector but while checking the document it says the configuration only support on Kubernetes and Linux. So, is there a way that we can monitor windows apache tomcat servers? Please suggest!

Thank in advance.

Hi,

I had followed below documentation.

https://docs.splunk.com/observability/en/gdi/monitors-hosts/apache-tomcat.html

There was mentioned Kubernetes and Linux in the installation steps.

Not able to monitor tomcat via OTEL collector.

I am getting below error in event logs.

It seems, according to https://docs.splunk.com/observability/en/gdi/opentelemetry/components/smartagent-receiver.html#smart... that collectd monitors are indeed not supported on Windows.

Is there any other option which  can be monitor tomcat? 

Please suggest!

Hi,

The jmx receiver may be worth a look. It would involve configuring TomCat to create a jmx endpoint. Then configuring the OTel jmx receiver to connect to that endpoint to gather metrics.

Checking which document?

And what is not supported on Windows? OTEL collector? Or monitoring tomcat with it?
