Net::Tomcat - A Perl API for monitoring Apache Tomcat.

VERSION

Version 0.01

SYNOPSIS

Net::Tomcat is a Perl API for monitoring Apache Tomcat instances.

        use Net::Tomcat;

        # Create a new Net::Tomcat object
        my $tc = Net::Tomcat->new(
                                username => 'admin',
                                password => 'password',
                                hostname => 'web-server-01.company.com'
                              ) 
                or die "Unable to create new Net::Tomcat object: $!\n";

        # Print the Tomcat server version and JVM version information
        print "Tomcat version: " . $tc->server->version . "\n"
            . "JVM version: " . $tc->server->jvm_version . "\n";

        # Get all connectors as an array of Net::Tomcat::Connector objects
        my @connectors = $tc->connectors;

        # Print the connector names, and request and error counts
        foreach my $connector ( @connectors ) {
                print "Name: " . $connector->name . "\n"
                    . "Request Count: ".$connector->request_count . "\n"
                    . "Error Count: ".$connector->error_count . "\n\n"
        }

        # Directly access a connector by name
        print "http-8080 error count: " 
                . $tc->connector('http-8080')->stats->error_count . "\n";

	# Retrieve a Net::Tomcat::Connector::Scoreboard object
	# representing the request scoreboard of the connector.
	my $scoreboard = $tc->connector('http-8080')->scoreboard;

	# Get all threads in a servicing state as 
	# Net::Tomcat::Connector::Scoreboard::Entry objects.
	my @threads = $scoreboard->threads_service;

METHODS

new ( %ARGS )

Constructor - creates a new Net::Tomcat object. This method takes three mandatory parameters and accepts six optional parameters.

username

A valid username of a user account with access to the Tomcat management pages.

password

The password for the user account given for the username parameter above.

hostname

The resolvable hostname or IP address of the target Tomcat server.

port

The target port on the target Tomcat server on which to connect.

If this parameter is not specified then it defaults to port 8080.

proto

The protocol to use when connecting to the target Tomcat server.

If this parameter is not specified then it defaults to HTTP.

app_status_url

The relative URL of the Tomcat Web Application Manager web page.

This parameter is optional and if not provided will default to a value of '/manager/html/list'.

If this parameter is provided then it should be a relative URL in respect to the hostname parameter.

server_status_url

The relative URL of the Tomcat Web Server Status web page.

This parameter is optional and if not provided will default to a value of '/manager/status/all'.

If this parameter is provided then it should be a relative URL in respect to the hostname parameter.

refresh_interval

The interval in seconds after which any retrieved results should be regarded as invalid and discarded. After this period has elapsed, subsequent requests for cached values will be issued to the Tomcat instance and the results will be cached for the duration of the refresh_interval period.

Note that the refresh interval applies to all objects individually - that is; a Net::Tomcat::Connector object may have a different refresh interval than a Net::Tomcat::Connector::Scoreboard object.

This parameter is optional and defaults to 3600s. Caution shoudl be exercised when setting this parameter to avoid potential inconsistency in sequential calls to assumed immutable objects.

connector ( $CONNECTOR )

# Print connector error count.
my $connector = $tc->connector( 'http-8080' );
print "Connecter http-8080 error count: " 
	. $connector->stats->error_count . "\n";

# Or
printf( "Connector %s error count: %s\n",
	$tc->connector('http-8080')->name,
	$tc->connector('http-8080')->stats->error_count
);

Returns a Net::Tomcat::Connector object where the connector name is identified by the named $CONNECTOR parameter.

connectors

Returns an array of Net::Tomcat::Connector objects representing all connector instances on the server.

server

Returns a Net::Tomcat::Server object for the current instance.

jvm

Returns a Net::Tomcat::JVM object for the current instance.
