Computing resource monitoring and alerting system

A system for monitoring one or more servant regions of an application server, the system comprising:

• an application server having a controller in electronic communication with one or more servant regions;
• and
• a data processor in electronic communication with the application server, the data processor configured to:
• identify the one or more servant regions of the application server;
• request to receive one or more performance metrics for each of the one or more servant regions, the performance metrics (a) included in a virtual resource statistics module for collecting and reporting available resource data, and (b) comprising, for each of the one or more servant regions, at least a free memory, a total memory, and a maximum total memory;
• receive, from the application server, first information including the one or more performance metrics for each of the one or more servant regions;
• extract, from the first information, one or more performance metrics for each of the one or more servant regions of the application server;
• and
• determine, based on the one or more performance metrics, whether to generate an alert by:
• (a) determining, by the processor, for each of the one or more servant regions, when a quotient of the total memory and the maximum total memory exceeds a predetermined first threshold;
• (b) determining, by the processor, for each of the one or more servant regions, an actual free memory level;
• and
• (c) sending, by the processor, a first alert message to an operating system log when, for at least one servant region, (i) the quotient of the total memory and the maximum total memory exceeds the predetermined first threshold, and (ii) the actual free memory level falls below a second predetermined threshold.

A computerized method of monitoring one or more servant regions of a java virtual machine hosted on an application server, the method comprising:

• identifying, by a client in electronic communication with the application server, one or more servant regions of the java virtual machine;
• requesting, by the client, to the application server, to receive performance metrics for each of the one or more servant regions, the performance metrics including a JVM heap space usage, a JVM total heap space, and a JVM maximum heap space, the performance metrics included in an MBean of each of the one or more servant regions;
• receiving, by the client, from the application server, first information including the performance metrics for each of the one or more servant regions;
• extracting, by the client, from the first information, the performance metrics for each of the one or more servant regions of the application server;
• and
• determining, by the client, based on the one or more performance metrics, whether to generate an alert message, by:
• (a) determining, by the client, for each servant region, when a quotient of a total heap size and a maximum heap size exceeds a predefined tolerance level;
• (b) determining, by the client, for each servant region, an actual free memory level;
• and
• (c) sending, by the client, a message to an operating system log when, for at least one servant region, (i) the quotient of the total heap size and the maximum heap size exceeds the tolerance level, and (ii) the free memory falls below a free memory threshold.

• determining, by the processor, based on the one or more performance metrics, whether to generate an alert message;
• generating a system alert when a specified number of alert messages is generated in a specified time interval;
• and
• sending the system alert to an alert management tool.
