"The Java Management Extensions (JMX) specification defines the architecture, services, and API for the distributed management of resources using Java. JMX can be used to instrument everything from network hardware to applications, enabling you to build your own applications that manage these instrumented resources. This chapter focuses on how WebLogic Server is itself instrumented, and how this enables you to create applications that monitor and manage various aspects of a WebLogic domain and its deployed applications."
