Summary


In this chapter we covered details about JMX in Alfresco. An admin can monitor the application and also configure Alfresco via JMX. There are different beans such as Schedule, Database, Connection Pool, Logger, and so on which can be configured without a system restart. We also covered important aspects from the server maintenance perspective. There are monitoring tools required by the system admin to control the database, disk, and applications.

This chapter also provided details about how an admin can easily fetch the audit records from the system. This will also help to analyze whether unauthorized activity has been performed.
