I have a Spring MVC web application running on tomcat. I need to monitor my application for performance, log the time taken by each method call along with the values of the parameters. I would need this logging for all the methods in all the controllers, services, util classes inside the application.
I have seen the question posted earlier here : How to log the time taken by methods in Springframework?
As for the solutions proposed for that question., I have the following concerns in my case.
1) Using Spring AOP for logging - Closely matches the requirements but as far as I know it requires adding annotations to each and every method - would prefer to avoid changing current application.
2) Stagemonitor - Could not follow the installation instructions - it requires installation of docker which I could not because of OS limitation. I am working on openSUSE 11.3 where as docker is available for openSUSE 12.3+
3) SpringInsight - It is a great tool and exactly matches my requirements. But the problem is, it runs is vfabric-tc-server instance. I tried setting up it on tomcat 7 using the steps mentioned by Daniel in Using Spring Insight with Tomcat 6 but it did not workout as none of the jars in insight application has the class com.springsource.insight.collection.tcserver.ltw.TomcatWeavingInsightClassLoader which was supposed to be referred from server.xml. Tried adding external jar but it did not work.
I'm wondering if there are any other tools which
-- will not require changing existing application MUCH - simple configuration should be acceptable.
-- will give method level performance monitoring .
-- strictly should not need to migrate the existing applications to other server.
Thanks in advance :)
