The complete MoSKito integration guide – Step 4 – Central storage
Today we are going to unlock even more MoSKito power: more persisting, more centralising. As you know, we can access MoSKito producer's statistics while application is running: http://localhost:8080/burgershop/mui/mskShowAllProducers. But what if: we want to check statistics for some time ago, like the last night, when we were sleeping? we want to have and check statistics for all our applications, not only a single burgershop (as good businessmen, we surely have various projects to be safe from total fail one day!)? we want to automatically analyse the collected (in time and space) data and make some strategical changes, based on results of this analysis? The answer to all these if's is: MoSKito-Central. (more…)

The complete MoSKito integration guide - Step 0
Despite the efforts we put into MoSKito documentation, we are continuously facing questions like 'How to do this' and 'How to get that'.

One to count them all
There were recently a lot of work invested in making MoSKito even better and publishing it to Maven Central, which, btw. is finished! However, it's time to tell you something about the new features in 2.0.x. Today we will be talking about Counters. Well having counters seems to be such a native idea for a monitoring application, that one could wonder, why didn't we had them earlier. And in fact we did. It just wasn't THAT easy to use them as now. Back in the not-so-old 1.x days (like 3 month ago), you had to build the counters yourself. It wasn't hard to do, but still had to be done. Usually this meant that you built your own custom producer, with a lot of code and a lot of ifs and thans in your code. That's over now! (more…)
