[Heads up] new visualisation plugin available
After being inspired by Gregor & Erik's talk at TSSJS 2 days ago, I
hacked up a broker plugin to visualise the topic and queue
hierarchy...
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/ACTIVEMQ/Visualisation
I'm sure we could do much more of this kind of thing - particularly on
ServiceMix too - to help folks visualise the current system topology
and configuration.

I've just completed a second, more impressive visualisation that shows
all the connections on a broker together with the producers and
consumers, showing the flow of connection -> producer -> destination
-> subscriber -> connection.
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/ACTIVEMQ/Visualisation
To minimise noise I've left off the actual session objects from the
graph; you can kinda figure that out by the numbers in each
producer/consumer (the first number is the session and the second the
producer/consumer number)

You read my mind :)
So right now this DOT file is real time; every time a destination is
added/removed we regenerate the DOT file. So using the OS X tool, we
get a real time graphical view. (We could hopefully add a kinda
web/ajax client on top of this to get real time visualisations on the
management portal too).
The part I really want us to do is to graphically represent how
connections, sessions, consumers & producers relate to brokers &
destinations within the brokers; together with stats. There's a ton of
useful visualisations we can do - our only limitation here is our
imagination.
I've put together a visualisation wish list wiki page...
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/ACTIVEMQ/Visualisation+Wish+List
please if you can think of any interesting ideas for what we could
visualise or how it could look, please add a note. Better still try
patch the code to do it :)
BTW if you are interested - here's the code for the real time
rendering of the destination hierarchies....
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/activemq/trunk/activemq-core/src/main/java/org/apache/activemq/broker/view/
as you can see its pretty simple stuff; we've a ton of stats and
information inside the broker that it'll be really easy to render as
some kind of picture

Very nice. Put some IP addresses there and refresh the DOT file periodically with some numbers/stats, and I'll start drooling.
