jamonapi

End of Life Notice: JAMon 3.0 is the final release of the Java Application Monitor. No further updates, bug fixes, or new features are planned. Existing users are encouraged to migrate to modern observability solutions such as Micrometer, OpenTelemetry, or Spring Boot Actuator. If you have questions about JAMon or need help migrating, feel free to open an issue -- I'm still happy to help.

The Java Application Monitor (JAMon) is a free, simple, high performance, thread safe, Java API that allows developers to easily monitor production applications.

see jamonapi.sourceforge.net for more information.
