Commons-DBCP-monitoring

Monitor what threads are using connections from the DBCP pool, and waiting for connection. Generate a nice table to understand what is happening.

Usage:

1. Replace your application's commons-dbcp-1.4.jar with commons-dbcp-1.4-monitored.jar (rename it to pretend it is really the same JAR file)
2. Run your application, making sure the output is directed to a log file
3. When you want, generate a graph:
   1. Run: ./generate-dbcp-graph.sh <your-output-file.log>
   2. Wait while dbcp-connected-by-thread.csv and dbcp-waiting-by-thread.csv are generated.
   3. Open the CSV files with any spreadsheet program (like LibreOffice) and use conditional formatting to end up with the table below. To create the graph below, create a SUM column for each CSV and use your spreadsheet program's graphing feature.
