How can I effectively monitor JVM applications in the cloud?

You can use tools like Prometheus, Grafana, or New Relic to monitor JVM applications in the cloud. They provide metrics and visualizations.

What specific metrics should I focus on for JVM monitoring?

Key metrics include heap memory usage, garbage collection times, thread counts, and CPU usage. These help identify performance issues.

Are there any best practices for setting up monitoring alerts?

Yes, set thresholds for critical metrics, use anomaly detection, and ensure alerts are actionable to avoid alert fatigue.

Can I integrate these tools with my existing CI/CD pipeline?

Absolutely! Most monitoring tools offer APIs or plugins that can be integrated into CI/CD pipelines for automated monitoring.
