| Ehcache Monitor | The Ehcache Monitor is an add-on tool for Ehcache which provides enterprise-class monitoring and management capabilities for use in both development and production. It is intended to help understand and tune cache usage, detect errors, and provide an easy-to-use access point to integrate with production management systems. It also provides administrative functionality, such as the ability to forcefully remove items from caches. |
| JMX Management | As an alternative to the Ehcache Monitor, JMX creates a standard way of instrumenting classes and making them available to a management and monitoring infrastructure. |
| Logging | Ehcache uses the the slf4j logging facade, so you can plug in your own logging framework. This page also provides recommended logging levels. |
| Shutting Down Ehcache | If you are using persistent disk stores, or distributed caching, care should be taken when shutting down Ehcache. This page covers the ServletContextListener, the shutdown hook, and dirty shutdown. |
