Does Inductive or anyone has any recommendation for a JVM application monitoring tool for Ignition. Our company has started to standardize on Ignition everywhere/everything. The Equipment Engrs need tool to help with Diag/Troubleshoot issues inside the JVM. Google searches recommend Dynatrace, Newrelic etc. Is there Opensource or commercial that is better for Ignition. It seems Ignition 8.x is based on Zulu, is there JVM monitoring that is best with it? Tks John ---

I've been using VisualVM, making remote JMX connections to my Ignition instances. The ability to easily diff snapshots then drill down into heap dumps has been very helpful. ---
