Tomcat JVM Overview screenshot 1

This dashboard display multiple JMX metrics from Tomcat. JMX needs to be enabled on the Tomcat instance.

This dashboard use https://github.com/egineering-llc/collectd-fast-jmx plugin. The configuration is a mix between multiple example confiugration files found on Internet:
