A perfect example of JMX overkill can be seen in the case of popular
      server-monitoring software such as Nagios or Ichinga: if you want to
      monitor 10 items via JMX, you will have to launch 10 JVMs, make 10 JMX
      connections, and then shut them all down every few minutes. With the
      JMXProxyServlet, you can make 10 HTTP connections and be done with it.
