Monitoring Tomcat via JMX

Question

We have the challenge to monitor some Tomcats via JMX (and finally via Monitis via the JMX connection).

Tomcat exposes multiple MBean attributes via JMX, but I cannot find any documentation or even an overview about the attributes and their meaning. I can guess some meanings, but I don´t think that´s the best way to do it. So, are there any listings or descriptions about the exposed attributes?

We´re looking for the classic things like memory consumption, request throughput etc.

Have looked here https://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/Monitoring ? There is some information there about basic metrics you might want to monitor
