A lot of people in the Java community use JMXTrans or embedded JMXTrans to
monitor Tomcat. As mentioned previously, JMXTrans can send data to ptrans
over the Graphite protocol.

<mea culpa>
I have all the setup details and article ready since last summer
HWKMETRICS-158 Write an article to explain how to use Metrics + JMXTrans +
Grafana to monitor Tomcat application
I did not publish because I wanted to create a video and then my attention
was brought to other things. It's a shame. I will fix this.

</mea culpa>
