+# Apache Tomcat monitoring with Netdata
+
+Presents memory utilization of tomcat containers.
+
+Charts:
+
+1.  **Requests** per second
+
+    -   accesses
+
+2.  **Volume** in KB/s
+
+    -   volume
+
+3.  **Threads**
+
+    -   current
+    -   busy
+
+4.  **JVM Free Memory** in MB
+
+    -   jvm
+
+## Configuration
+
+Edit the `python.d/tomcat.conf` configuration file using `edit-config` from the Netdata [config
+directory](/docs/configure/nodes.md), which is typically at `/etc/netdata`.
+
+```bash
+cd /etc/netdata   # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory, if different
+sudo ./edit-config python.d/tomcat.conf
+```
+
+```yaml
+localhost:
+  name : 'local'
+  url  : 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/manager/status?XML=true'
+  user : 'tomcat_username'
+  pass : 'secret_tomcat_password'
+```
+
+Without configuration, module attempts to connect to `http://localhost:8080/manager/status?XML=true`, without any credentials.
+So it will probably fail.
