How does one monitor Mule 3 ESB Community Edition with multiple Servers/Mule Agents?

Mule 3 seems to be extremely cool however the price tag on their enterprise product just won't just it for us for some clients.

As far as I am aware the community edition of Mule 3 allo开发者_StackOverflow社区ws you to create as many Mule Servers/Agents that you want and Mule would allow you to deploy to any one or more of such instances.

Within the Enterprise version of Mule 3 there is a very slick web based control panel which not only seems to deal with the monitoring of Mule servers/agents but can also automatically split up jobs either automatically or upon high loads.

I would really appreciate if anyone has found a good open source or inexpensive alternative to this Web based Management Console or any Java based server which would allow the same type of monitoring/control to take place thus replicating some of the Management Consoles capabilities.

Any/all feedback and suggestions are greatly appreciated!

I use JMX to monitor Mule instances:

This gives a good insight on what's happening inside of Mule (Mule-specific MBeans) and also the condition of the JVM (standard JVM MBeans).

It also gives some control on the different components of Mule, like the capacity to stop/restart endpoints, etc...
