title: Tomcat manager/admin apps on multiple $CATALINA_BASES
body: <p>A couple of queries regarding the Tomcat manager and admin apps. </p>
  
  <p>I have tomcat no a development area configured to run multiple catalina bases. Basically each user has their own $CATALINA_BASE and can do their own delopment or testing on their area. The directory structure is currently as follows</p>
  
  <pre><code>Env1 - $CATALINA_BASE - /u/tomcatenv/user1
  Env2 - $CATALINA_BASE - /u/tomcatenv/user2
  Env3 - $CATALINA_BASE - /u/tomcatenv/user3
  Env4 - $CATALINA_BASE - /u/tomcatenv/user4
  Env5 - $CATALINA_BASE - /u/tomcatenv/user5
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>All catalina base environments have the following directories</p>
  
  <pre><code>common
  conf
  webapps
  logs
  server
  webapps
  work
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And they all point to the same $CATALINA_HOME in /u/tomcat</p>
  
  <p>Now every now and then the system runs out of resources and we would want to find out which environment is the culprit. We would also like to monitor the connection pools on each of the environments. </p>
  
  <p>My question i guess is, is it possible to install the tomcat manager and admin application in such a way that it can monitor all the catalina base environment. I have been reading around and so far i think the tomcat manager application can only be installed per $CATALINA_BASE. </p>
  
  <p>I have also looked at probe which i believe it also can only per $CATALINA_BASE. Is there another solution? 
  If not the manager/admin apps, is there any opensource tool that can monitor multiple $CATALINA_BASES?</p>
