BeetNG is a fork of beet a sourceforge hosted Java/Spring-based application behavior and performance data recording tool.

As Beet seems no longer maintained by its original authors, this fork was started. The main objectives are:

• fix and add support for newer versions of Spring (3.0 and 3.1)
• add new data persisters
• add tools to ease data analysis
• implement a VisualVM integration
• add JEE6 support

This is the original description of the tool, as extracted from the sourceforge website.

Beet records user behavior and performance data for your Spring-based Java application. It can thus help you to analyze usage patterns and research production performance issues. Beet requires Spring Framework 2.0 or 2.5.
