Have you looked at the Disgnostic Framework in 9.2 recently? There's a nifty console that you can add on to the Admin console called the WebLogic Diagnostic Framework Console Extension.
Copy the diagnostic-console-extension.jar file from your WEBLOGIC-INSTALL/server/lib/console-ext directory to your domain's console-ext directory. If you don't have a console-ext directory just create one in you domain directory.
Then, restart the admin server, and when you login to the Admin Console you now have a tab that shows the WLDF Console Extension. You will need the Java Plug-in for your browser in order for the Console Extension to work.
A very simple use of this is to monitor the JVMRuntimeMBean's Heap usage. You can click and drag the attributes to the View panel to see the graph. There are built-in views that comes out of the box as well. You can also use this Console Extension to view Method Performance under the Requests tab.
The advantage of the WLDF is not only does it monitor real time information of your cached MBeans, but it can also go against your WLDF Harvested (metric) or Instrumentation (event) data. With the data from your HarvestedDataArchive logs, it can show both current and historical data so you can perform some trend analysis.
For more information on the WebLogic Diagnostic Framework and the details of Harvester, Instrumentation, etc., take a look at the edocs at: http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs92/wldf_configuring/

William, while we appreciate your input, can you please provide more meaningful comments? Right now this reads like an advert ;-)

How about this Jon?
With runtime diagnostics being addressed by various commercial (commercial: JINSPIRED, BEA, BMC, HP...) and open source (Apache NDC, LogBack) vendors in similar ways but non-compatible is it not time to consider proposing a standard API to allow developers of applications and frameworks to integrate much easier with such solutions, publishing and filtering the most relevant contextual data.
