IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for Application Diagnostics, Version 7.1.0.1
WebSphere XD Overview for ITCAM Agent for WebSphere Applications
ITCAM for Application Diagnostics provides enhanced support for monitoring Virtual Enterprise and Compute Grid products from the WebSphere XD (Extended Deployment) suite. For each XD cell, configured for monitoring by the WebSphere agent, the Tivoli Enterprise Portal shows the subnode under the agent node in the navigation tree. The workspaces under the XD cell subnode show the XD monitoring information.
The XD monitoring data is collected through a JMX connection to the deployment manager server and does not require a data collector. However, if a data collector is installed on any WebSphere XD server, it is possible to drill down to more detailed information.
ITCAM provides the following Virtual Enterprise monitoring features:
Monitors the status and metrics of the ODR (On Demand Router) server
- ODR server status – running, not running, number of running ODR servers in the cell.
- ODR server process JVM and OS metrics.
- Collects requests metrics from ODR servers in the cell and provides summarized statistics over cell, cluster, server, and application.
Monitors the status and metrics of dynamic clusters
- Dynamic clusters topology
- Cluster configuration and state
- Application servers in cluster
- Current number running in cluster
- Max number of servers in cluster
- Dynamic WLM Weight
- ODR server process JVM and OS metrics
Monitors XD application servers JVM information
- Server process JVM and OS metrics
ITCAM provides the following Compute Grid monitoring features:
Monitors Job Scheduler servers
- Job Scheduler server status – running, not running, number of running Job Scheduler servers.
- Job performance metrics reported by job scheduler servers, summarized over cell and per job scheduler.
- Details on queued and executing jobs, including notifications and job steps.
- Job Scheduler server process JVM and OS metrics ODR server status – running, not running.
Monitors Grid Endpoint servers
- Grid Endpoint server status – running, not running.
- Job performance metrics reported by grid endpoint servers, summarized over cell, service policy, and application.
- Grid endpoint server process JVM and OS metrics.
For both XD products, there are a number of situations provided to detect problems in the XD environment and to open Tivoli Enterprise Portal events.
For more information see WebSphere XD Cell Monitoring Prerequisites and Configure WebSphere XD Cell monitoring.
- WebSphere XD Cell Monitoring Prerequisites
- Configure WebSphere XD Cell monitoring
You can configure a WebSphere agent to monitor WebSphere XD cells. To add an XD cell to the Tivoli Enterprise Portal, run the Add_XD_Cell take action option from Tivoli Enterprise Portal. Then the XD cell subnode displays in Tivoli Enterprise Portal and you can configure all connection settings using configuration workspace.- ITCAM for Application Diagnostics - WebSphere XD Cell workspaces
The Tivoli Enterprise Portal XD component has the following workspaces:- Compute Grid Attributes
The Compute Grid attributes provide information and statistics about the WebSphere XD Compute Grid.- ITCAM for Application Diagnostics - WebSphere XD Take Actions
Use the XD Take Action commands in the Tivoli Enterprise Portal interface to add and remove XD cells to and from a WAS.- ITCAM for Application Diagnostics - XD Agent situations
WebSphere XD has a number of predefined situations that you can use to complete the following tasks:
