WebSphere XD Cell Monitoring Prerequisites

To monitor the WebSphere XD cell, the following prerequisites must be met by the system where the WebSphere Tivoli Enterprise monitoring agent is installed:

• The WebSphere monitoring agent can be installed on any computer which has WebSphere XD installed, for example, WebSphere Virtual Enterprise or WebSphere XD Compute Grid products. You do not have to install the WebSphere monitoring agent on the same system as the deployment manager, it can be on the same or a different system.

• The XD products installed on the monitoring agent system need to be the same version and release as the XD deployment manager.

• The WebSphere monitoring agent user must have read and execute access to the WebSphere XD installed files.

• It must be possible to establish WebSphere administrative client connection to the deployment manager. A network connection must be available and not be blocked by a firewall. This connection is typically available if any of the servers assigned to the cell are running on the system.

• If security is enabled for the WebSphere XD cell then there must be an existing WebSphere user or new WebSphere user created which has rights to complete the following tasks:

  • Establish administrative client connection

  • Access ConfigService

  • Query Perf MBean (PMI) and other WebSphere MBeans

  This user is specified directly or indirectly within the deployment manager connection properties during monitoring agent configuration.
