Monitor traffic through the proxy server

We can monitor traffic, such as requests and connection statistics, through the proxy server.

We should know the machines and nodes that will belong to the proxy server cluster before completing these steps, because the product must be installed on those machines.

Tasks

1. Ensure that the proxy server is running and there is some traffic flowing through the proxy server.
2. Obtain the proxy server MBean and invoke the operation to get the route statistics as follows:

   1. Start the wsadmin scripting tool.

   2. Get all of the traffic statistics through the proxy server using one of the following commands.

      Use the JACL command

      $AdminControl queryNames type=ProxyServer,*
      set proxymbean <cut and paste the MBean identifier from the previous command output>
      $AdminControl getAttribute $proxymbean stats
      

      Use the Jython command

      print AdminControl.getAttribute((AdminControl.queryNames("type=ProxyServer,*")), "stats")
      

      The $AdminControl queryName command lists all of the proxy server MBeans. There will be one per active proxy server in the cell. Set the proxymbean variable to the appropriate proxy server MBean from the output of the previous command.

The traffic that flows through the proxy server can now be monitored.
