Custom advisor policy settings

We can configure settings for a custom advisor policy. Custom advisor policies allow for more specific determination of target application server availability by sending protocol level requests to back-end servers. Custom advisor policies are unique based on the combination of the business-level application ID and the composition unit ID.

From the admin console, click...

        Servers > Server Types > WebSphere proxy servers > proxy_server > Custom advisor policies > bla_id.

Business-level application ID

Unique identifier for a business level application. A business-level application is a configuration stored in the product configuration repository.

Composition unit ID

Unique identifier for a composition unit. A composition unit is a registered custom advisor asset that has additional configuration information, which we specified when adding the asset to the application.

Poll interval

The amount of time, in seconds, between requests for custom advisors.

Connect timeout

The amount of time, in seconds, to wait before a connection attempt fails.

I/O timeout

The amount of time, in seconds, for a custom advisor to wait before read and write operations succeed. If the timeout is reached, then the server stops.

Enable logging

Specifies whether or not logging is enabled. By default, the check box is cleared.

If logging is enabled, then the proxy server logs error messages to a log file. If logging is not enabled, log messages are not added to a log file.

Enable log file wrapping

Specifies whether information at the beginning of the log file is overwritten when the maximum log file size is reached. The default is True.

Log file size

Size, in megabytes, of the log file.

Custom advisor mappings

Application servers, application server clusters, or generic server clusters the custom advisor monitors.
