Add JBoss Application Server sources

To capture resource monitoring data from JBoss Application Server, configure the data source.

Before you can capture resource monitoring data from JBoss Application Server, specify the path to the JBoss client file, jbossall-client.jar on the JBoss Client Preferences page. The JBoss client file is provided with JBoss, not with Rational Performance Tester. The version of the JBoss client file must match the version of JBoss Application Server running on the server under test. To configure the JBoss Application Server data source:

  1. On the Location page, specify the connection and authentication information for the instance of JBoss Application Server to use to capture resource monitoring data. If you need to change the SOAP port used to communicate with the computer that is running JBoss Application Server, change the Connection information. Typically, JBoss system administrator specifies this information.

  2. If administrative security is enabled on the computer that is running JBoss Application Server, select Administrative security enabled.

    1. Type the user ID and password for JBoss Application Server in Authentication.

    2. Select Save Password to save password locally. If you do not save password, you might be prompted for it (depending on the host system configuration) when you edit the configured location or when you run test schedules that use the location.

  3. On the Resource page, select the type of data to capture. The tree view shows the application server and its counter groups and counters. Be selective; monitoring all possible resource data requires substantial amounts of memory. Clear the Show only selected counters check box to see all available counters. Hold mouse pointer over a counter to see details about what that counter measures.

  4. Configure the options on the Options page.

    1. Type the Polling Interval in seconds, for collecting resource data.

      For example, if you accept the default of 5 seconds, counter information will be collected at 5-second intervals from the specified host during the schedule run.

    2. Type the Timeout Interval in seconds. If the resource monitoring host does not respond within this amount of time during a schedule run, an error will be logged.
