IBM Business Monitor, V8.0.1 > Install IBM Business Monitor

Determining port numbers

To determine the port number to use with web interfaces such as Business Space and the portlet-based dashboards, review the configuration in the WebSphere Application Server administrative console.

In an ND (ND) environment, you normally use a proxy server or an HTTP server for security reasons and for workload balancing. Instead of incoming HTTP requests going directly to a specific cluster member, they go to a proxy server that can spread the requests across the multiple cluster members that perform the work. In this case, you need the host name and port number of the proxy server or web server, which in turn forwards the request to a cluster member.


Procedure


Results

Web modules are deployed to a virtual host (by default named defaulthost). Virtual hosts are configured in the administrative console by clicking Environment > Virtual hosts. The virtual host that you choose for each web module must include the HTTP or HTTPS port that is used by the server (or cluster member) where the web modules are deployed. Additionally, each of the IBM Business Monitor web modules should use the same virtual host. There are web modules in most of the IBM Business Monitor, Business Space, and REST applications (EAR files).
