Configuration parameters for ITCAM Agent for J2EE Monitoring Agent - J2EE agent
This appendix lists the configuration parameters for ITCAM Agent for J2EE Monitoring Agent.
Configuration parameters
Parameter What you should specify Basic settings Request Data Monitoring This parameter sets the monitoring level for request data stored by the data collector: Select Level1 to collect data only about edge requests, such as servlets and JSPs. You specify the collection percentage on the Collection tab.
Select Level2 to collect data about both edge requests and subsidiary requests, such as JDBC and JMS requests. If you select Level2, all subsidiary requests for the selected edge requests are monitored.
Select Disable to disable collection of request data.
Request Data Monitoring Method This parameter controls how frequently data is collected on service requests made by your site's J2EE applications: Select Fixed Interval to collect request data at a fixed interval that you specify on the Collection tab.
Select On Demand to collect request data only when the portal user requests it.
Resource Data Monitoring This parameter sets the monitoring level for resource (that is, PMI) data stored by the data collector: Select Enable to enable collection of resource data.
Select Disable to disable collection of resource data.
Resource Data Monitoring Method This parameter controls how frequently resource (that is, PMI) data is collected about your site's J2EE applications: Select Fixed Interval to collect resource data at a fixed interval that you specify on the Collection tab.
Select On Demand to collect resource data only when the portal user requests it.
Garbage Collection Monitoring This parameter controls whether statistics are collected about the Java virtual machine's invocation of its garbage-collection algorithm. Select either Enable or Disable. Agent (Advanced) settings Alternative Node ID for identifying this Agent This parameter specifies an alias by which this copy of the TEMA is identified within portal. On Linux and UNIX systems, you can install more than one copy of the monitoring agent on a single host. In this case, set this parameter to different values for each of the copies. Otherwise, the multiple copies of the monitoring agent will not work correctly with Tivoli Monitoring.
Monitoring Agent for J2EE Listening Port Specify the port number the TEMA should use to retrieve monitoring data from the ITCAM Agent for J2EE data collector. Maximum Number of Agent Log Events This parameter controls the maximum number of J2EE Application Server log messages the monitoring agent can store before overwriting them. Custom MBeans Monitoring Port Specify the port number the monitoring agent should use for MBeans Monitoring. Custom MBeans Monitoring Enabled This parameter controls whether MBeans Monitoring is enabled. Select either Enable or Disable. Collection (Advanced) settings Request Data On Demand Maximum Sample Age (sec) Specifies the maximum length of time, in seconds, for which on-demand request data should be collected. Request Data Fixed Interval between Collections (sec) Specifies the amount of time, in seconds, that elapses between request data collections (when data is being collected at fixed intervals). Request Data Sampling Rate (%) This parameter specifies the percentage of all edge (Level1) requests that should be monitored. This value must be in the range 1 - 100. Resource Data On Demand Maximum Sample Age (sec) Specifies the maximum length of time, in seconds, for which on-demand resource (PMI) data should be collected. Resource Data Fixed Interval between Collections (sec) Specifies the amount of time, in seconds, that elapses between resource data collections (when data is being collected at fixed intervals). Garbage Collection Polling Interval (sec) Specifies the length of time that lapses between scans of the verboseGC logs for garbage collection statistics. Log Scan Polling Interval (sec) Specifies the length of time that lapses between scans of the J2EE Application Server message logs for key events. Application Servers (Advanced) settings Unique Alias Name for Application Server Specifies a server alias that is 32 characters or fewer in length. The server will be represented by this name in the Tivoli Enterprise Portal. Application Server Name Specifies the true name of the J2EE server. Application Server Root Directory Specifies the full path name of the directory that defines this application server. Application Dashboard (Basic) settings Application Fair Completion Rate Threshold (%) Specifies the default completion percentage for application fair availability threshold. Application Bad Completion Rate Threshold (%) Specifies the default completion percentage for application bad availability threshold. Application Fair Resource Usage Threshold (%) Specifies the threshold percentage for fair usage level of an application resource. Application Bad Resource Usage Threshold (%) Specifies the threshold percentage for bad usage level of an application resource. Application Resource Usage Monitoring Cutoff Threshold (%) Specifies the cutoff threshold percentage for application resources usage monitoring. Application Dashboard (Auto Threshold) settings Response Time Selection (%) Percentage from baseline to be used for response time auto-thresholding. Response Time Deviation (%) Specifies the deviation for baseline selection to be used for response time auto-thresholding. Fair Response Time Projection (%) Percentage to derive the fair response time threshold from the baseline selection. Bad Response Time Projection (%) Percentage to derive the bad response time threshold from the baseline selection.
