Module 5: Use the xsadmin tool to monitor data grids and maps

Use the xsadmin tool to show the primary data grids and map sizes of the Grid data grid. The xsadmin tool uses the MBean to query all of the data grid artifacts, such as primary shards, replica shards, container servers, map sizes, and other data.

In this tutorial, the catalog server is running as a stand-alone Java SE server. The container servers are running in WebSphere Application Server application servers.

For the catalog server, a MBean server is created in the stand-alone Java virtual machine (JVM). When you use the xsadmin tool on the catalog server, WebSphere eXtreme Scale security is used.

For the container servers, the WebSphere eXtreme Scale run time registers the Managed Beans (MBean) with the MBean server that is created by the WebSphere Application Server run time. The security that is used by the xsadmin tool is provided by the WebSphere Application Server MBean security.

1. Use a command-line tool, open the DMGR_PROFILE/bin directory.

2. Run the xsadmin tool. Use the -primaries parameter as in the following examples:

   

   ./xsadmin.sh -g Grid -m mapSet -primaries -username manager -password manager1 -p 16099
   

   

   xsadmin.bat -g Grid -m mapSet -primaries -username manager -password manager1 -p 16099
   

   The user name and password are passed to the catalog server for authentication.

3. View the command results.

   1 myCell02\myNode04\xs2_C-1 myhost.mycompany.com myCell02\myNode04\xs2
   2 myCell02\myNode04\xs2_C-1 myhost.mycompany.com myCell02\myNode04\xs2
   3 myCell02\myNode04\xs2_C-1 myhost.mycompany.com myCell02\myNode04\xs2
   4 myCell02\myNode04\xs2_C-1 myhost.mycompany.com myCell02\myNode04\xs2
   

4. Run the xsadmin tool. Use the -mapsizes parameter as in the following examples:

   

   ./xsadmin.sh -g Grid -m mapSet -mapsizes -username manager -password manager1 -p 16099
   

   

   xsadmin.bat -g Grid -m mapSet -mapsizes -username manager -password manager1 -p 16099
   

   The user name and password are passed to the catalog server for authentication. After you run the command, you are prompted for the WebSphere Application Server user ID and password to authenticate to WebSphere Application Server. You must provide this login information because the -mapsizes option gets the map size from each container server, which requires the WebSphere Application Server security.

5. View the command results.

6. Optional: You can change the PROFILE/properties/sas.client.props file to run the command without the user ID and password being required. Change the com.ibm.CORBA.loginSource property from prompt to properties and then provide the user ID and password. An example of the properties in the PROFILE/properties/sas.client.props file follows:

   com.ibm.CORBA.loginSource=properties
   # RMI/IIOP user identity
   com.ibm.CORBA.loginUserid=Admin
   com.ibm.CORBA.loginPassword=xxxxxx
   

7. Optional: If you are using the xsadmin command on a WebSphere eXtreme Scale stand-alone installation, then add the following options to indicate the truststore, truststore type, and truststore password.

   -trustStore
   -trustStoreType
   -trustStorePassword
   

   You can also set up a properties file to contain these parameters. See Attributes and arguments for xsadmin utility for more information.
