Configuring WebSphere Application Server environments

To enable Health Center monitoring in a WebSphere® Application Server environment, use the administration console to change the configuration.

Prerequisite

The Health Center agent must be installed. See Installing the Health Center agent for more information about how to install the Health Center agent before you configure WebSphere Application Server.

Procedure

To enable the Health Center for use with WebSphere Application Server:
  1. Select Servers ->Server Types -> WebSphere application servers.
  2. Select the server name and then select Java and Process Management -> Process definition -> Java Virtual Machine -> Generic JVM Arguments.
  3. Enter the correct string for your Java™ Virtual Machine (JVM) version.
    On UNIX® system based platforms:
    • For Java 5 SR9 and earlier or Java 6 SR4 and earlier, use:
      -agentlib:healthcenter -Xtrace:output=/tmp/perfmon.%p.out
    • For Java 5 SR10 and later, or Java 6 SR5 and later, use:
      -Xhealthcenter
    On Microsoft® Windows®:
    • For Java 5 SR9 and earlier or Java 6 SR4 and earlier, use:
      -agentlib:healthcenter -Xtrace:output=C:\temp\perfmon.%p.out
    • For Java 5 SR10 and later, or Java 6 SR5 and later, use:
      -Xhealthcenter
  4. Apply the changes and save the settings at the top of the page.
  5. Restart the JVM.

    On UNIX system based platforms, the perfmon*.out files are in /tmp.

    On Microsoft Windows, the perfmon*.out files are in your temporary directory.

  6. Connect to the server from the Health Center client. The default port number is 1972. For more information about connecting, see Connecting to a Java application using the Health Center client.
