To capture resource monitoring
data from the IBM® WebSphere® Performance Monitoring Infrastructure,
you must configure the data source.
Procedure
To configure the IBM WebSphere Performance
Monitoring Infrastructure data source:
- On the Location page, specify the connection and authentication
information for the instance of WebSphere 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 WebSphere Application Server, change the Connection information. Typically, your WebSphere system administrator will specify this information.
- If administrative security is enabled on the computer that
is running WebSphere Application
Server, select Administrative security enabled.
- Type the user ID and password for WebSphere Application Server in Authentication.
- Select Save Password to save
your password locally. If you do not save your 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.
- 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 your mouse pointer over a counter to see details about
what that counter measures.
- Configure the options on the Options page.
- Click Reset counters at start of run (client
side reset only) to set the counters to 0 at the start
of a schedule run. This does not change the actual values
of the counters on the application server. Instead, the recorded values
of the counters are corrected to start at 0. For example, if you monitor
the ServletRequestCount counter, it starts at 0 instead of its previous
value.
- 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.
- 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.
- To collect the resource monitoring data for the system under test that is in the cloud, in the
Cloud Options tab, click the Location in Public Cloud
check box.
- Click Next.
- Specify a location and name and click Finish.
