To capture resource monitoring
data from JBoss Application Server, you must configure the data source.
Before you begin
Before you can capture resource monitoring data from JBoss
Application Server, you must specify the path to the JBoss client
file,
jbossall-client.jar on the
JBoss
Client Preferences page. The JBoss client file is provided
with JBoss, not with
Rational® Performance Tester.
The version of the JBoss client file must match the version of JBoss
Application Server running on the server under test.
Note: Rational Performance Tester supports
JBoss Application Server version 5.x.
Procedure
To configure the JBoss Application Server data source:
- On the Location page, specify the connection and authentication
information for the instance of JBoss 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 JBoss Application
Server, change the Connection information.
Typically, your JBoss system administrator specifies this information.
- If administrative security is enabled on the computer that
is running JBoss Application Server, select Administrative
security enabled.
- Type the user ID and password for JBoss 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.
- 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.
