To capture resource monitoring
data from a Java™ Virtual Machine
(JVM), you must configure the data source.
Before you begin
The Java Management
Extensions must be configured on the server that is running the JVM.
Following are sample arguments to pass to the JVM:
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=8880
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false
Procedure
- On the Location page, specify the
connection and authentication information for the computer that is
running the JVM. If you need to change the port that is used to communicate
with the server, change the information in Connection. The port number must match the port that you specified when configuring Java Management Extensions on the
server.
- If administrative security is enabled on the JVM computer,
select Administrative security enabled.
- Type the user ID and password 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 counter groups and counters
that are available from the computer running the JVM. Be selective;
monitoring all possible resource data requires substantial amounts
of memory. Hold your mouse pointer over a counter to see details about
what that counter measures.
- Configure the options on the Options page.
- In Polling Interval specify in
seconds the interval for collecting resource data. For example, if
you accept the default of 5 seconds, counter information is collected
at 5-second intervals from the specified host during the schedule
run.
- In Timeout Interval specify in
seconds the time to wait for a response. If the resource monitoring
host does not respond within this amount of time during a schedule
run, an error is 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.
