Re: [hobbit] WebSphere Monitoring

Hi Allan,

I tried adding another logfile monitor today,
and I didn't have much success. I put it on
both the client side and server side, but it
never seemed to send any data.

HOST=myhost
     LOG /opt/WebSphere/AppServer3/log/Weblog.out

Put it in the localclient.cfg on the client, and
in the hobbit-clients.cfg on the server.

I was looking for things to monitor in the log file.
Any suggestions for most failing types for Websphere?
What's the script that calls the server status?

Is there something that will give me the server status
for every instance running, or do I have to know
the port numbers and instances?

Thanks...James

Does anyone monitor any Websphere Logs?

I'm looking for suggestions on monitoring them.

Thanks.James

Anything in particular you want to test for ? You can run a script that calls the serverstatus command and then greps the output. Otherwise you can use the logfile monitoring and add rules to match against the error codes you want reported

My suggestion would be to have a hunt through man pages and the mailing list archives at http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/ for some of the threads about log monitoring
Error codes could be fun although if you know of some error that happens then you can grab that one particular code and string and monitor for that, but otherwise for me or anyone else to be able just hand over any old codes to monitor would be far from ideal.

As for the status script its located in the AppServer/bin directory called serverStatus.sh
If you call it as 'serverStatus.sh -all' it will give you a status about all the individual servers but only running or started
Only thing youd have to do form there is turn it into a form of hobbit script although there may already be one out there on http://www.deadcat.net
