Configuration of EgJbServletTest

This test monitors the servlets deployed on the JBoss AS/EAP server and reports the following:

  • The number of incoming requests to each servlet;
  • The time taken to load each servlet;
  • The time taken by each servlet to to process the requests and the rate at which the requests are processed
This way, the administrators can identify the servlet that is handling the maximum number of requests.

The default parameters associated with this test are:

  • The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed.

  • Specify the host for which the test is to be configured in the HOST text box.

  • Specify the port at which the specified HOST listens to in the PORT text box. By default, this is 9990.

  • If the JBoss AS/EAP server being monitored is an SSL-enabled server, then set the SSL flag to Yes. If not, then set the SSL flag to No.

  • Specify whether the server to be monitored is currently running in DOMAIN MODE or not using the IS JBOSS RUNNING IN DOMAIN MODE? flag. By default, this flag is set to No which implies that the server is currently running in STANDALONE MODE. If you have started the target JBoss server using the default web profile configuration in domain mode i.e, if you have executed the ./domain.sh command from the <JBoss_INSTALL_DIR>/bin directory, then specify Yes against this flag.

  • In the JBOSS HOST NAME text box, specify whether the target server to be monitored is a master or a slave in a JBoss cluster. By default, none will be specified here which implies that the target JBoss server is a standalone server. Refer to Monitoring JBoss AS/EAP servers document to know how to identify whether the target server is a master or slave in your environment.

  • Specify the name of the server instance that is to be monitored. By default, none will be specified here. Refer to Monitoring JBoss AS/EAP servers document to identify the name of the server instance that is to be monitored.

  • Specify the credentials of the user who is authorized to access the management console of the target JBoss server, in the MANAGEMENT USER and MANAGEMENT PASSWORD text boxes. To create a new user, click here.

  • Confirm the MANAGEMENT PASSWORD by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box.

  • If multiple components of the same component type are awaiting configuration, then an APPLY TO OTHER COMPONENTS check box will appear in this page. Clicking on this check box will allow you to apply the configuration to all/selected components of that type.

  • Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will register the changes made.

When changing the configuration for specific servers, a “*” beside the text box corresponding to the parameter signifies that these values have to be manually configured by the user. The parameter values that require to be configured will typically be prefixed with a “$” or contain a series of “*”. A value of "none" in the parameter value indicates that the corresponding parameter value can be changed if required.
