Default parameters for IBMWLPTopicTest

This test auto-discovers the topics of the applications deployed on the target IBM WebSphere Liberty server and reports the maximum configured size of each topic. This test also helps administrators to figure out whether get operations are allowed on each topic. Using this test, administrators can figure out the topic that is latent and is unable to process I/O requests quickly!

This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the IBMWLPTopicTest.

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

• For the eG agent to collect metrics from the target IBM WebSphere Liberty server, the local connector should be enabled on the target server. Once the connector is enabled, a com.ibm.ws.jmx.local.address file will be created in the ${server.output.dir}/logs/state folder. The eG agent uses this file to connect to the target server and collect the required metrics from it. Therefore, specify the exact path to this file in the SERVICE URL PATH text box. For example, in case of Windows environments, the Service URL Path can be C:\wlp\usr\servers\server1\logs\state and in case of Linux environments, the SERVICE URL PATH can be /opt/wlp/ur/servers/server1/logs/state.

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

When changing default configurations of tests, the values with "$" indicate variables that will be replaced by the eG system according to the specific server being managed - for instance, $hostName is the host/nickname of the target host, $port is the port number of the server being monitored. E.g., for a server xyz:80, $hostName will be changed automatically by the eG manager to "xyz" and $port will be changed to "80" when configuring a test.
