The WLEJBTransTest reports measures related to the EJB transaction activity performed by the WebLogic server. This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the WLEJBTransTest and appears on clicking the CONFIGURE DEFAULT button beside this test in the CONFIGURE TESTS page.

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

• The USER text box, indicates the admin user name of the WebLogic server 6.0 or higher being monitored.

• The PASSWORD text box, indicates the password of the specified admin user.

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

• Select Yes if SSL (Secured Socket Layer) is to be used to connect to the WebLogic server, and No if it is not. 

• In the SERVER text box, specify the name of the specific server instance to be monitored for the WebLogic server. The default value is localhome.

• In the URL text box, specify the URL to be accessed to collect metrics pertaining to the WebLogic server. By default, this test connects to a managed WebLogic server and attempts to obtain the metrics of interest by accessing the local Mbeans of the server. This parameter can be changed to a value of http://<adminserverIP>.<adminserverPort>. In this case, the test connects to the WebLogic admin server to collect metrics pertaining to the managed server (specified by the HOST and PORT). The URL setting provides the administrator with the flexibility of determining the WebLogic monitoring configuration to use. 

Note:

If the admin server is to be used for collecting measures for all the managed WebLogic servers, then it is mandatory that the egurkha war file is deployed to the admin server, and it is up and running. 

• To make diagnosis more efficient and accurate, the eG system embeds an optional detailed diagnostic capability. With this capability, the eG agents can be configured to run detailed, more elaborate tests as and when specific problems are detected. To enable the detailed diagnosis capability of this test for a particular server, choose the On option against DETAILED DIAGNOSIS. To disable the capability, click on the Off option.

  The option to selectively enable/disable the detailed diagnosis capability will be available only if the following conditions are fulfilled:

  • The eG manager license should allow the detailed diagnosis capability

  • Both the bad and normal frequencies configured for the detailed diagnosis measures should not be 0.

• The VERSION textbox indicates the version of the Weblogic server to be managed. The default value is "none", in which case the test auto-discovers the weblogic version. If the value of this parameter is not "none", the test uses the value provided (e.g., 7.0) as the weblogic version (i.e., it does not auto-discover the weblogic server version). This parameter has been added to address cases when the eG agent is not able to discover the WebLogic server version.

• 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 "$" indicate variables that will be replaced by the eG system according to the specific server being managed (e.g., if the URL is "http://$hostName:$port", for a specific web server running on the host www.abc.com on port 80, the URL parameter will be set to "http://www.abc.com:80").
