The following diagram provides a high-level illustration of how Uptime Infrastructure Monitor monitors a WebSphere Application Server:

Deploying the WebSphere servlet

Before Uptime Infrastructure Monitor can begin collecting information from a WebSphere server, you must first deploy the performance servlet in the WebSphere directory that contains your web application. The WebSphere performance servlet uses WebSphere's Performance Monitor Interface (PMI) infrastructure to retrieve performance information from a WebSphere Application Server.

...

  1. On the WebSphere server, locate the following file:
    install_root/perfServletApp.ear
    Where install_root is the directory under which WebSphere is installed.
  2. Copy the file perfServletApp.ear to the directory in which your Web application is installed. For example:
    install_root/installedApps/<cell_name>/DefaultApplication.ear/DefaultApplication.war/WEB-INF/classes
    Where:
    • install_root is the directory under which WebSphere is installed.
    • <cell_name> is the name of the WebSphere node under which your Web application is installed.

Configuring UIM to monitor WebSphere

The Uptime Infrastructure Monitor WebSphere monitor collects data that you can use to generate a report that will provide a historical view of problems that occur on a WebSphere server. The monitor enables you to collect data so that you can:

Info

You can also use the Uptime Infrastructure Monitor HTTP and database monitors to collect information on the status of applications that are running on a WebSphere server. See the Database Monitors andNetwork Service Monitors chapters in the Uptime Infrastructure Monitor User Guide for more information. 

Reports and graphs

After Uptime Infrastructure Monitor has collected a sufficient amount of information from a WebSphere server, you can use the WebSphere report to gain insight into the health and performance of a WebSphere Application Server. Reports can be configured to include any or all of the following metrics:
