If you are creating a new server and you want to use the
Service Monitor widget in Business Space to measure the response time
and request throughput for services exposed or invoked by an SCA module,
configure and enable service monitoring in the administrative console.
Before you begin
Required
security role for this task: If administrative security is enabled,
you must be logged in with an administrative role to perform this
task.
The service monitor
server must be enabled before you can use the Service Monitor widget. In stand-alone server environments, the service monitor server
is enabled by default during profile creation. In deployment environments
and for new servers created using the administrative console, you
must enable the service monitor server manually from the administrative
console. For Remote Message and Remote
Support topology patterns, the service monitor server must be enabled
in the Support cluster, and for Remote Messaging, Remote Support,
and Web (four-cluster) patterns the server must be enabled in the
web cluster.
About this task
The service monitor has a client/server architecture.
- Service monitor agent: Measures the throughput and response time
for operations and sends the measurement data to the service monitor
server
- Service monitor server: Gathers and aggregates response time and
throughput measurements from all running service monitor agents, and
then calculates and stores the statistics.
Important: If you are using an external HTTP server to access
Business space, make sure to configure the HTTP server to allow encoded
slashes. Refer to the HTTP server documentation for details.
Procedure
- Log into the administrative console with administrator
privileges.
- Configure the service monitor server.
- From within the console, click .
- On the Service Monitor page, click Enable
service monitor.
- Examine the default values for the service monitor buffer
size and the query size limit and, if necessary, revise them.
- Specify the service monitoring targets. These are the
service monitor agents you want to gather data from.
