Chapter 1: WebLogic Server SPI Concepts
How the SMART Plug-In for WebLogic Server Works
Components of the SMART Plug-In for
WebLogic Server
The WebLogic Server SMART Plug-In components include applications and
templates that allow you to configure and receive data in the form of messages
and short reports. These messages (available in the Message Browser) and short
reports (through applications or message details) provide you with information
about conditions present in the server(s) running on specific managed nodes.
WLS-SPI configuration applications let you configure the management server’s
connection to named server instances on specific managed nodes. After you have
configured the connection, you can assign templates to the nodes. With OVO
agent software running on the manage nodes, you can use WLS-SPI reporting
applications to generate reports. In addition, you can generate graphs that show
WLS-SPI data.
Chapter 2 details how to install the components and use them to configure server
instances on the managed nodes and then deploy the template groups. The
sections that follow here give you brief descriptions of all components.
