How the SMART Plug-In for WebLogic Server Works
COMPONENT INTERACTION
WLS-SPI components must all work together in order to retrieve data and
deliver useful information regarding the health of the targeted server. The tasks
that components complete and the windows you use to access the individual
components are as follows:
Task Window you open — Component you use:
Connecting to the server &
configuring the managed
node
Application Bank window — WebLogic SPI SPI
AdminConfig WLSSPI: When you run the application
WLS SPI Config, you enter information about the Web
application server running on the managed node, so the SPI
knows how to connect to the server and gather data for
metrics and reports.
Interpreting/ displaying
information on the
WebLogic server conditions
Message Source Templates window — monitor
templates: Defines conditions relating to each metric value
used by OVO agent software to generate messages and other
information made available in the OVO Message Browser.
Configuring metric
collections
Message Source Templates: collector template. Lists all
metrics within the template group and directs the
collector/analyzer to collect the values of the specified
metrics at predefined intervals, compare them to permissible
levels, and call OVO to check threshold values and trigger
alarms.
