Chapter 3: Using and Customizing the WebLogic Server SPI

Basic Template Customizations

After you begin using the WLS-SPI you may decide that specific WLS-SPI

templates need some modification. Descriptions contained in the previous

section of metric monitor templates (rules for interpreting metric data; for

example, thresholds,) and collector templates (rules for the scheduled metric

collection) show you where to go to make the various changes. For example, to

change a threshold, you would open a metric monitor template. To schedule or

delete a metric from data collection, you open the collector template. Those

kinds of basic customizations are covered in this section.

NOTE In most cases, it is advisable to make copies of the original templates so that the

default templates remain intact.

Modifying Monitor Templates

Many metric attributes can be easily modified for all monitored instances of

WebLogic Server by following these steps.

1. Select the Message Source Templates window.

2. Open the template group containing the metric to modify.

3. Double-click the desired metric to open the Message and Suppress

Conditions window.

4. Double-click the desired condition to modify (there is usually only one).
