Configuring PATROL for BEA WebLogic 3-11
This section explains how to enable and disable advanced monitoring
features.
Note
The J2EE instrumentation and profiling features are available only on
servers on which a PATROL Agent is running (servers identified with the
LOCAL_MANAGED icon).
Decide What to Enable: Added Value by Feature
A basic configuration of PATROL for BEA WebLogic monitors most
critical components of a WebLogic environment and will be appropriate
for most production environments. Enabling additional features provides
more detailed information and enables additional application classes.
The following table shows which parameters are enabled at each level
(this information is also available in a more expanded form in Appendix
B); this can help you decide if you need to turn on advanced monitoring
options for your WebLogic environment.
Tip
Most production environments will not want instrumentation, profiling,
and method-level data to be collected regularly. BMC Software
recommends enabling the advanced instrumentation and profiling
features only when you have a need for them and are comfortable with
the added resource overhead that they require.
