Enabling Performance in WAS via JMX for secured environment

[tonan]

Hi i am not able to configure the JMX to gather performance data on an environment where global security is enabled. however i am able to work it out in an env where the security is disabled.

Have double checked the SOAP port and its using the defualt 8879. Also i have provided the admin userid and password in the was_dmgr.conf file, what else can be missing.

# ./was_jmxperf.sh
***************Start to establish the connection.
com.ibm.websphere.management.exception.ConnectorException: ADMC0016E: The system cannot create a SOAP connector to connect to host xxx.xxx.com at port 8879.

Hi,

you mean you have a bash script that gathers JMX data from WAS JVMs? Is it possible to have a look at it?

Regards,
Stefano

So finally got to resolve this with the help of splunk team, now that i am enjoying enterprize support. Thankyou Splunk team for nailing the issue.

Resolution:

• You have to download the IBM JAVA JRE version 6 to get this working.
• Dwonload and install it, its a bin file which auto extracts to a folder specified by you in linux.
• Update the file with the new installed JRE : was_jmxperf.sh
• Update the file with the new installed JRE : was_jmxinventory.sh
• Restart the splunk forwarders
