    IPM/APM V8.1.3 OS Agent 'Execute Command' (formerly 'Take Action' via ITM V6) for a Threshold

    JohnHorton 1000004VEM | | Visits (2988)

    Tweet
    Scenario:  Our company would like to create a Threshold that will run a command to restart a downed Linux service. For example, We have a requirement to AUTO-START a Linux Service using the Thresholds 'Execute Command' capability. For ITM V6, our Take Action command would be the following, 'service <service-name> start' Solution: In order for the IPM/APM V8.1.3 Threshold 'Execute Command' to work, the full path to the 'service' command needs to be specified otherwise it will not work. To start off, you... [More]

    Bypassing the Sybase Agent Install "find / -name ASE-*" command

    RayRosales 20000046XT | | Visits (2492)

    Tweet
      While installing Sybase agent, prereqchecker invokes the SybaseVersion_plug.sh script which executes the "find" command from root for finding Sybase server version.  This "find /" command takes a long time on systems with large disks, high volume of mounts.   If this is a an issue for you and you would like to find a way bypass the command to speed up the install process, there is a workaround. The workaround though only applies to the silent install. All you would have to do is run the silent install... [More]

    ITM Communications - Manual Validation by John Alvord, IBM Corporation jalvord@us.ibm.com   Introduction ITM Communication Services has requirements. When the requirements are not met things break in strange and non-obvious ways. Most communication is via TCP Socket links. After setup these are used to implement Remote Procedure Calls. This often works beautifully by default but in new environments it pays to perform some manual checks. It is also helpful when processes do not connect.   Manual Validation Lets review the case where a... [More]

    ITM Agent Insights: Installing ITCAM UD agent for DB2 monitoring installs back-level components

    DougDoering 120000E6GG | | Visits (3518)

    Tweet
    The DB2 monitoring agent by design installs both 32 and 64 bit UD agent components (necessitating both 32 and 64 bit shared libraries - AX, and 32 and 64 bit JRE and GSKIT) because the bitness of the UD monitoring agent must match the bitness of the DB2 installation.  Since DB2 allows for both 32 and 64 bit databases, the monitoring agent must provide 32 and 64 bit UD agents.   The ITCAM for DB2 installation image packages back-level Common Installer components, which can result in older levels of AX / JR / GS components being...

    Troubleshooting - WebSphere Applications Agent: No data on the Memory Analysis dashboard after Diagnostic is enabled

    kbixler 060001X4BD | | Comment (1) | Visits (2361)

    Tweet
    Problem: After Diagnostic is enabled, no data is available on the Memory Analysis dashboard. Solution: Data availability on the Memory Analysis dashboard requires the IBM Health Center component of IBM JRE to collect trace data. Use the following steps to solve this problem: 1. Check the JVM arguments for the application server. If the following strings are defined, which prevent the Health Center to collect data, remove them. -Xhealthcenter -Xgc:allocationSamplingGranularity -Xtrace:none 2. Check the version of JRE that is used by the... [More]
