Application server status attributes
The attributes provide status information for all WebSphere® Application Server servers.
The Application Server Status attributes provide status information for all WebSphere Application Server servers (and the WebSphere administrative server) being monitored by the agent.
The attributes within this group are used to build the WebSphere Agent workspace.
- The attributes within this attribute group contain zeros for performance data if your site has set configuration value Resource Data Collection Method to On Demand (for on-demand sampling) and if you have not yet run applications that generate performance data. To report performance data in these attributes after installing and configuring the data collector, use the WebSphere administrative console to set the appropriate PMI instrumentation level.
- The monitoring agent is set by default to provide on-demand sampling; thus the attributes within this attribute group initially contain zeros until you select the workspace and then select it again later. Each time you select the workspace, these attributes are updated with the latest data.
Origin Node The server name subnode. The valid format is an alphanumeric string, with a maximum of 128 characters.
Cluster Name The name of the server group (cluster) that this application server belongs to. The valid format is an alphanumeric string, with a maximum of 128 characters.
Cluster Type Indicates the type of the server group (cluster) the application server belongs to.
Node Name The name of the system on which the server is running. The value format is an alphanumeric string, with a maximum of 128 characters.
Process ID The process identifier of the Java virtual machine (JVM). The valid format is a positive integer.
Sample Date and Time The date and time the monitoring agent collected the data. The valid format is a 12-character timestamp. For the STR and SCAN functions, the format is MM/DD/YY HH:MM:SS; the following table shows the values contained in this character string.
| Character String | Meaning |
|---|---|
| MM | Month |
| DD | Day |
| YY | Year |
| HH | Hour |
| MM | Minute |
| SS | Second |
Example: 09/13/06 18:32:03 indicates the data was collected on September 13 2006, at 18:32:03.
This attribute was designed for logging and reporting data-collection times rather than for creating situations. To specify a time and date for comparison and testing, use attributes from the Universal Time or Local Time groups.
Server Mode The mode of the WebSphere Application Server.
Server Name The name of the application server. The valid format is an alphanumeric string, with a maximum of 256 characters.
Server Origin Node Name Indicates the origin node name of the server subnode.The valid format is an alphanumeric string, with a maximum of 128 characters.
Server Subnode Name The name of the server node in the navigation tree. The valid format is an alphanumeric string, with a maximum of 32 characters.
Server Type The type of server process. The valid values are:
| Server Type | Definition |
|---|---|
| Unknown | The server type cannot be determined |
| AppServer | A process that executes applications |
| AdminServer | The administrative server you use when configuring WebSphere Application Server environments |
| NodeAgent | The WebSphere Application Server node agent |
| JMSServer | The WebSphere Application Server JMS server |
| DeploymentMgr | The WebSphere Application Server deployment (cell) manager |
| ManagedProcess | A stand-alone WebSphere Application Server process |
| UnManagedProcess | A WebSphere Application Server process that is managed by a WebSphere Application Server deployment manager through a node agent |
Start Date and Time The date and time when the WebSphere Application Server started. The valid format is a timestamp. This attribute was designed for logging and reporting data-collection times rather than for creating situations. To specify a time and date for comparison and testing, use attributes from the Universal Time or Local Time groups.
Status The status of the WebSphere Application Server. Valid values are Connected and Disconnected.
WAS Cell Name The name of the WebSphere Application Server cell to which this application server belongs. The valid format is an alphanumeric string, with a maximum of 64 characters.
WAS Configuration Repository Directory Name The name of the WebSphere Application Server configuration repository directory, which normally resides in the config subdirectory of the product installation root directory. The valid format is an alphanumeric string, with a maximum of 128 characters.
WAS Node Name The name of the WebSphere Application Server node group to which this application server belongs. The valid format is an alphanumeric string, with a maximum of 64 characters.
VE Host/port The valid format is an alphanumeric string, with a maximum of 256 characters.
Probe ID The valid format is an alphanumeric string, with a maximum of 128 characters.
