Viewing monitoring data for virtual application instances

If you deploy a virtual application instance, you can open IBM® Cloud Pak System Software Monitoring Portal to access the data collected by the monitoring agents for the virtual application instance.

Before you begin

Make sure that you have deployed at least one virtual application instance in the cloud group.

Procedure

  1. Click Patterns > Virtual Application Instances. If you are on 2.3.3.3, click Patterns > Manage > Virtual Application Instances.
  2. From the list of available instances, select the virtual application instance for which you want to view monitoring data.
    Detailed information about the virtual application instance is displayed.
  3. Expand the Virtual machine perspective section.
    A list of virtual machines that were created for the virtual application instance is displayed.
  4. Click the Monitor link in the Middleware Status column of a virtual machine.
    Important: The 64-bit version of the Java™ Runtime Environment (JRE) is not supported for this operation. You must have the 32-bit version of the IBM JRE Version 6 (SR 12 or later) or IBM JRE Version 7 installed.

Results

The IBM Cloud Pak System Software Monitoring Portal opens, showing you the data collected by the monitoring agents for the virtual application instance.
