Configuring the agent on Windows® systems

You can configure the WebLogic agent on Windows® operating systems by using the IBM Performance Management window. After you update the configuration values, you must start the agent to save the updated values.

Procedure

  1. Click Start > All Programs > Monitoring.

  2. In the IBM Performance Management window, right-click the Monitoring Agent for WebLogic template, and then click Configure agent.

    Remember: After you configure an agent instance for the first time, the Configure agent option is not available. To configure the agent instance again, right-click it and then click Reconfigure.

  3. Enter a unique instance name then click OK. Use only letters, Arabic numerals, the underline character, and the minus character in the instance name. For example, weblogic01.

  4. Click Next on the Instance Name agent configuration pane.

  5. Enter the WebLogic Server Configuration instance template settings.

    Note: It's not the WebLogic server connection instance configuration. It is a template section for settings that are used as the default values when you add the actual WebLogic server connection instance configurations in step 6.

    See Table 1 for an explanation of each of the configuration parameters.

    Note: If you use Oracle WebLogic server 14c or later versions, it's recommended to use t3, instead of iiop in the Protocol field.

  6. Press New and enter WebLogic server connection instance settings, then click Next.

    See Table 1 for an explanation of each of the configuration parameters.

  7. Click OK to complete the configuration.

  8. Copy the WebLogic security files into the WebLogic agent binary directory.

    1. For Oracle WebLogic server 12c or previous versions, locate the files wlclient.jar and wljmxclient.jar under ORACLE_HOME. For example, C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_Home\wlserver\server\lib. For Oracle WebLogic server 14c or later versions, locate the file wlthint3client.jar under ORACLE_HOME. For example, C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_Home\wlserver\server\lib.

    2. Copy the files from step 8.1 to the WebLogic agent binary directory.

      • Linux®: 

        <install_dir>/bin

      • Windows®: 

        <install_dir>\TMAITM6_x64

      Where <install_dir> is the path where the agent is installed. The default <install_dir> paths are listed here:

      • Linux®: 

        /opt/ibm/apm/agent

      • Windows®: 

        C:\IBM\APM\TMAITM6_x64

  9. In the Monitoring window, right-click the instance that you configured, and then click Start.
