WPAR generic sensor

The WPAR generic sensor discovers applications that run on WPAR systems.

The sensor results are used to start specific application sensors, such as JBossSensor, WebSphere Sensor, and so on.

The discovery process of this sensor is different than of other UNIX systems. Rather than running a discovery against WPAR systems directly, an LPAR system is used to start the WPARGenericSensor. This is because the kdb command is unavailable on WPARs and the sensor is not able to convert open sockets to process PIDs. The whole discovery process is based on the netstat command. The lsof command is not used.
