Configuring DEM in Unified Agent

When you deploy the Unified Agent, you can select to install DEM plug-in for digital experience monitoring.

About this task

To deploy the Unified Agent with DEM, do the following steps:

Procedure

  1. Ensure that you complete steps 1-3 at Installing and configuring the Unified Agent to deploy the Unified Agent.
  2. Specify DEM config parameters.
    1. Select the jaeger sampler type:
      • const: always sampler or always drop
      • probabilistic: sampler by probabilistic
      • rateLimiting: sampler by count or second
    2. Select the jaeger sampler param. The valid values for Param field are as follows:
      • For const sampler, it is 1 for always true and 2 for always false.
      • For probabilistic sampler, it is a probability between 0.0 and 1.0.
      • For rateLimiting sampler, it is the number of spans per second.

Results

The DEM plug-in is successfully installed and configured in Unified Agent.

What to do next

To enable DEM on IBM HTTP Server or Apache HTTP Server, you must do extra steps to configure the monitoring. For more information, see Installing and configuring the DEM plug-in for HTTP Server.
