Configuring WebSphere Applications monitoring
Configuring WebSphere® Applications monitoring involves configuring a data collector for your application servers. The data collector can be either stand-alone or embedded with the WebSphere Applications agent.
- Embedded data collector
- Most of the WebSphere application servers can be monitored by the embedded data collector, except for the Liberty profile on IBM® Cloud. The embedded data collector can provide all available monitoring features.
- Stand-alone data collector
- The stand-alone data collector is applicable only for WebSphere Application Server Liberty on Linux® for System x and for WebSphere Liberty profile on IBM Cloud.
Use Table 1 to determine the appropriate data collector for your application server.
Application to be monitored | Applicable data collector | Documentation |
---|---|---|
WebSphere Application Server traditional | Embedded data collector | Configuring the data collector for WebSphere Applications agent |
WebSphere Liberty profile on IBM Cloud | Stand-alone data collector | Configuring the Liberty data collector in IBM Cloud environment (Liberty V18.* and older versions) |
WebSphere Liberty profile in Docker container | Embedded data collector | Monitoring WebSphere Application Server Liberty inside a Docker container |
