Unix/Linux
- From theextracted directory, run:
./install.sh - Specify the same <Agent Candle Home> directory to proceed.
Example/opt/IBM/ITM - Refer for detailed installation steps: Agent Installation Guide on Unix/Linux.
Windows
- From the extracted directory, launch the installation wizard by double-clicking the setup.exe file in the \WINDOWS subdirectory.
- Specify the same <Agent Candle Home> directory to proceed.
Example
C:\IBM\ITM - Refer for detailed installation steps: Agent Installation Guide on Windows.
Reconfigure the ITCAM Agent using thecommand line or the GUI.
ITCAM Data Collector for WebSphere
- If the maintenance level of the ITCAM Data Collector for WebSphere shipped with this Agent Fix pack is higher than the existing DC level, then the Data Collector will also be installed in a new DC_HOME directory.
- Use the configuration utility using the command line or silent mode to monitor new WebSphere server instances.
- Use the migrate utility using the command line or silent mode to upgrade WebSphere server instances from an earlier DC maintenance level.
See the Agent for WebSphere Applications Installation and Configuration Guide for more details.
OSLC Support
- Install an OS agent on the same computer system as the WebSphere agent. You must install an OS agent version that supports OSLC.
- Copy the following files from the Agent directory to the computer system where your Hub TEMS and Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Automation Server are installed as follows:
Windows
- Copy file from TEMA <ITM_HOME>\TMAITM6\kynoslc.xml to TEMS: <ITM_HOME>\CMS\OSLC\XML
- Copy file from TEMA <ITM_HOME>\TMAITM6\kynutil.xml to TEMS: <ITM_HOME>\CMS\OSLC\LIBS
Linux/UNIX
- Copy file from TEMA <ITM_HOME>/<platform>/yn/bin/kynoslc.xml to <ITM_HOME>/TABLES/<hubname>/OSLC/XML
- Copy file from TEMA <ITM_HOME>/<platform>/yn/bin/kynutil.xml to <ITM_HOME>/TABLEs/<<hubname>/OSLC/LIBS
- Restart the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Automation Server.
Spring Framework beans monitoring
- Add to WebSphere Appliction Server JVM arguments:
-javaagent:${ITCAMDCHOME}/toolkit/lib/tk_dyninst.jar - Uncomment com.ibm.tivoli.itcam.toolkit.ai.enablespring=true in toolkit_global_custom.properties (to enable for all application servers) or in toolkit_custom.properties (on per-server basis).
Resource monitoring
Use Case 1: Enable resource monitoring without configuring the ITCAM data collector within the application server.
Run the ITCAM data collector configuration tool.
- When you see the following prompt:
Do you want to integrate with an ITCAM Agent for WebSphere Applications?
Specify "1" (Yes) to select integration with the WebSphere agent.
- When you see the following prompt:
Do you want to configure a data collector within the application server?
Specify "2" (No) to bypass theconfiguration of the data collector.
- Optionally specify an alias when prompted:
Enter the server alias for server XX in node YY
- Optionally override the TCP/IP port that will be used for internal communications between ITCAM components to gather resource monitoring data. Unless the default port (63355) is in use, you should probably accept the default value.
Enter the internal port number for resource monitoring [default is: 63355]
- After you accept the configuration selections, the config tool will display a message to confirm the configuration of resource monitoring:
Successful registration of resource (PMI) monitoring by ITCAM Agent for WebSphere Applications.
- Restart the ITCAM Agent for WebSphere Applications to initiate resource monitoring.
- Resource (PMI) metrics will be available in the Tivoli Enterprise Portal (TEP)
Use Case 2: Enable resource monitoring and configure the ITCAM data collector within the application server
Run the ITCAM data collector configuration tool
- When you see the following prompt:
Do you want to integrate with an ITCAM Agent for WebSphere Applications?
Specify "1" (Yes) to select integration with the WebSphere agent.
- When you see the following prompt:
Do you want to configure a data collector within the application server?
Specify "1" (Yes) to configure the data collector.
- Optionally specify the hostname or IP address if 127.0.0.1 is not valid:
Enter the host name or IP address of the ITCAM Agent for WebSphere Applications TEMA: [default is: 127.0.0.1]:
- Optionally override the TCP/IP port that will be used for communication between the data collector and the TEMA:
Enter the port number of the ITCAM Agent for WebSphere Applications TEMA: [default is: 63335]:
- Optionally specify an alias when prompted:
Enter the server alias for server XX in node YY
- Optionally override the TCP/IP port that will be used for internal communications between ITCAM components to gather resource monitoring data.
Unless the default port (63355) is in use, you should probably accept the default value.
Enter the internal port number for resource monitoring [default is: 63355]
- After you accept the configuration selections, the config tool will update the WebSphere configuration to define the data collector
- Restart the ITCAM Agent for WebSphere Applications to initiate resource monitoring.
- Resource (PMI) metrics will be available in the Tivoli Enterprise Portal (TEP).
- Restart the application server to deploy the data collector in order to display request monitoring, garbage collection, and log analysis metrics in the TEP.
WebSphere Liberty Profile Monitoring :
- Run the ITCAM Data Collector configuration tool.
- Specify the WebSphere Liberty Profile directory after the following prompt:
Enter a number or enter the full path to a home directory [default is: 1]:
- Continue with the Data Collector configuration.
Note: Following ITCAM WAS Agent attribute groups are not supported for the Liberty server:
- High_Availability_Manager
- DCS_Stack
- Thread_Pools
- Servlet_Sessions
- EJB_Containers
- Enterprise_Java_Beans
- Container_Transactions
- Container_Object_Pools
- J2C_Connection_Pools
- Alarm_Manager
- Dynamic_Cache
- Dynamic_Cache_Templates
- Workload_Management_Server
- Workload_Management_Client
- Scheduler
- Web_Services_Gate_Way
- Client_Communications
- Messaging_Engine_Communications
- WMQ_Client_Link_Communications
- WMQ_Link_Communications
Issues and Workarounds
1. Agent is not getting started on SUSE 16 (Z Platform) as the libnsl.so library is deprecated
Workaround: Create a placeholder using another valid library, like below:
sudo cp /usr/lib64/libc.so.6 /usr/lib64/libnsl.so.1
2. IV63126 Situations associations are missing when dynamic affinities are used.
Workaround: Install ITM APAR IV63126.
