Hi Allan,

I tried adding another logfile monitor today,
and I didn't have much success. I put it on
both the client side and server side, but it
never seemed to send any data.

HOST=myhost
     LOG /opt/WebSphere/AppServer3/log/Weblog.out

Put it in the localclient.cfg on the client, and
in the hobbit-clients.cfg on the server.

I was looking for things to monitor in the log file.
Any suggestions for most failing types for Websphere?
What's the script that calls the server status?

Is there something that will give me the server status
for every instance running, or do I have to know
the port numbers and instances?

Thanks...James

I'm looking for suggestions on monitoring them.

Thanks.James
Anything in particular you want to test for ? You can run a script that calls the serverstatus command and then greps the output. Otherwise you can use the logfile monitoring and add rules to match against the error codes you want reported
