hobbit bea graphing

I noticed a "bea[2][3]" definition in the hobbitgraph.cfg file. How do I enable the monitoring/graphing of bea weblogic servers? That would absolutely be a blessing!!! Rick

It's "work-in-progress" currently. I've enabled the SNMP agent on some BEA servers, and use a simple script to collect memory statistics from the JRockit JVM. There are some detailed info and a sample script to collect these stats in the hobbitd/larrd/do_bea.c However, I was fooled initially because I didn't realize that when you have a BEA management node handling several servers, then you need to use a special SNMP community-string to pick up statistics from the managed servers, rather than the administration-node. So unless you are running stand-alone BEA servers, these statistics won't be of much use to you. But obviously, I do need some performance metrics for my BEA servers, so it is being worked on. My current setup collects the JRockit metrics, but also the request-count (serviced, pending, total) and idle thread count for each of the Java containers - I need to get this into Hobbit to collect the data, and write up some graph definitions.

I'll be glad to beta the bea piece whenever you are ready! That would stop the hounds from telling me we're moving to Nagios.... BLAH!!!!! Any time frame on this project? Rick

I hope to have it ready sometime next week - it's very high on my priority list, because we need it rather urgently at work. Henrik

The BEA stuff is in the just-released beta-6, available on Sourceforge. But I forgot to include the script that collects the statistics. It's very simple, so I've attached it here. You probably need to tweak it for your setup - the BEA domain should be changed, and possibly also your BEA snmp module is on a different port than 1161. You need the BEA MIB definitions installed for this to work. Henrik
