Integrate with Apache Tomcat

Use the application server agent setup wizard to configure and integrate the Java EE agent and the Java EE Integration Agent with Apache Tomcat Catalina startup scripts or with Tomcat running as a Windows® Service.
You must supply the Catalina Home directory or the Windows Service name for one or more application servers with which you want to integrate. Optionally, you can also specify pre-instrumentation options and agent options.
Before you begin
For most configurations of a Tomcat server running as a Windows Service, the Java EE Integration Agent automatically integrates the Java EE agent. Read the Important note below to determine if you are required to complete additional steps to integrate the Java EE agent with a Tomcat server running as a Windows Service.
If you are not required to perform the additional steps, complete the integration procedure (Integrating with Tomcat ), then restart your Tomcat application server. No other steps are required.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: If you are using one of the following configurations, you are required to integrate manually. Extra steps are required.
•
On 32-bit or 64-bit Windows: Startup mode is set to Java and you have not specified a Java home using the JavaHome command line option.
•
On 64-bit Windows: Startup mode is set to jvm and the Use Default check box is selected. If you are using one of these configurations, complete this procedure: Configuring a Tomcat Windows Service that requires manual integration .
•
Best Practices: We recommend that you explicitly set the Java home or the Java Virtual Machine when setting up a Tomcat application server that is running as a Windows Service. This prevents the Tomcat server from running with an unexpected JRE and makes the integration easier.

Integrate with WebSphere

Before you begin remote agent integration with an IBM® WebSphere® application server, first review the following sections:
•
Understanding what should be instrumented
•
Setting the PMI levels on WebSphere 6.x and 7.x
•
Running WebSphere with security enabled
Next, follow the procedure in Integrating with WebSphere startup scripts , as appropriate for your system.

Understanding what should be instrumented

The following guidelines identify the components in a WebSphere® domain that require instrumentation to ensure that the Nexus can do a full data collection.
For standalone servers:
•
Each standalone server process must be integrated and running.
•
To collect WebSphere metrics on the average size of an HTTP session, enable Average Size (b) Current in the Show columns list and then restart your WebSphere application server using the
-Dquest.configfilter.httpsessionsize=true command. For more information about show and hide columns, see the Foglight for Application Servers User Guide.
•
WebSphere version 6.x and 7.x standalone servers must be integrated by their server startup scripts, or by individual Windows® server processes.
* 
NOTE: Standalone servers started solely by an instrumented Admin agent do not need to be integrated individually. However, if a standalone server is started by other means (startup script, or Windows Service), then integrating using these methods is required.
•
WebSphere version 7.x standalone servers registered with a WebSphere 7.x Admin agent possess an extra integration option: integrating the Admin agent process instead of individual registered servers. Any standalone servers launched by an instrumented Admin agent are also instrumented. However, the Admin agent is not required for monitoring of any standalone servers it may have started, and it may be shut down once all startup activities have been completed. To manually integrate a WebSphere version 7.x Admin agent, see Manual integration with IBM WebSphere Application Server .
For WebSphere Servers federated in a WebSphere Cell:
•
The Domain Manager of each WebSphere Cell must be integrated for complete cell monitoring, and must remain running during the monitored period. Any interruption in the service of an instrumented domain manager results in incomplete Nexus data collection, and possible false alarms.
•
Each Node agent must be integrated with the agent, and must remain running during the monitored period. Any interruption in the service of an instrumented nodeagent results in incomplete data collection, and possible false alarms. Individual application servers started by an instrumented Node agent are instrumented automatically.
•
No integration is required for individual servers. Attempts to start an individual server using a startup script fail, as WebSphere requires you to send the start command by using the server’s node agent.
* 
CAUTION: For any server with a corresponding Windows service: Attempts to start a server by using a startup script may launch a Windows service instead. If the startup script is instrumented with the Java EE Integration Agent, then the resulting WebSphere process is instrumented as well. Otherwise, the integration properties of the Service are used. This release changes the behavior of services launched as a result of a start script invocation.
