Monitoring EJB Methods
Summary: Monitor selected EJB methods.
No EJB methods are monitored by default because there are far too many
of them, the information is far too detailed for most users, and the objects
of critical importance are specific to each individual WebLogic
environment.
If you are unsure which EJB objects are most important in your
environment, start by locating EJBs with the slowest performance or
those most called by applications running in your environment, and then
run a report on Top N EJB Methods to isolate the methods that are most
likely to be important to you. See “Running the Top N EJB or Top N EJB
Methods Report” on page 9-9 to find these objects.
To monitor EJB methods:
Step 1
Right-click an EJB_HOME instance icon
(running the Top N EJB Report will
tell you which EJB_HOME instance to use).
Step 2 From the KM Commands menu, choose Monitor EJB Method.
To stop monitoring an EJB method:
Step 1
Right-click the instance icon of the
EJB method that you want to stop monitoring.
Step 2 From the KM Commands menu, choose Stop Monitoring.
Where to go from here
You can now monitor your selected EJB method and can set alarm
thresholds if you wish to be alerted to significant performance changes in
this method.
