11-2 PATROL for BEA WebLogic User Guide
Monitoring WebLogic Across the Enterprise
PATROL for BEA WebLogic contains several commands in the
BEAWLS_SERVER application class that are initiated from the
administration server icon but that affect how PATROL monitors your
entire WebLogic environment. These commands include:
• Tuning collectors: by using only those collectors that are most
critical to your monitoring needs, but turning off others, you can
improve overall PATROL performance and more easily scale to
larger monitoring environments.
• Scheduling blackout periods: you can suspend PATROL alerts for
periods of time when you shut down parts of your WebLogic
environment. Routine maintenance shutdowns or backups might
ordinarily trigger PATROL alerts, but you can suspend those alerts
temporarily by scheduling a blackout period.
• Start Java collector: you may occasionally need to restart your
PATROL collector after routine maintenance shutdowns, or when the
collector status shows that it is not operating correctly.
