1-6 PATROL for BEA WebLogic User Guide
Response Time Probe
The Probe application class provides a way to monitor and manage server
timing data. You can automatically generate events based on ping time or
response time whenever the status changes to WARNING or ALARM.
You can then monitor PATROL events through the familiar PATROL
Event Manager (PEM) interface.
Component Monitoring
Application classes are provided to monitor critical components of the
WebLogic environment, including the Java Transaction API (JTA), the
Java Messaging Service (JMS), the Java Connection Architecture (JCA),
Enterprise Java Beans (EJBs), execution queues, web applications, and
Jolt and JDBC pools. Web application monitoring capabilities include the
ability to monitor specific servlets.
The JTA functions include the ability to generate various reports with
performance metric details.
JCA is foundation for web applications to interact with other types of
business software, including transaction processing systems, databases,
and ERP applications. PATROL for BEA WebLogic provides several
parameters that can monitor usage of the JCA connectors.
The BEAWLS_JMSSERVER application class monitors the Java
Messaging System and includes commands to configure the JMS server
within the PATROL monitoring environment.
JDBC performance information is available for peak usage and number
of active connections, as well as for connection waiting times. Additional
JDBC features include profiling for connection leaks, prepared statement
cache, and SQL roundtrip metrics.
