Monitoring CLM application and services in Windows deployment


Vishnu Kumar (2621627) | asked May 17 '18, 3:54 a.m.

Hi,

We have deployed IBM CLM in following topology.

1 IHS (Reverse Proxy) Windows 2012 8 16 50 IBM HTTP
2 JTS/CCM/GC/LDX/RB Windows 2012 8 16 100 IBM CLM
3 DNG Windows 2012 8 32 200 IBM CLM
4 DM Windows 2012 8 16 200 IBM CLM
5 DB Server Windows 2012 8 16 150 Extendable for DNG SQL Server 2014 (Single Node)
6 DCC/LQE Windows 2012 16 32 100 IBM CLM
7 RELM Windows 2012 8 24 100 IBM CLM

I am exploring the possibilities to monitor CLM services/processes so that we can get triggers whenever we are reaching system threshold etc.

What all options do i have ?, something similar to SCOM ?

Regards
Vishnu Kumar

Thanks Ralph. I had gone through the links and Here are few more follow up questions.

1) We are at version 6.0.5 so CLM server monitoring is no longer valid for us. I skipped that part.

2) I looked into Jazz Server monitoring section (https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Deployment/CLMServerMonitoringGeneral). it is useful information.

3) seems like JTSmon is also deprecated from version 6.0.3 so it is also no longer available.

4) I read  Web and Application Server monitoring section and tried to access websphere liberty administration console but always got Context Root Not Found after supplying credentials those are jazzadmins

I also read that Version 6.0.3 includes a new, lightweight monitoring utility that uses industry-standard MBeans and that can be consumed by other application monitoring services.

where can i find more information about this particular utility ?, i would also like to mention that we are using Liberty.

Regards
Vishnu Kumar

Liberty:

Open the URL e.g. https://clm.example.com:9443/ and navigate to the admin center e.g.
https://clm.example.com:9443/adminCenter/

You need to configure adminCenter if it is not already done. see https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSAW57_liberty/com.ibm.websphere.wlp.nd.multiplatform.doc/ae/twlp_ui_setup.html#twlp_ui_setup__uiconfserv

You can use several monitoring tools to access the MBeans. You can access most of that information through repoDebug as well. 

MBeans have been implemented and are available. please see https://jazz.net/library/article/91590 for more information. You can access the MBeans using monitoring tools or using RepoDebug - see the article.

Hi Ralph,

Thanks for the information. As you can see we have multi-server topology with IHS so each server has its own liberty URL.

we have something like this

https://server02/adminCenter/
https://server03/adminCenter/
https://server04/adminCenter/
https://server06/adminCenter/
https://server07/adminCenter/

JTS is responsible for user authentication. server.xml is shared across all the application but i am not sure if each server can be authenticated using JTS LDAP.

How can i ensure that adminCenter is installed on Liberty ? is there a way to check ?

Google for the liberty help and check the server.xml settings required to configure the adminCenter.

Thanks Ralph for pointing us towards Mbeans. I am referring this document to enable Mbeans and also to see the possibility of consuming Mbeans through other tools such as SCOM.


Is there any Mbeans responsible for License usage monitoring as well ?

Hi!

What is your application server?
I use the WebSphere Application Server Performance Tuning Toolkit to monitor an environment the same as yours, and it's useful for me.

Hi Leonardo,

No, we are using Liberty. Is there an alternative for Liberty ?
