Configuration parameters for retrieving synthetic execution data

When you configure the APM monitoring profile in PATROL for Application Management, you manually configure the AM Configuration monitor type. 

Note

If your Execution Plan interval is set to two minutes or less, the first few results may not be visible.

Admin Configuration
Java Path

Specify the path to the local Java home directory.

By default, BMC PATROL for OpenStack uses the JAVA Runtime Environment (JRE) that is installed with the PATROL Agent.

To use your own JRE that is installed in a different location, enter the path for the JAVA home directory. The JRE must be v1.8 or above. For example, if your JAVA executable exists in the /usr/java/jdk1.8.0_20/jre/bin/java path, enter /usr/java/jdk1.8.0_20/jre as the value of this field.

Note: If Java home is not specified, by default, the Java home for the PATROL Agent is used.

Initial Heap Size (MB)Initial size of Java heap memory, measured in megabytes. The default is 64 MB.
Max Heap Size (MB)Maximum size of Java heap memory, measured in megabytes. The default is 128 MB.
JVM ArgumentsType the additional Java Virtual Machine arguments for the Java collector. For example: For Java memory settings: -Xms256m -Xmx1024m.
Enable Device Mapping

Devices are created for each monitored application on the Monitoring > Devices page. It saves you extra clicks to navigate the PATROL Agent hierarchy while viewing monitoring results.

Note: Device mapping is supported only for application names.

If you disable device mapping, all monitored applications are displayed under the PATROL Agent on the Devices page.

Select the check box to enable device mapping.

Enable LoggingSelect this option to enable the debug. The log files are located at <PATROL_HOME>/<XXXXXXX>/log location on the PATROL Agent server.
