Configuring Web Transactions monitoring

Instance Name

Enter a valid instance name. If the instance name contains a space, it is not considered.

Example: If "bmc software" is the instance name, it would be considered as "bmcsoftware".

Web transaction file name

Enter a valid web transaction file name, the name of the file you capture using the web recorder utility.

The file is saved on the server where the PATROL Agent is running, at %PATROL_HOME%\WTX\Shared\usr_apps\webtranx\<Web transaction file name>.tran

Specify the time interval between two consecutive statistical data polls, in seconds.

Default value is 60 seconds.

Specify the time-out period for each poll of statistical data, in seconds.

The KM supports monitoring of URLs that require Client Certificates by importing the Java key store database file (known as the .jks file) into the KM. 

When you configure the URLs to be monitored that require a client certificate, those client certificates should be already imported into the .jks file so it can be used while communicating with the URLs. An authorization error will occur if the required certificates are not found in the .jks database file. 

Enter the path (along with the file name and .jks extension) where the Java key store database file is located.

The Java key store database file must be accessible from the host where the PATROL Agent is running. BMC PATROL default account must have read permission on the directory where the .jks file is located.

Specify the display name of the root application.

By default, the name is Web Transaction.

Select/clear this check box to enable/disable device mapping. Enabling device mapping consolidates Web Transaction monitoring at device level.

By default, device mapping is enabled (check box is selected).

Select/clear this check box to enable/disable debugging. The logs are located at %PATROL_HOME%\WTX\logs

By default, debugging is disabled (check box is cleared). 

Enter the complete path of the Java home directory if you are not using the JRE that is installed with the PATROL Agent.

Example:

• (Windows) - If the JRE files reside at C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre8\bin\java.exe location then specify the path as C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre8
• (UNIX/LINUX) - If the JRE files reside at  /usr/java/jdk1.8.0_65/bin/ location then specify the path as /usr/java/jdk1.8.0_65
