Registering a Generic JVM environment in PATROL


Providing configuration information that defines your Generic JVM environment to the PATROL monitoring environment includes registering the Generic JVM environment.

Before you begin

  • You must have installed and loaded PATROL for Generic Java Server.
  • You enable a JMX port for monitoring through JMX commands.
  • The operating system user account must have read and execute permissions for the Java Home directory, and full access to the ../Patrol3/GJS directory.

To register a Generic JVM environment

From the tree hierarchy, choose Generic JVM > KM Commands > Register...
The Register Generic JVM Environment  dialog box is displayed, as shown in the following figure:

Description

Connection Details

Host/IP

Enter the host name or the IP address of a local or remote host. The IP addresses can be in the IPv4 or IPv6 format.

Note: An example of an IPv6 address is [2001:db8:28:3:f98a:5b31:67b7:67ef].

Port

Enter the JVM monitor port number.

User Name

(Optional) Enter the user name for the Generic JVM account.

Password

Enter the password for the Generic JVM account. The password is required only if you entered a Generic JVM user name.

Note: To determine whether you need to specify username and password, log into the JConsole and open the VM Summary tab. In the connection name: field, you can see if a user has been entered or not. The JConsole binary comes with the JDK installation and resides in the Tomcat bin directory.

Connection Type

Enter RMI server type. The default server type is jmxrmi.

Or, enter ARServer to monitor Remedy servers.

Warning

Note

For the KM to monitor the Remedy server, the JMX port number configured in the Remedy AR System server must match the JMX port number in the ar.cfg file. The default port number is 61500.
For details about configuring the JMX port number, see Configuring AR System server ports and RPC numbers.
