Configuring a metrics client

You can configure a metrics client for monitoring either during the initial configuration of your instance, or after an instance has already been configured.

  • To configure the metrics client during the initial setup of your system, after selecting Metrics Client in the Optional Servers field of the Add-OA-Server-Configuration-dialog-box, the OA Server Configuration for Metrics Client dialog box appears. Proceed with Step 5 below.
  • To add a metrics client for monitoring after your instance has been configured, perform the following procedure.

Before you begin

If you want to monitor a remote tier environment from a standalone BMC PATROL Agent and the metrics client resides on the same host with a remote database server or remote application server, you must first perform the configuration of the remote tier, as described in Configuring-a-remote-tier-environment.

To configure a metrics client

  1. From the Oracle_Apps MainMap hostName menu, select OA Configuration.
    The KM-Configuration-for-Oracle-Applications-dialog-box appears, listing the application IDs that have been configured.
  2. Select the Application ID you want to change, select Modify KM Configuration, and click Accept.
    The Modify-OA-Server-Configuration-dialog-box appears.
  3. In the OA Password field, type the password for the Oracle Applications database account
  4. From the Optional Server field, select the Metrics Client check box.
  5. Click Accept.
    The Configure Middle-Tier Servers dialog box appears.
  6. Select the middle-tier server ID you want to change, select Add, and click Accept.
    The Add OA Server Configuration – Metrics Client Information dialog box appears.
  7. From the PATROL Agents Run On list, select the server host on which the metrics client resides. If more than one option is available, select the host and port number running a BMC Patrol Agent, with the UNIX KM monitoring the middle tier server that you want to configure.
  8. In the Server to Client Port field, type the port number that the metrics client listens to on the metrics client computer.
    If you want to configure the metrics client using a server host that does not appear on the list, do not select a server host, but fill in the other fields.
  9. In the Client to Server Port field, type the port number on which the Metrics Server listens for connections from the Metrics Client (only for versions 10.7 and 11.0.x).
  10. In the Metrics Server Host Name field, type the server host on which the metrics client resides.
  11. Click Accept.
    If you did not select a server host, the Add Middle-Tier Server Host dialog box appears.
  12. Enter the server host information into the appropriate fields, and click Accept.
    The metrics client is configured for monitoring.
