WLSDM ReadMe

Optional WLSDM Agent: There is no need to install wlsdm_agent.jar for monitoring JMX MBean Objects, WebLogic Logs and Application Response Times. $wlsdm_package/jar/wlsdm_agent.jar must be installed for back-end monitoring and remote JVM actions. It is highly recommended to install at least on one managed server

 1. copy $wlsdm_package/jar/wlsdm_agent.jar to /path/to/wlsdm_agent.jar on the managed server machine(s)

            [user@machine]$ mkdir $DOMAIN_HOME/wlsdm_agent
            [user@machine]$ cp $wlsdm_package/jar/wlsdm_agent.jar $DOMAIN_HOME/wlsdm_agent/wlsdm_agent.jar

 2. add wlsdm_agent.jar to WebLogic managed server´s JVM Arguments as below: --> *${JAVA_OPTIONS}
   (Consider above best practice architecture and add wlsdm_agent.jar for the chosen WebLogic managed server(s)...)
						
  Note: Choose appropriate option according to your WebLogic environment. Replace "/path/to" with absolute folder path and keep "WLSDM/temp/JFR" as relative path!
						
  *2.1. JRockit and JDK 1.6: Add the following WLSDM JVM parameters to WebLogic managed servers´ JVM Arguments;

      JRockit: -javaagent:/path/to/wlsdm_agent.jar -Dwlsdm.agent.logger.level=INFO -XX:FlightRecorderOptions=repository=WLSDM/temp/JFR -XX:+DisableExplicitGC

      JDK 1.6: -javaagent:/path/to/wlsdm_agent.jar -Dwlsdm.agent.logger.level=INFO -XX:+DisableExplicitGC
 
  *2.2. Lower JDK 1.7.0_40: Add the following WLSDM JVM parameters to managed servers´ JVM Arguments;

    -javaagent:/path/to/wlsdm_agent.jar -Dwlsdm.agent.logger.level=INFO -XX:+DisableExplicitGC

  *2.3. JDK 1.7.0_40 and Higher and JDK 1.8: Add the following WLSDM & JFR JVM parameters to managed servers´ JVM Arguments;

    -javaagent:/path/to/wlsdm_agent.jar -Dwlsdm.agent.logger.level=INFO -XX:+UnlockCommercialFeatures -XX:+FlightRecorder -XX:FlightRecorderOptions=repository=WLSDM/temp/JFR -XX:+DisableExplicitGC


 WebLogic AdminServer and WLSDM Agent: Do NOT install wlsdm_agent.jar to WebLogic AdminServer. Never add wlsdm_agent.jar JVM arguments to AdminServer startup scripts (startWebLogic.sh or setDomainEnv.sh) otherwise WLSDM throws ERROR and WebLogic AdminServer fails to start. Or use if statements in the scripts to bypass AdminServer JVM argument assertion. When WebLogic AdminServer fails to start then consider this case and simply remove wlsdm_agent.jar arguments from AdminServer startup script

  GC JVM Argument Info: By default calls to System.gc() are enabled (-XX:-DisableExplicitGC). WLSDM uses and recommends -XX:+DisableExplicitGC to disable calls to System.gc() for better RMI performance. Remember, with or without this parameter JVM/WebLogic still performs garbage collection when necessary. This is a useful JVM argument to keep WebLogic managed servers GC safe and also can be add to Admin Server, too. For more information: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/java/vmoptions-jsp-140102.html
	
   Known Issue-1: After the complete WLSDM installation if the "Smart Dashboards > JVM System Resources" page is not working well and does not show the metric values properly then add "-Djavax.management.builder.initial=weblogic.management.jmx.mbeanserver.WLSMBeanServerBuilder" JVM argument to the relevant Managed Server(s) and restart the server(s).
    

  How to add WLSDM JVM Parameters to WebLogic managed server arguments? (If you know how to add JVM arguments to WebLogic then skip to step 3)

 a) With WebLogic NodeManager:
    to instrument managed server instances started and stopped through the Node Manager, use the administration console

    from the administration console, navigate to "Environments > Servers > (select your server) > Server Start > Arguments"
    add the above suitable JVM entry to Arguments section and save the page:

    Environments > Servers > (select your server) > Server Start > Arguments
    
 b) Without WebLogic NodeManager:
    add the following entry (add before Java executes) to the "startManagedServer" file

 UNIX / LINUX / MAC OS X:"startManagedServer.sh"  
export JAVA_OPTIONS="$JAVA_OPTIONS -javaagent:/path/to/wlsdm_agent.jar -Dwlsdm.agent.logger.level=INFO -XX:+UnlockCommercialFeatures -XX:+FlightRecorder -XX:FlightRecorderOptions=repository=WLSDM/temp/JFR -XX:+DisableExplicitGC"
 WINDOWS:"startManagedServer.cmd"
set JAVA_OPTIONS=%JAVA_OPTIONS% -javaagent:"C:\path\to\wlsdm_agent.jar" -Dwlsdm.agent.logger.level=INFO -XX:+UnlockCommercialFeatures -XX:+FlightRecorder -XX:FlightRecorderOptions=repository=WLSDM/temp/JFR -XX:+DisableExplicitGC
 NOTE: there is no need to install "wlsdm_agent.jar" to the WebLogic Admin Server!
                        

 3. (re)start WebLogic managed server(s) which wlsdm_agent.jar is installed. after restarting managed server(s),
    below logs must be seen in managed server log files. this means WLSDM agent is deployed successfully

  ManagedServer Log:
<Mar 4, 2015 1:13:24 PM PDT> <Info> <WLSDM> <BEA-000000> <WLSDM agent loaded successfully. Version: v3.4.2>
<Mar 4, 2015 1:13:24 PM PDT> <Info> <WLSDM> <BEA-000000> <RJVM operation is bound in the registry with the name wlsdm_agent_remote_operation.>
                            

 4. copy $wlsdm_package/war/wlsdm.war to ${WEBLOGIC_DOMAIN_HOME}/console-ext/. folder on the admin server machine

 5. then (re)start WebLogic admin server. that is all, WLSDM console will deploy automatically
    after restarting admin server, below logs must be seen in admin server log files
    this means WLSDM console is deployed successfully and WLSDM console is ready to monitor WebLogic domain

  AdminServer Log:
<Mar 4, 2015 1:12:12 PM PDT> <Info> <WLSDM> <BEA-000000> <WLSDM console deployed successfully. Version: v3.4.2>
<Mar 4, 2015 1:12:12 PM PDT> <Info> <WLSDM> <BEA-000000> <WLSDM garbage collection monitoring initialized successfully.>
