The following sections describe the contents and audience for this guide— Using the WebLogic Diagnostic Framework Console Extension:
The WebLogic Diagnostic Framework (WLDF) Console Extension is a part of the WebLogic Diagnostic Framework that provides views and tools for graphically presenting diagnostic data about servers and applications running on them. The underlying functionality for generating, retrieving, and persisting diagnostic data is provided by the WLDF framework, and the WLDF Console Extension provides additional tools for presenting that data in tables, charts, and graphs.
The WLDF Console Extension is implemented as an extension to the BEA WebLogic Server® Administration Console, using the WebLogic Server Console Extension architecture (see Extending the Administration Console).
The WLDF Console Extension is included with WebLogic Server 9.2, but you must install it manually. See Installing and Displaying the WLDF Console Extension.
This document describes WLDF Console Extension features and installation procedures. It is written for system administrators or anyone who wants to view graphic representations of diagnostic data for WebLogic Server instances and applications deployed to them.
It is assumed that readers are familiar with Web technologies and the operating system and platform where WebLogic Server is installed.
This document is organized as follows:
The following features are new to the WLDF Console Extension in this release.
You can define custom metrics on an MBean type. Once defined, a custom metric attribute for an MBean instance can be graphed just like other attributes. See Creating Custom Metrics.
You can cut, copy, and paste graphs and charts. This gives you more flexibility in how you organize graphs and charts and allows you to copy and move graphs and charts from one view to another. See Arranging Charts and Graphs in Views and Keyboard Reference.
The WLDF Console Extension has new icons, plus various improvements to the visual tools, such as additional functionality available in the context menus.
On the Global Properties tab, you can now set a default viewport size (the time interval displayed in a chart) and a default zoom percentage for zooming in or out of a chart (thereby changing the viewport size). See Setting Global Properties.
