Using the Monitoring Framework with Access Manager

By default, monitoring is enabled in Access Manager, but a limitation prevents the monitored objects from appearing in the Monitoring Console.

See Instrumentation of Access Manager for the list of objects and attributes you can monitor.

To Enable Monitoring in Access Manager

1. Temporarily disable monitoring in Access Manager with the following commands:

   cacaoadm unregister-module com.sun.cmm.am.xml cacaoadm restart

2. Open the Access Manager XML descriptor file for editing:

   vi /etc/AccessMgr-base/config/com.sun.cmm.am.xml

3. Find the lines containing:

   <param-name>Product Name</param-name> <param-value>Access Manager</param-value>

   and modify the second line to:

   <param-value>Java ES Access Manager</param-value>

   Save the file and exit the editor.

4. Register the modified XML module:

   mfwk-base/bin/mfwksetup -u /etc/AccessMgr-base/config/com.sun.cmm.am.xml mfwk-base/bin/mfwksetup -r /etc/AccessMgr-base/config/com.sun.cmm.am.xml

5. Restart the Common Agent Container:

   cacaoadm restart

Troubleshooting

Due to untested behavior with third-party web containers, monitoring is disabled by default when Access Manager is deployed in Websphere or Weblogic. You may enable monitoring as described in how To Selectively Disable and Re-Enable Monitoring, although this configuration is unsupported.
