Filtering Resource MBeans

By default, each Waveset resource has a corresponding JMX MBean that captures the operational statistics of Waveset's interaction with that resource. When an installation has a lot of resources, this may be too much of a good thing, so there is a way to exclude resources and particular operations on resources.

To disable JMX from reporting on different resources or operations on resources follow these steps:

1. Log in to the Waveset admin console.

2. Select the Configuration tab.

3. Select the Servers subtab.

4. Click the Edit Default Server Settings button.

5. Select the JMX tab.

   This page contains two text fields:

   • Use the top field to exclude one or more resources from being monitored by JMX.

     To exclude a resource from JMX monitoring, you must provide a Java regular expression that matches the resource to be excluded. The pattern being compared is in the following form:

     <resource type>:<resource version>:<resource name>

     For example, a regular expression of Database Table:*:Oracle* excludes all resources with a name that starts with Oracle.

   • Use the bottom field to exclude one or more operations (on a set of resources) from being monitored by JMX. To exclude a specific operation from being monitored, you must provide a Java regular expression that matches the operation to be excluded. Operation names are in the following form:

     ACCOUNT_<Operation>

     OBJECT_<Operation>

     ACTION_<Operation>

   The regular expression patterns must match those names. For example:

   • To exclude all operations for non-account objects, enter

     ^OBJECT.*

   • To exclude updates and deletes, enter

     .*UPDATE$

     .*DELETE$

   JMX can monitor these operations:

   ACCOUNT_CREATE ACCOUNT_UPDATE ACCOUNT_DELETE ACCOUNT_GET ACCOUNT_AUTHENTICATE OBJECT_CREATE OBJECT_UPDATE OBJECT_DELETE OBJECT_GET OBJECT_LIST ACTION_RUN
