To Obtain a List of Events That Provide Monitoring Data

1. Ensure that the server is running.

   Remote subcommands require a running server.

2. Ensure that monitoring is enabled for Enterprise Server.

   If monitoring for Enterprise Server is disabled, no events are listed.

   For information about how to enable monitoring for Enterprise Server, see To Enable Monitoring in Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v3 Administration Guide.

3. To include in the list events that are related to a container, ensure that the container is loaded.

   Events that are related to a container are listed only if the container is loaded. For example, to list events that are related to the JRuby container, you must ensure that the JRuby container is loaded by deploying a JRuby application in Enterprise Server.

4. Run the list-probes subcommand.

   The signatures of all events for all installed components of Enterprise Server are displayed.

   An event signature consists of the event identifier (ID) followed in parentheses by a comma-separated list of the event's parameters. Each parameter is listed as its type followed by its name.

   For detailed information about the format of an event signature, see the help page for the list-probes subcommand.
