Monitoring Individual EJB Components

To gather method invocation statistics for all methods in a bean, use this command:

asadmin get -m monitorableObject.*

where monitorableObject is a fully-qualified identifier from the hierarchy of objects that can be monitored, shown below.

serverInstance.application.applicationName.ejb-module.moduleName

where moduleName is x_jar for module x.jar.

• .stateless-session-bean.beanName .bean-pool .bean-method.methodName

• .stateful-session-bean.beanName .bean-cache .bean-method.methodName

• .entity-bean.beanName .bean-cache .bean-pool .bean-method.methodName

• .message-driven-bean.beanName .bean-pool .bean-method.methodName (methodName = onMessage)

For standalone beans, use this pattern:

serverInstance.application.applicationName.standalone-ejb-module.moduleName

The possible identifiers are the same as for ejb-module.

For example, to get statistics for a method in an entity bean, use this command:

asadmin get -m serverInstance.application.appName.ejb-module.moduleName
.entity-bean.beanName.bean-method.methodName.*

To find the possible objects (applications, modules, beans, and methods) and object attributes that can be monitored, use the Admin Console. For more information, see Chapter 16, Monitoring Components and Services, in Sun Java System Application Server Enterprise Edition 8.2 Administration Guide. Alternatively, use the asadmin list command. For more information, see list(1).

For statistics on stateful session bean passivations, use this command:

asadmin get -m serverInstance.application.appName.ejb-module.moduleName
.stateful-session-bean.beanName.bean-cache.*

From the attribute values that are returned, use this command:

num-passivationsnum-passivation-errorsnum-passivation-success
