Monitoring Application Servers, Collaborations, and Alerts (Command Line)

The Enterprise Manager command-line client enables you to monitor application servers, Collaborations, and alerts. The Enterprise Manager command-line client is located in the JavaCAPS-install-dir/emanager/em-client directory.

The Enterprise Manager command-line client provides two monitoring services:

• The runtime service enables you to monitor application servers and Collaborations.

• The alert service enables you to monitor alerts.

The computer on which you run the command-line client must have Java 1.4.2 or later installed. In addition, the path variable must include an entry for the Java installation’s bin directory.

If you are running UNIX, then use the em-cmdline-client.sh script.

If you are running Windows, then use the em-cmdline-client.bat script.

Enterprise Manager Command-Line Client Syntax

The syntax of the Enterprise Manager command-line client is:

em-cmdline-client -l hostname -p port -u username -w password -s service 
-m method -Pparameter=value

The following table describes the arguments.

Table 6 Enterprise Manager Command-Line Client Arguments

You use the following arguments to connect to the Enterprise Manager server: -l, -p, -u, and -w.

Monitoring Application Servers and Collaborations (Command Line)

You can monitor application servers and Collaborations by using the runtime service of the Enterprise Manager command-line client.

Before you begin, ensure that the Enterprise Manager server is running.

Set the -s argument to RuntimeService51x. Set the -m argument to the desired method. For each parameter, set the -P argument to the name and value.

Listing the Available Methods For the Runtime Service

You can display a list of the available methods for the runtime service by using the -n argument. For example:

em-cmdline-client -l entmgrhost -p 15000 -u Administrator -w STC
-s RuntimeService51x -n

 Note: the order of the parameters is important.
 Available methods and parameters:

-m getState -Pcomponent=<component> -PcomponentType=<componentType>
-m startComponent -Pcomponent=<component> -PcomponentType=<componentType>
-m getComponentsList
-m stopComponent -Pcomponent=<component> -PcomponentType=<componentType>
-m getStatus -Pcomponent=<component> -PcomponentType=<componentType>

Displaying the List of Components

The methods of the runtime service require you to specify the component path and component type. The getComponentsList method enables you to obtain this information. For example:

em-cmdline-client -l entmgrhost -p 15000 -u Administrator -w STC
-s RuntimeService51x
-m getComponentsList

Displaying the Current State

The getState method enables you to display the current state of an application server or Collaboration, as well as a JMS IQ Manager. You must specify the following parameters: the component path and the component type. For example:

em-cmdline-client -l entmgrhost -p 15000 -u Administrator -w STC
-s RuntimeService51x
-m getState
-Pcomponent="e51x|Servers|myserver:4848"
-PcomponentType=is51x

Up

Viewing Basic Information

The getStatus method enables you to view basic information for an application server or Collaboration. You must specify the following parameters: the component path and the component type. For example:

em-cmdline-client -l entmgrhost -p 15000 -u Administrator -w STC
-s RuntimeService51x
-m getStatus
-Pcomponent="e51x|Servers|myserver:4848"
-PcomponentType=is51x

HostAndPort = myserver:4848
Component = e51x|Servers|myserver:4848
System = e51x
RestartRequired = true

Starting and Stopping Collaborations

The startComponent method enables you to start a Collaboration. You must specify the following parameters: the component path and the component type. For example:

em-cmdline-client -l entmgrhost -p 15000 -u Administrator -w STC
-s RuntimeService51x
-m startComponent
-Pcomponent="e51x|Servers|myserver:4848|Project1|Deployment1|CMap1|Service1"
-PcomponentType=jce.JavaCollaborationDefinition

The stopComponent method enables you to stop an application server domain, an application server instance, or a Collaboration. You must specify the following parameters: the component path and the component type. For example:

em-cmdline-client -l entmgrhost -p 15000 -u Administrator -w STC
-s RuntimeService51x
-m stopComponent
-Pcomponent="e51x|Servers|myserver:4848|Project1|Deployment1|CMap1|Service1"
-PcomponentType=jce.JavaCollaborationDefinition

The command line does not provide feedback to indicate that the method succeeded. However, you can verify whether the component is up or down by using the getState method.

Monitoring Alerts (Command Line)

You can monitor alerts by using the alert service of the Enterprise Manager command-line client.

Before you begin, ensure that the Enterprise Manager server is running.

Set the -s argument to AlertService51x. Set the -m argument to the desired method.

Listing the Available Methods For the Alert Service

You can display a list of the available methods for the alert service by using the -n argument. For example:

em-cmdline-client -l entmgrhost -p 15000 -u Administrator -w STC
-s AlertService51x -n

Note: the order of the parameters is important.
Available methods and parameters:

-m deleteAlerts -Pfilter=<filter>
-m getAllAlerts
-m observeAlerts -Pfilter=<filter>
-m resolveAlerts -Pfilter=<filter>
-m resolveAllAlerts
-m deleteAllAlerts
-m observeAllAlerts
-m getAlertQueryFields
-m getAlerts -Pfilter=<filter>
-m resetAlerts -Pfilter=<filter>
-m resetAllAlerts

Listing the Query Fields

The getAlertQueryFields method enables you to list the filters that you can use for the other methods. For example:

em-cmdline-client -l entmgrhost -p 15000 -u Administrator -w STC
-s AlertService51x
-m getAlertQueryFields

Viewing Alerts

The getAlerts method enables you to display all of the alerts for the specified components. You can display a subset of the alerts by including one or more filters. The following example specifies two filters:

em-cmdline-client -l entmgrhost -p 15000 -u Administrator -w STC
-s AlertService51x
-m getAlerts
-Pfilter=componentProjectPathName=Project1;environmentName=Environment1

The getAllAlerts method enables you to display all of the alerts.

Changing the Status of Alerts

The initial status of an alert is Unobserved. You can change the status to Observed or Resolved. Observed means that you looked at and acknowledged the alert. Resolved means that you fixed the problem that caused the alert.

The observeAlerts method enables you to change the status of an alert to Observed.

em-cmdline-client -l entmgrhost -p 15000 -u Administrator -w STC
-s AlertService51x
-m observeAlerts
-Pfilter=componentProjectPathName=Project1;environmentName=Environment1

The observeAllAlerts method enables you to change the status of all alerts to Observed.

The resolveAlerts method enables you to change the status of an alert to Resolved.

em-cmdline-client -l entmgrhost -p 15000 -u Administrator -w STC
-s AlertService51x
-m resolveAlerts
-Pfilter=componentProjectPathName=Project1;environmentName=Environment1

The resolveAllAlerts method enables you to change the status of all alerts to Resolved.

The resetAlerts method enables you to change the status of an alert to the initial value (Unobserved).

em-cmdline-client -l entmgrhost -p 15000 -u Administrator -w STC
-s AlertService51x
-m resetAlerts
-Pfilter=componentProjectPathName=Project1;environmentName=Environment1

The resetAllAlerts method enables you to change the status of all alerts to the initial value (Unobserved).

Deleting Alerts

The deleteAlerts method enables you to delete alerts.

em-cmdline-client -l entmgrhost -p 15000 -u Administrator -w STC
-s AlertService51x
-m deleteAlerts
-Pfilter=componentProjectPathName=Project1;environmentName=Environment1

The deleteAllAlerts method enables you to delete all alerts.
