Setting Up the Web Server for the Monitoring System

The web server (PIA) is installed as part of the PeopleSoft DPK installation. No additional installation procedures are required

For optional manual instructions, see the product documentation for PeopleSoft 9.2 Application Installation for your database platform.

Performance Monitor servlets are not activated unless PSPPMSRVs register with them. Agent connections to a monitor are rejected until a PSPPMSRV on the monitoring system registers.

The Performance Monitor servlets that run on the web server of the monitoring system are:

• Monitor servlet.

• PPMI servlet.

Note:

Make note of the URL of the web server for the monitoring system. On the monitored system, you need to specify the appropriate URL to which to send performance data.

Note:

If you elect to implement a production monitoring system, you should set up the monitoring system itself in self-monitoring mode so that you can detect alarm events that are generated from the monitoring web server. That is, while the monitoring system monitors one or more PeopleSoft application systems, it also monitors itself.

Note:

On the General tab of the appropriate web profile (Web Profile Configuration page), ensure that the PPM Monitor Buffer Size is not set to 0 (zero). If it is set to zero, edit the buffer size by selecting the Enable PPM Agent check box, which activates the buffer size field, set the value of the buffer size, and then deselect the Enable PPM Agent check box. On the monitoring system, PPM agents should not be enabled.

See Working with Performance Monitor Web Profile Properties.

If you need to configure multiple web servers for scalability and failover, you need to configure a cluster.

Note:

If you notice communication errors in the log files, even though the agents have registered successfully, check the keep-alive setting on the monitoring web server. The keep-alive timeout in the monitoring web server may need to be increased to 660 or higher to resolve these issues. After changing this setting, restart the web server.
