Note:

In the current release of WebLogic Server, RESTful Management Services support only the GET HTTP method because they are strictly limited to WebLogic Server monitoring.

Document Scope and Audience

WebLogic Server provides RESTful Management Services that enable you to monitor WebLogic Server outside of the Oracle Public Cloud Management Console. This document describes how to use the RESTful Management Services.

It is assumed that the reader is familiar with Java EE and general application management concepts. This document emphasizes a hands-on approach to developing a limited but useful set of RESTful monitoring services.

• Chapter 1, "Introduction and Roadmap," provides a roadmap for this guide and describes the audience for this guide.

• Chapter 2, "Using RESTful Management Services,"provides an overview of using the RESTful Management Service with WebLogic Server. This chapter also describes how to enable the RESTful Management Service in WebLogic Server, the formatting and usage of HTTP URLs, and the supported REST resources when monitoring WebLogic Server with RESTful Management Services.
