SNMP Gauge Monitors: General

Configuration Options     Related Tasks     Related Topics

Use this page to configure a gauge monitor, which periodically checks the value of an integer or floating-point attribute and generates a notification if the value equals or exceeds a threshold.

Configuration Options

Name Description
Name

The name of this gauge monitor.

Each monitor within a domain must have a unique name.

The name displays in the Administration Console, and if you use WebLogic Server command-line utilities or APIs, you use this name to identify the gauge monitor.

After you have created a gauge monitor, you cannot change its name. Instead, clone the gauge monitor and provide a new name for the clone.

MBean Attribute:
SNMPGaugeMonitorMBean.Name

Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server.

Monitored MBean Type

The MBean type that defines the attribute you want to monitor. Do not include the MBean suffix. For example, ServerRuntime.

MBean Attribute:
SNMPGaugeMonitorMBean.MonitoredMBeanType

Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server.

Monitored MBean Name

The name of the MBean instance that you want to monitor. If you leave the name undefined, WebLogic Server monitors all instances of the MBean type that you specify in Monitored MBean Type.

If you target SNMP agents to individual Managed Servers, make sure that the MBean instance you specify is active on the Managed Servers you have targeted. For example, if you specify MServer1 as the name of a ServerRuntimeMBean instance, this monitor will only function if you target an SNMP agent either to the Administration Server or to a Managed Server named MServer1.

Do not enter the full JMX object name of the MBean instance. Instead, enter only the value of the object name's Name=name name-value pair. To create unique MBean object names, WebLogic Server encodes several name-value pairs into each object name. One of these pairs is Name=name. For example:
"MedRec:Name=MedRecServer,
Type=ServerRuntime"

In the previous example, specify MedRecServer as the name of the MBean instance.

MBean Attribute:
SNMPGaugeMonitorMBean.MonitoredMBeanName

Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server.

User Entered MBean Name

The short name of an MBean instance. Requires you to select User Entered MBean Name in the Monitored MBean Name list.

Enter a name in this field if you want to monitor an MBean instance that is not currently active.

You provide the short name for an MBean when you create the associated resource.

Monitored Attribute Name

The name of an MBean attribute to monitor. This attribute must be in the WebLogic Server MIB.

MBean Attribute:
SNMPGaugeMonitorMBean.MonitoredAttributeName

Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server.

Polling Interval

The frequency (in seconds) that WebLogic Server checks the attribute value.

MBean Attribute:
SNMPGaugeMonitorMBean.PollingInterval

Minimum value: 1

Maximum value: 65535

Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server.

Threshold High

The high threshold at which a notification should be generated. A notification is generated the first time the monitored value is equal to or greater than this value.

Subsequent crossings of the high threshold value do not cause additional notifications unless the attribute value becomes equal to or less than the low threshold value.

MBean Attribute:
SNMPGaugeMonitorMBean.ThresholdHigh

Threshold Low

The low threshold at which a notification should be generated. A notification is generated the first time the monitored value is less than or equal to this value.

Subsequent crossings of the low threshold value do not cause additional notifications unless the attribute value becomes equal to or greater than the high threshold value.

MBean Attribute:
SNMPGaugeMonitorMBean.ThresholdLow
