The following sections describe and provide examples of using WLST and JMX to interact with WLDF components:
For information about running WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST) scripts, see "Running WLST from Ant" in Understanding the WebLogic Scripting Tool. For information about developing JMX applications, see Developing Manageable Applications Using JMX for Oracle WebLogic Server.
WLST includes the following commands for retrieving diagnostic data and managing diagnostic system resources:
Table D-1 WLST Commands Used with WLDF
Command | Summary |
---|---|
captureAndSaveDiagnosticImage |
Captures a diagnostics image and downloads it locally. |
createSystemResourceControl |
Creates a diagnostics system resource control using specified descriptor file that is not persisted in the domain configuration. For an example, see Using WLST to Activate and Deactivate Diagnostic System Modules. |
destroySystemResourceControl |
Destroys an external diagnostics system resource control; that is, one that is created in a server or cluster instance but that is not persisted in the domain configuration. For an example, see Using WLST to Activate and Deactivate Diagnostic System Modules |
disableSystemResource |
Deactivates a diagnostic system resource control that is persisted in the domain configuration. For an example, see Using WLST to Activate and Deactivate Diagnostic System Modules |
dumpDiagnosticData |
Dumps the diagnostics data from a harvester to a local file. |
enableSystemResource |
Activates a diagnostic resource control. For an example, see Using WLST to Activate and Deactivate Diagnostic System Modules |
exportDiagnosticData |
Execute a query against the specified log file. |
exportDiagnosticDataFromServer |
Executes a query on the server side and retrieves the exported WLDF data. |
getAvailableCapturedImages |
Returns a list of the previously captured diagnostic images. |
listSystemResourceControls |
Lists the diagnostic system modules that are currently configured in the domain. For an example, see Using WLST to Activate and Deactivate Diagnostic System Modules |
saveDiagnosticImageCaptureFile |
Downloads the specified diagnostic image capture. |
saveDiagnosticImageCaptureEntryFile |
Downloads a specific entry from the diagnostic image capture. |
For complete details about each of these commands, including additional examples, see "Diagnostics Commands" in WLST Command Reference for WebLogic Server.
This demonstration script (see Example D-1) shows how to use WLST to create a DyeInjection monitor dynamically. This script:
Connects to a server (boots the server first if necessary).
Looks up or creates a WLDF System Resource.
Creates the DyeInjection monitor.
Sets the dye criteria.
Enables the monitor.
Saves and activates the configuration.
Enables the Diagnostic Context feature via the ServerDiagnosticConfigMBean.
The demonstration script in Example D-1 only configures the dye monitor, which injects dye values into the diagnostic context. To trigger events, you must implement downstream diagnostic monitors that use dye filtering to trigger on the specified dye criteria. An example downstream monitor artifact is shown in Example D-2. This must be placed in a file named weblogic-diagnostics.xml
and placed into the META-INF
directory of a application archive. It is also possible to create a monitor using a JSR-88 deployment plan. For more information about deploying applications, see Deploying Applications to Oracle WebLogic Server.

This demonstration script (see Example D-3) shows how to use WLST to configure a watch and a JMX notification using the WLDF Watch and Notification component. This script:
Connects to a server and boots the server first if necessary.
Looks up/creates a WLDF system resource.
Creates a watch and watch rule on the ServerRuntimeMBean for the OpenSocketsCurrentCount attribute.
Configures the watch to use a JMXNotification medium.
This script can be used in conjunction with the following files and scripts:
The JMXWatchNotificationListener.java class (see Example: Writing a JMXWatchNotificationListener Class).
The demoHarvester.py script, which registers the OpenSocketsCurrentCount attribute with the harvester for collection (see Example: Registering MBeans and Attributes For Harvesting).
To see these files work together, perform the following steps:
To run the watch configuration script (demoWatch.py), type:
java weblogic.WLST demoWatch.py
To compile the JMXWatchNotificationListener.java source, type:
javac JMXWatchNotificationListener.java
To run the JMXWatchNotificationListener.class file, type:
java JMXWatchNotificationListener
Note:
Be sure the current directory is in your class path, so it will find the class file you just created.To run the demoHarvester.py script, type:
java weblogic.WLST demoHarvester.py
When the demoHarvester.py script runs, it triggers the JMXNotification for the watch configured in step 1.

By default, WLDF gathers data and record most events in a WebLogic Server instance, unless specifically configured otherwise. Note that even when WLDF diagnostic volume is set to Off
, WLDF, and potentially the JVM if flight recording is enabled, generate global events that have information about the recording settings; for example, JVM metadata events that list active recordings, and WLDF GlobalInformationEvents that list the volume level for the domain, server, and machine.
Example D-6 shows changing the WLDF Diagnostic Volume to Medium
:
The diagnostic image capture can be created for a WebLogic Server instance in any of the following ways:
WebLogic Server Administration Console
WLST script
Image notification by means of the Watch and Notification component
Note:
If WebLogic Server is running in production mode, the server's SSL port must be used when executing the commands included in this script.Example D-7 show a sample WLST script that captures a diagnostic image. This example does the following:
Captures an diagnostic image after connecting, and then waits for the image task to complete.
Uses the getAvailableCapturedImages()
command to obtain a list of available diagnostic image files in the server's image directory.
Loops through the list of available images in the diagnostic image capture and saves each image file locally using the saveDiagnosticImageCaptureFile()
command.

The following example shows retrieving the Java Flight Recorder (JFR) file from each diagnostic image capture located in the image destination directory on the server and copying it to a local directory. This example script does the following:
Connects to WebLogic Server, passing the required credentials.
Creates a diagnostic image capture.
Obtains a list of the available diagnostic image files in the server's configured image directory.
For each diagnostic image file, attempts to retrieve the JFR file and save it to a local directory, ensuring that each file is renamed as necessary to avoid any from being overwritten.
