Create a diagnostic system module using a built-in for a template


Using a built-in diagnostic system module as a template provides a simple, quick, and efficient way to create a diagnostic system module. You select the particular built-in module you want to use as a template, then change the configuration of the built-in module as desired. For example, you can delete or add collected metrics, and policies and actions, or you can add diagnostic monitors.

Note: The policies and actions pre-configured in each built-in diagnostic system module are disabled in the built-ins themselves. However, when you create a diagnostic system module using a built-in as a template, these policies and actions are enabled by default. You can reconfigure, delete, or add and configure new policies and actions as desired.

To create a diagnostic system module using a built-in module for a template:

  1. In the left pane, select Diagnostics > Diagnostics Modules.
  2. In the Diagnostic System Modules table, click New.
  3. In the Create a Diagnostics System Module page:
    1. Enter a name and description of the diagnostic system module you are creating.
    2. Select Use a built-in WLDF system resource as template.
    3. In the drop-down box next to Built-in WLDF System Module, select one of the three built-in diagnostic system modules available to clone: Low, Medium, or High.
    4. Click OK.

    In the Summary of Diagnostic Modules page, the diagnostic system module you are creating from a cloned built-in system module is displayed in the Diagnostic System Modules table.

  4. In the Diagnostic System Modules table, click the name of the diagnostic system module you are creating.

    The Configuration > General tab of the Settings for [Module Name] page is displayed.

  5. Set one or both of the following options:
    • To enable or disable all metric collection for this module, select or deselect the Enabled checkbox.
    • To set the period between samples, enter the period (in milliseconds) in Sampling Period.
  6. Using the Collected Metrics in this Module table, modify the collected metrics for this system module using either or both of the following options:
  7. To change the policies and actions that are pre-configured for the built-in system module, select Configuration > Policies and Actions, and do one or more of the following as appropriate:
  8. To configure instrumentation, select Configuration > Instrumentation tab. For more instructions, see Configure instrumentation for a diagnostic system module.
  9. Click Save.
  10. To target the module to a server or cluster, select Targets on the Settings for [Module Name] page. For more instructions, see Target and untarget diagnostic system modules.
  11. To dynamically activate the module without requiring a server restart, select Control on the Settings for [Module Name] page. For more instructions, see Dynamically activate a diagnostic system module.
