ManageEngine® Applications Manager Services | ||
Applications Manager supports monitoring of the following services to check their status:
To create a MX4J RMI Connector Monitor, follow the given steps:
Click on New Monitor link. Choose JMX Applications.
Enter the IP Address or hostname of the host in which the Monitor is running.
Enter the SubNetMask of the network.
Provide the port number in which RMI Adapter is running. Also, you can provide multiple ports separated by commas.
You can enter your own credential details or select preconfigured credentials details in Credentials Manager. If you wish to enter your own credentials, specify username and password details for this monitor.
Enter the JNDI name. For example, /jmxconnector.
To enable customized JMX URL, check the Enable JMX URL checkbox and enter the JMX URL. ( The URL should be of the format service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://HOST:PORT/jmxrmi. For example, a jboss customized jmx URL can be - service:jmx:remoting-jmx://HOST:PORT and a websphere customized jmx URL - service:jmx:wsrmi://HOST:PORT/)
If Authentication is enabled, enter the Username and password.
Enter the polling interval time in minutes.
If you are adding a new monitor from an Admin Server, select a Managed Server.
Choose the Monitor Group from the combo box to which you want to associate the Monitor (optional). You can choose multiple groups to associate your monitor.
Click Add Monitor(s). This discovers the Monitor from the network and starts monitoring them. Refer the Prerequisites Section for configuration details.
To create a Ping monitor, follow the steps given below:
Click on New Monitor link. Choose Ping Monitor under 'Services' category.
Provide Host Name / IP Address.
Enter the Timeout value for the monitor in seconds.
Specify the Polling Interval for the monitor in minutes.
If you are adding a new monitor from an Admin Server, select a Managed Server.
Select the Monitor Group with which you want to associate the monitor to, from the combo box (optional). You can choose multiple groups to associate your monitor.
Associate the monitor instance to the agent.
Enable Run on Server option to run the ping monitor in the local instance of Applications Manager.
Enable Run on Agent option to run the ping monitor from multiple locations. Select the necessary agents from where you want this monitor to be executed. This option will be available only if you enable the EUM add-on.
Click Add Monitor(s). This adds the ping monitor and the monitoring will be started as per the polling interval configured.
Note: In some cases, AppManager may not provide the expected metrics output due to incorrect responses for non-English OS. To get the expected output, regex support is available for Ping Monitor. The user needs to customize the output in a property file based on the language. The user can define ping response for metrics like Packet Stats and Round Trip Time for different languages. Create a properties files called ping.properties and place it under AppManager/conf directrory (or under the EUMAgent/conf in case of Agent based Ping monitor). The user can understand the response pattern of the ping request and he can customize it by using the same patterns as in the properties file. This is a sample Italian ping.properties file:
################################ Windows properties #####################################
#Windows Status poll matcher String.
#Windows ResponseTime String. Ex: Minimum or Maximum or Average.
#Windows Packet Sent matcher String.
#Windows Packet Received matcher String.
#Windows Packet Loss matcher String(case sensitive). |
To create a Service Monitoring Monitor, follow the steps given below:
Click on New Monitor link. Choose Service Monitoring.
Enter the IP Address or hostname in which the Monitor is running.
Enter the SubNetMask of the network.
Enter the port number in which the service you want to monitor is running.
Enter the polling interval time in minutes.
If you are adding a new monitor from an Admin Server, select a Managed Server.
Enter the command that will be executed after connecting to the port mentioned above. For example, if the port added is where your web server is running , then you can give the command as GET / HTTP1.0 . This will get the index page of the web server.
Enter the string that has to be searched after executing the command.
Choose the Monitor Group from the combo box with which you want to associate Service Monitoring Monitor (optional). You can choose multiple groups to associate your monitor.

Choose SNMP version V1/V2c or V3.
To associate Monitor Instance to Monitor Group you select a monitor group from the default list or make a new monitor group by clicking "Create New Monitor Group".
For SNMP Version V1/V2c:
Enter the Community String ('public' by default).
To test the validity of the credentials entered for a particular host name click on 'Test Credentials'.
For SNMP Version V3:
Select one of the three Security Levels in the drop-down list:
NoAuthNoPriv - Messages can be sent unauthenticated and unencrypted. Enter a UserName and Context Name.
AuthNoPriv - Messages can be sent authenticated but unencrypted. Enter a UserName, Context Name and an
Authentication Password. You can select an Authentication Protocol like MD5 or SHA from the drop-down list.
AuthPriv - Messages can be sent authenticated and encrypted. Enter a UserName, Context Name,an Authentication Password and a Privacy Password. You can select an Authentication Protocol like MD5 or SHA from the drop-down list. By default 'DES' encryption technique will be used.
Note: SMUX (tcp 199 port) is the snmp multiplexing protocol (RFC 1227). It can be used by an snmp agent to query variables maintained by another user-level process. For monitoring user-processes like kernel related details using the SNMP agent, you must install SMUX and register the mibs. If SMUX is implemented, by default, tcp port 199 should be open for connection. |
