Before you begin this procedure, perform one of the following steps:
- Specify the appropriate MBeans for monitoring.
- Run an Easy JMX or custom
query to identify MBeans of interest.
-
Open the
JMX Data Source Browser.
-
Choose the attributes to monitor in the
Beans text box.
Note: Select multiple beans by pressing
Shift or
Ctrl.
Note: Certain MBeans like those based on JSR-77 might contain
complex attributes that consist of several submeasures or statistics. To a
certain depth of recursiveness, you can select submeasures to be monitored.
-
Right-click the selected attributes and choose
Add As.
A submenu opens.
-
Choose one of the following options for monitoring the attribute values:
- Average –
Useful for count values. By default, this option is selected.
- Sum – Same
as Average, but shows a different label in the monitor GUI.
-
Incremental – Useful for rising values.
Instead of the attribute value, the change of the value within a monitor
interval is calculated.
-
Click
Close.
The
Select displayed measures page opens.
-
Optional: Select an MBean and click
Add.
Performance Explorer adds all visible attributes of an MBean as a data source.
-
Check the check boxes for those measures that you want to include in the initial monitor view and then click
Finish.
A connection to the specified host is established, and an initial view that contains the measures you selected is displayed.
