IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for Application Diagnostics, Version 7.1.0.1
Configure a data collector to use the Port Consolidator - WAS agent
If you have a firewall, to avoid allocation of an excessive number of ports for multiple data collectors, configure the Port Consolidator.
- Edit...
DC_home/runtime/version.nodename.servername/custom/datacollector_custom.properties
...and add the following lines to the end of the file...
proxy.host=IP_address
This is usually the same IP address as the data collector computer, but it could be different in a multiple IP or virtual host scenario.
- Edit...
DC_home/itcamdc/etc/proxy.properties
...and specify the same IP address as the one specified in am.socket.bindip property...
proxy.port=port
Again, this is usually 8800.
- Specify the same port specified in the PROXY_PORT property in...
DC_home/itcamdc/bin/proxyserverctrl_*
Do not use the loopback address for the IP address. Use a valid IP address for the local system. proxy.port must match the port number for PROXY_PORT specified in the startup script you run in Step 4.
- Restart the application server.
- From a command prompt, move to the directory DC_home/itcamdc/bin.
- Start the Port Consolidator...
./proxyserverctrl_ws.sh start
Do not close the command prompt window.
The value for PROXY_PORT specified in the script must match the value that you specified for proxy.port in Step 1.
- Open the Self-Diagnosis page of the Visualization Engine (Application Monitor) user interface, and check to see that the following components are listed:
- COMMANDAGENTPROXY
- KERNELPROXY
- PROBECONTROLLERPROXY
- Verify that the data collector is using the Port Consolidator:
- Look for the message labeled CYND4051I in one of the following files:
Windows DC_home\logs\CYN\logs\node_name.server_name\java_msg_log_file. For example: C:\IBM\ITM\TMAITM6\wasdc\7.1.0.1\logs\CYN\logs\tivx44Node02.server1\msg-dc-ParentLast.log
UNIX and Linux DC_home/logs/CYN/logs/node_name.server_name/java_msg_log_file. For example: /opt/IBM/AD7101_0505/li6263/yn/wasdc/7.1.0.1/logs/CYN/logs/tivx44Node02.server1/msg-dc-ParentLast.log
That message includes the text Join Proxy Server and Kernel successfully.
- Run...
cd DC_home/itcamdc/bin
./proxyserverctrl_ws.sh list
You will see the data collector listed as one Service type, PPECONTROLLER. Keep this command prompt window open for future use.
- Verify the data collector connection to the Port Consolidator (again)...
./proxyserverctrl_ws.sh list
You will now see the data collector listed as two Service types...
- PPECONTROLLER
- PPEPROBE
The data collector is configured to use the Port Consolidator.
