Versions 7.5 and 8.x are known to be working. Version 6.1 with JDK 5+ possibly works but agent has to be converted to JDK5 bytecode format.
Directory convention:
${was.install.root} - installation directory
${user.install.root} - instance directoryCopy agent files to ${user.install.root}/zorka directory.
If websphere server has Java 2 Security enabled, create monitoring user with Monitor role and add the following
lines to zorka.properties:
was.user = <username>
was.pass = <password>Password can be passed either as plain text or encrypted. Encrypted password strings can be generated using zorka.jar:
$ java -jar zorka.jar crypt passwd
Enter password:
Repeat password:
ENC:767d4e10474565a47a93129135a16314baba008415d12477caee611ff573dbec
After calling zorka.jar as above, copy resulting ENC:xxxxxx string to was.pass property.
Add zorka agent args to ${user.install.root}/config/cells/<cell-name>/nodes/<node-name>/servers/<server-name>/server.xml:
<jvmentries xml:id="..." ... genericJvmArguments="-javaagent:${USER_INSTALL_ROOT}/zorka/zorka.jar=${USER_INSTALL_ROOT}/zorka">Edit ${user.install.root}/properties/server.policy file and add the following section:
// Allow ZORKA agent
grant codeBase "file:${user.install.root}/zorka/-" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};Start server using ${user.install.root}/bin/startServer.sh:
# cd ${user.install.root}/bin
# ./startServer.sh <server-name>IBM management console URL: https://localhost:9043/ibm/console/
Configuration settings
WebSphere integration script implement standard HTTP/EJB monitoring, so standard options for HTTP and EJB apply. Also, consider SQL and/or LDAP monitoring if your applications use SQL database(s) or LDAP. There are no other specific settings for JBoss.
HTTP instrumentation for Tomcat can be explicitly disabled by adding http.instrument.was = no in zorka.properties.
Zabbix templates
The following zabbix templates are dedicated for WebSphere:
Template_Zorka_WebSphere_JdbcConnections.xml- monitors JDBC JCA connections;Template_Zorka_WebSphere_ThreadPools.xml- monitors server thread pools (all of them, not only HTTP handling threads);Template_Zorka_WehSphere_WebSessions.xml- monitors HTTP sessions for WebSphere server;
