JEUS Server Status Test

This test auto-discovers all the instances of the JEUS server and reports the current running status of each server instance. In the process, this test also helps administrators to instantly identify the server instance that needs to be restarted. Using this test, administrators can find out the server instances that are currently down, and can restart the server instances (if needed) before anything untoward happens.

Target of the test : A JEUS Web Application Server

Agent deploying the test : An internal agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for each server instance on the target server.

Configurable parameters for the test
Parameter	Description
Test period	How often should the test be executed.
Host	The host for which the test is to be configured.
Port	The port at which the specified host listens. By default, this is 9736.
Username and Password	To enable the eG agent to communicate and continuously monitor the target JEUS server, the eG agent should be configured with the credentials of the admin user on the server. In highly-secure environments, administrators may not want to expose the credentials of the user possessing administrator privileges. In such environments, for monitoring the JEUS application server, administrators have an option to create a new user on the JEUS server and assign administrator privilege to that user. The steps to create a new user with administrator privilege are explained in Creating a User with Administrator Privileges topic. This user should also be granted permission to access the JNDI objects on the server such that the eG agent can pull out performance metrics from the target server. To know how to grant permission to access the resources, refer to Granting the Administrator Role access to JNDI Binding Objects topic.
Confirm Password	Confirm the Password by retyping it here.
Listener Port	To collect metrics from the target server, the eG agent should be configured to use JMX to connect to the JRE used by the target server and pull out the performance metrics. By default, JMX support is enabled for the JRE used by the target server. The JMX connector listens on port 9736, by default. Therefore, type 9736 as the Listener Port. However, if the host is configured with multiple sever instances, then you should specify the port number at which the JMX listens in your environment. Ensure that you specify the same port that you configured while creating the listener (if required) using the JEUS WebAdmin Console. To know the details on the listener port, refer to Enabling JMX Support for the JEUS Web Application Server topic.
Export name	The export name is the reference name of the RMI connector that is to be used as a JMX connector. The procedure to obtain the export name is detailed inEnabling JMX Support for the JEUS Web Application Server topic. Specify the name of the export against this parameter.
Server name	Provide the name of the sever instance that is being monitored in the Server Name text box. Also, ensure that the JVM monitoring is enabled for the target server. To obtain the name of the server instance, refer to Enabling JMX Support for the JEUS Web Application Server topic.
Detailed Diagnosis	To make diagnosis more efficient and accurate, the eG Enterprise embeds an optional detailed diagnostic capability. With this capability, the eG agents can be configured to run detailed, more elaborate tests as and when specific problems are detected. To enable the detailed diagnosis capability of this test for a particular server, choose the On option. To disable the capability, click on the Off option. The option to selectively enable/disable the detailed diagnosis capability will be available only if the following conditions are fulfilled: The eG manager license should allow the detailed diagnosis capability Both the normal and abnormal frequencies configured for the detailed diagnosis measures should not be 0.

Measurements made by the test

Measurement

Description

Measurement Unit

Interpretation

Is running?

Indicates whether/not this server instance is currently running.

The values reported by this measure and its numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:

Measure Value	Numeric Value
Yes	0
No	1

Note:

By default, this measure reports the current status of each server instance. The graph of this measure however, is represented using the numeric equivalents only - 0 or 1.

The detailed diagnosis of this measure reveals the PID and name of the server instance, the name of the cluster (if the server instance is a member of a cluster), the time stamp at which the server was started, the port at which the server instance is listening, and the engines that are currently running on the server instance.

Need to restart?

Indicates whether/not this server instance needs to be restarted.

The values reported by this measure and its numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:

Measure Value	Numeric Value
Yes	1
No	0

Note:

By default, this measure reports whether the server instance needs to be restarted or not. The graph of this measure however, is represented using the numeric equivalents only - 0 or 1.

To identify the details on the server instances in your environment, use the detailed diagnosis of the Is running? measure.
