Monitoring Processes on the Access Manager Appliance

Question & Answer


Question

How do I monitor the Policy Server, Authorization Server, and Reverse Proxy processes running on the appliance?

Answer

The embedded SNMP agent can be enabled at https://appliance_hostname/snmp.

Use the Agentless Monitoring for Linux OS agent to monitor the appliance with IBM Tivoli Monitoring.

If you are using a third-party SNMP monitoring system please contact your vendor for details on how to monitor the supported MIBs.

Here is an example using snmpwalk to retrieve the process details:

snmpwalk -m ALL -v 2c -c public isam9host HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::host | grep pdacld
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunName.24160 = STRING: "pdacld"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunPath.24160 = STRING: "/opt/PolicyDirector/bin/pdacld"

snmpwalk -m ALL -v 2c -c public isam9host HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::host | grep pdmgrd
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunName.2480 = STRING: "pdmgrd"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunPath.2480 = STRING: "/opt/PolicyDirector/bin/pdmgrd"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunParameters.2476 = STRING: "ISAM-Policy-Server -log_file /var/application.logs/isam_runtime/policy_server/msg__pdmgrd.log /opt/PolicyDirector/bin/pdmgrd -fo"

snmpwalk -m ALL -v 2c -c public isam9host HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::host | grep webseald
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunName.2620 = STRING: "webseald"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunPath.2620 = STRING: "/opt/pdweb/bin/webseald"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunParameters.2610 = STRING: "wrp-watchdog-default -log_entry file path=/var/pdweb/default/log/msg__webseald-default.log,hi_water=1,flush_interval=1 -cfg /var"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunParameters.2620 = STRING: "-config etc/webseald-default.conf -foreground -noenv"

The above is for a community named "public" and an appliance with a hostname of isam9host.
