Configuring Tomcat monitoring
You can configure the Monitoring Agent for Tomcat with the default or custom settings to monitor the resources of Tomcat application servers. The agent can be configured on Windows and Linux® systems.
Before you begin
About this task
The Tomcat agent is a multiple instance
agent; you must create the first instance and start the agent manually. The managed system name
includes the instance name that you specify, for example,
instance_name:host_name:pc,
where pc is your two character product code. The managed system name is limited
to 32 characters. The instance name that you specify is limited to 28 characters that excludes the
length of your host name. For example, if you specify TOMCAT2 as your instance
name, your managed system name is TOMCAT2:hostname:OT. If you specify a long
instance name, the managed system name is truncated, and the agent code is not displayed
completely.
To avoid permission issues when you configure the agent, be sure to use the same root user or non-root user ID that was used for installing the agent. If you installed your agent as a selected user and want to configure the agent as a different user, see Configuring agents as a non-root user. If you installed and configured your agent as a selected user and want to start the agent as a different user, see Starting agents as a non-root user.
The product version and the agent version often differ. The directions here are for the most current release of this agent. For information about how to check the version of an agent in your environment, see Agent version command. For detailed information about the agent version list and what's new for each version, see the Change history.
