Use the rt-agent interactive configuration command or IBM® Cloud Application Performance Management utility to configure or reconfigure the
agent.
Before you begin
If
you are enabling HTTPS transaction monitoring, make sure that the Monitoring Agent for HTTP Server is not installed on the same machine.
Otherwise the Response Time Monitoring configuration does not change the
HTTPS setting for Packet Analyzer.
About this task
The Response Time Monitoring agent is configured automatically following
installation. Follow the installation guidelines: Planning the installation. You might need to reconfigure, for example,
if you want to monitor a different port or monitor HTTPS transactions.
The installation directory is referred to as install_dir. The default installation directory
is: C:\IBM\APM\
As
an alternative to using the rt-agent interactive configuration command, you can
configure the agent in the IBM Cloud Application Performance Management utility. For more
information, see Using the IBM Cloud Application Performance Management window on Windows systems.
Procedure
To customize your data settings, complete the following steps:
-
On the computer where the Response Time Monitoring agent is installed,
stop the agent:
install_dir\BIN\rt-agent.bat
stop
-
Use silent configuration to configure the agent:
install_dir\BIN\rt-agent.bat config install_dir\samples\rt_silent_config.txt
If
you want to enable HTTPS transaction monitoring, uncomment the following lines in the silent
configuration file. The sample of
rt_silent_config.txt to configure the
Response Time Monitoring agent to monitor HTTPS on Windows should look like
this:
# Monitor HTTPS transactions
KT5MONITORHTTPSAPP=YES
# HTTPS keystore (e.g. - /tmp/keys.kdb)
KT5KEYSTORE=C:\keys\key.kdb
# HTTPS server certificate map (eg - certAlias,9.48.152.1,443;...)
KT5SERVERMAP=certalias,9.48.152.1,443
# Monitor network traffic for the NIC hosts this IP address
#KT5MONITORIP=9.48.152.1
-
Restart the Response Time Monitoring agent for the changes to take
effect:
install_dir\BIN\rt-agent.bat start
Results
Data from the new source is displayed in the dashboards that
are associated with Response Time Monitoring.
