Disabling or enabling diagnostics data for Ruby applications

If you have IBM® Cloud Application Performance Management, Advanced, you can use the Agent Configuration page in the Cloud APM console to disable or enable diagnostics data collection at any time for one or more managed systems.

Before you begin

You must have Cloud APM, Advanced in your environment.
You must install and configure the Monitoring Agent for Ruby on a virtual machine, as described in Installing agents on AIX systems or Installing agents on Linux systems and in Configuring Ruby monitoring.
You must install the diagnostics data collector and configure support for the collection of diagnostics, as described in Installing the data collector.

About this task

After you configure support for diagnostics data in the data collector configuration, the collection of diagnostics data is disabled by default for each managed system. To display data in the diagnostics dashboards, you must enable the collection of diagnostics data for each managed system you are monitoring.

Take these steps to enable and disable the collection of diagnostics data for each managed system:

Procedure

From the navigation bar, select System Configuration->Agent Configuration.
The Agent Configuration page is displayed.
Click the Ruby tab.
Select the check boxes of the managed systems on which you want to disable or enable diagnostics data collection.
From the Actions list, select one of the following options to disable or enable diagnostics data collection for the selected managed systems:
- Select Disable Data Collection. The status in the Data Collector Enabled column is updated to No for each of the selected managed systems.
- Select Enable Data Collection. The status in the Data Collector Enabled column is updated to Yes for each of the selected managed systems.

Results

You configured the collection of diagnostics data for each of the selected managed systems.
