Configuring the agent on Linux or AIX systems

To configure the agent on Linux® or AIX® systems, you must run the script and respond to prompts.

Before you begin

Ensure that the files, which are listed in the Before you begin section of the Configuring SAP NetWeaver Java Stack monitoring topic, are available in the bin directory.

Procedure

  1. On the command line, change the path to the agent installation directory.

    Linux/opt/ibm/apm/agent/bin

    Linux or AIX/opt/ibm/apm/agent/bin

  2. Run the following command:

    ./sap_netweaver_java_stack-agent.sh config instance_name

    where instance_name is the name that you want to give to the instance.

    Important: The agent instance name must match the 3-digit SAP NetWeaver Java Stack system identifier (SID). For example, if the SID of the managed SAP NetWeaver Java Stack is P14, enter P14 as the instance name.
  3. When the command line displays the following message, type 1 and press Enter:

    Edit ‘Monitoring Agent for SAP NetWeaver Java Stack’ setting? [1=Yes, 2=No]

  4. When you are prompted, specify values for the configuration parameters.

    For information about the configuration parameters, see Configuration parameters of the agent

  5. Run the following command to start the agent:

    ./sap_netweaver_java_stack-agent.sh start instance_name

What to do next

  • Log in to the Cloud APM console to view the resource monitoring data that is collected by the agent in the dashboards. For information about using the Cloud APM console, see Starting the Performance Management console.
  • To collect transaction tracking and diagnostics data, configure the data collector and enable data collection for transaction tracking and diagnostics.
