Web Response Time default reporting values create too many applications in Application Management Console
The problem: The Application Management Console agent has hundreds of applications using the default settings.
The solution: The Web Response Time agent default reporting values for application names use a subset of the URL. In some customer environments the URLs that match these values can be unique, which might create hundreds of unique application names. As a result, the Application Management Console agent creates sub-nodes for each unique application name.
To prevent creating too many application names, change the default
reporting rule for the Web Response Time agent by completing the following
steps:
- Launch the Application Management Configuration Editor.
- Click the Web Applications node, then select Web Response Time and then Web Transactions.
- Click the Reporting tab.
- In the Application field, change the value to a hard coded string, or use some other variables from the list that will result in an application name that is less unique.
To remove extraneous sub-nodes in the Application Management Console
agent, complete the following steps:
- Stop the Application Management Console agent.
- Right-click the gray node in the Tivoli Enterprise Portal.
- Select Clear Offline Entry.
- Restart the Application Management Console agent.
This removes any offline (grayed out) nodes, and as long as their applications are no longer in the system, they will not return.
