Tech Questions

I've been tasked with finding a way to grab certain metric information out of WebSphere and WebLogic. It appears that there are two methods to do this: a) drop a java process on the server to hit up the exposed api's, or b) use SNMP to access JMX to get the info remotely.

Sadly, I'm a windows c++ developer, and this is seriously outside my knowledge box. I lean towards (b), as it seems the system that a number of commercial applications utilize, but I'm not sure how to go about it. Visual C++ has a SMNP library, and I'd think that once I'm connected to that, I can find my way to JMX, and then to the J2EE metrics, but I'm having a wretched time finding any info on that path.

Anyone? Shawn? Shayde? Beuller? Beuller?

I have a bunch of colleagues who just went through websphere training; let me see if they have any bright ideas

My colleages have failed me, but I'm going through a Websphere Business Modeling class next week. Send me an email at stratagos @ gmail so I can get a little more info if you're still having this problem...

Sorry I hate Java. Micro$oft makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

I just had to rebuild one of our Java products to add some new logging messages. It required using Eclipse.

In Eclipse, the code display window, obviously enough, utilized a copy of the source that was stored in memory. The error and warning list window, though, worked off the source that was saved to the disk. Can you see the small issue with this? Especially since Eclipse never forced a Save All? Ever?

Bah.

Both SNMP and JMX are reasonable. I am more familiar with SNMP but I haven't done anything with WebSphere/WebLogic.

JMX is really just providing a bridge to SNMP so if you can go straight to JMX that may be better.
