Well, you are already aware that Dell Openmanage gels well with Applications Manager. However, one of our customers - Paul Redpath from Catalyst2, pointed out to us that the SNMP traps are sent to 162 UDP port by default. So, the user need to ensure that they open the firewall and re-configure Applications Manager to listen to that port for SNMP traps. Once it is configured, the user can see the traps under Alerts >> Unsolicitated Traps and create new Alert for traps in the Applications Manager.

Here is  a screenshot for configuring SNMP trap for Applications Manager.

Thanks Paul for your How-To! :-)

AdventNet ManageEngine is an official Technology Partner with the Open Source Application Server GlassFish, an initiative started by Sun in 2005. Applications Manager ability to support heterogeneous applications and servers and GlassFish’s popularity makes it even more sense to support it.

What does it mean to you?

Applications Manager 8.3 was supporting GlassFish server out-of-the-box even before becoming technology partner. Users who have been using GlassFish server in the past can now use Applications Manager and monitor GlassFish application server and harness its full power. The combined power of open source tool and our powerful monitoring tool, will allow our users to run their mission-critical applications without any real fear of their application server going down.

Check out our blog post on GlassFish server and if you would like to monitor GlassFish server through JMX monitoring check out this blog post by Gibu.

In the earlier post we saw how GlassFish server is supported by our latest Applications Manager 8.3. In this two part series, now we will look into how Silverstream server is supported in Applications Manager and what are the key metrics that are supported.

Silverstream server is another key J2EE platform which enables you to build, deploy key web applications. This server is supported out-of-the-box in Applications Manager. Silverstream monitoring enables you to do fault management, do proactive alert notifications and check for impending problems. It also enables you to trigger correct actions for those alerts and collect performance data for reporting and analysis. Some of the key metrics that can be monitored using Applications Manager are:

  • Server Response Time
  • Free Memory, Total Memory, GC Count
  • Free Threads, Idle Threads, Total Threads
  • Load Details
  • Session Details
  • License Details

Silverstream Server Memory Details

Applications Manager provides detailed information on Silverstream’s memory  

Silverstream Server Request Details

Sliverstream’s request details with minimum and maximum time responses indicated in the graph

Silverstream Server Thread Details

Applications Manager also provides thread details with values for each free threads, idle and total threads

Silverstream Server Session Details

Applications Manager also provides Session details for Silverstream server

With the release of Applications Manager 8.3, we have introduced quite a number of new features and upgrades. This includes the additional support for GlassFish and SilverStream servers. Now with fully added support for GlassFish server, you can monitor it out-of-the-box with Applications Manager.

GlassFish is an open source J2EE application server. Now with added support you can monitor, create alerts, schedule reports for this particular server. Some of the key metrics that can be monitored using Applications Manager are:

  • Memory usage
  • Thread Pool
  • Web Applications

GlassFish Server Response Time Details

Applications Manager provides you detailed graph of Response Time for GlassFish server

GlassFish Server Memory Details

Applications Manager provides you Memory Details for GlassFish server

GlassFish Server Thread Details

Applications Manager provides you detailed graph for various threads in GlassFish server

You can create thresholds for these applications and create notifications and monitor them. You can also create custom reports based on the data available. Check out the post here for a detailed step-by-step procedure for monitoring GlassFish server. Here is a powerpoint presentation to help you use GlassFish monitor feature. In the next post we will talk about SilverStream server monitor.
