WebSphere Monitoring

[Eric Lewis]

Is there a way to monitor the individual applications using Tivoli running under the JVM. For instance I have three applications and want to monitor each one to see if they fall down. We are suing WebSphere 6 ND

Any help is most appreciated.

Yes. Tivoli Monitoring can used to monitor all the processes (daemons) on system. What Tivoli does is ps -ef on the system for finding whether the
process is runing or not.

Additional End to End Monitoring - Write servlet or jsp to simulate a dummy transaction which takes to all the components in ur system. On Success or Failure it returns some HTML back. configure the monitoring system to call that servlet & interpret the html returned back. if failure send alerts.

hope this helps.
