JAVA Monitoring
Contents :
1. Checking the java stack/portal accessibility
2. Actioning, in case portal not accessible
3. User load analysis
4. Java Reports – Navigation and usability
5. Memory consumption and Threads report
6. Session Monitoring
7. Logs and Traces (Default trace, Server0 log etc)
8. Accessing Management Console
9. Checking System availability using Management Console(SDM, Msg server, Enqueue server, Java nodes etc)
10. Check various logs(work directory logs, jcontrol, default trace, application log etc)
Java Monitoring :
Place the link of the respective java application in the browser and check whether the java application is opening:
For example:
If java is up and running, a screen similar to below will open.
If the page did not open,
i) Check whether there are network issues
ii) Check tablespaces occupancy levels at Oslevel and make sure sufficient
space is there and if any tablespace is 100% full, action the same
space is there and if any tablespace is 100% full, action the same
iii) Check the default trace for any critical errors
iv) Check application log to determine any memory related issues
v) Check server node status at oslevel or through management console and
action and bring up the java again.
action and bring up the java again.
To estimate the user load and to check the number of users logged onto the java portal :
Navigate to User Administration -> Activity Reports
i) Check “Number of users in the last 3 hours” report
ii) To figure out most active users, check the 10Most active users report
Java Reports :
Java Memory Consumption Report and Threads Reports :
These reports includes a chart of the memory usage of a cluster node and a chart related to the system and application thread pool.
To check this report login to nwa of the respective java stack :
Then navigate to Monitoring -> Java System Reports :
Here following reports can be taken by selecting the respective report from the drop down provided:
ü Capacity Planning : This
report includes a chart representing the requests sent to J2EE Engine, a chart
for the number of http and security sessions, and a chart of the communication
between J2EE nodes

However from monitoring perspective, resource consumption report is most important to analyse the memory consumption.
Select resource consumption from the dropdown to view the memory statistics as below:
Click on Go to Detailed Chart link of the respective report to view detailed chart as below
Click Hint on charts link to analyse the report better.
Select the respective Instance, Cluster node and Time period from the provided dropdown boxes to view the reports belonging to the same
Table view for Threads report:
There are 2 types of views: Chart view and Table view. You can change the view by selecting the respective radio button.
Please find below table view for Memory Consumption report
Session Monitoring:
To monitor sessions, navigate to Monitoring -> Session Monitoring
