To Use the PetStore Example
The following example illustrates how the asadmin tool might be used for monitoring purposes.
A user wants to inspect the number of calls made to a method in the sample PetStore
application after it has been deployed onto the Enterprise Server. The instance onto which it has
been deployed is named server. A combination of the list and get commands are used to
access desired statistics on a method.
Start the Enterprise Server and the asadmin tool.
1
Set some useful environment variables to avoid entering them for every command:
2
asadmin> export AS_ADMIN_USER=admin AS_ADMIN_PASSWORD=admin123
asadmin>export AS_ADMIN_HOST=localhost AS_ADMIN_PORT=4848
List monitorable components for instance server:
3
asadmin> list --user adminuser --monitor server*
Returns (output will be similar to):
server
server.applications
server.applications.CometEJB
server.applications.ConverterApp
server.applications.petstore
