Splunk support for Weblogic 9.x and 10.x (JMX metrics)

Another path (which I took because it was easier for me) is to use the Weblogic Scripting Tool (WLST) as a scripted input to Splunk. I run a shell script which calls java weblogic.WLST and a script name..

I run the script every 5 minutes into an index, and can do reports on heap free, threads used, data source statistics. If anyone is interested in the view I can provide that as well..

Example Script:

import time

date = time.strftime("%d-%m-%Y %H:%M:%S")

### Connect to managed server
connect ('<adminaccount>','<password>','t3://<servername>:<serverport>')
serverRuntime();

### Get HEAP Stats
cd ('JVMRuntime/<managedservername>')
heapSizeMax = cmo.getHeapSizeMax()
heapFreeCurrent = cmo.getHeapFreeCurrent()
heapFreePercent = cmo.getHeapFreePercent()
TotalNumberOfThreads=cmo.getTotalNumberOfThreads()

### Print the results
print date,',Host=<managedservername>',',HeapSizeMax=',heapSizeMax,',HeapSizeCurrent=',heapFreeCurrent,',TotalNumberOfThreads=',TotalNumberOfThreads

### Get Database Settings.  Will need to customize with your DataSourceNames
cd('../../JDBCServiceRuntime/<managedservername>/JDBCDataSourceRuntimeMBeans/<datasourcename>');
ActiveConnectionsCurrentCount=cmo.getActiveConnectionsCurrentCount()
ActiveConnectionsHighCount=cmo.getActiveConnectionsHighCount()
ConnectionDelayTime=cmo.getConnectionDelayTime()
FailuresToReconnectCount=cmo.getFailuresToReconnectCount()
LeakedConnectionCount=cmo.getLeakedConnectionCount()
WaitingForConnectionCurrentCount=cmo.getWaitingForConnectionCurrentCount()
WaitingForConnectionHighCount=cmo.getWaitingForConnectionHighCount()

###Print the results
print date,',Host=<managedservername>',',datasource=<datasourcename>',',ActiveConnectionsCurrentCount=',ActiveConnectionsCurrentCount
,',ActiveConnectionsHighCount=',ActiveConnectionsHighCount,',ConnectionDelayTime=',ConnectionDelayTime,',FailuresToReconnec
tCount=',FailuresToReconnectCount,',LeakedConnectionCount=',LeakedConnectionCount,',WaitingForConnectionCurrentCount=',Wait
ingForConnectionCurrentCount,',WaitingForConnectionHighCount=',WaitingForConnectionHighCount

### Disconnect
disconnect()

Hello Brian

I am interested in your view and details on how you implemented this using splunk. I was thinking on doing it using another tool (mrtg) but doing it using splunk makes perfect sense.

Cheers!

Have a look at SPLUNK for JMX

http://splunk-base.splunk.com/apps/25505/splunk-for-jmx

You may need to specify a custom weblogic jar -> wlfullclient.jar

and a jvm system property -> -Djmx.remote.protocol.provider.pkgs=weblogic.management.remote

to be able to connect and view the Weblogic MBeans (as detailed here for using JConsole to connect to Weblogic)

http://blogs.oracle.com/WebLogicServer/entry/managing_weblogic_servers_with

Details of adding that custom jar to SPLUNK for JMX are in the pdf documentation.You simply drop it in the "SPLUNK4JMX/bin/lib/ext" directory

You can add the jvm system property yourself in the poll_jmx.sh or poll_jmx.bat script.

Let me know how you get on !!
