AppManager for BEA WebLogic Server
AppManager for BEA WebLogic Server is one component of NetIQ's AppManager Suite (AppManager), the industry's leading solution for managing, diagnosing and analyzing the performance and availability of UNIX-based systems, applications and server infrastructures. This module delivers the functionality you need to ensure WebLogic Server performance.
In addition to delivering comprehensive event management and proactive alert messaging, AppManager for BEA WebLogic Server checks for potential problems, triggers appropriate actions and gathers long-term data for planning, analysis and reporting.
Key Benefits
- Automates systems management. Offers out-of-the-box management for WebLogic servers with the Health Check Knowledge Script, minimizing system downtime and freeing you from daily firefighting to focus on high-value projects. This module takes systems management beyond the manual stand-alone scripting approach, initiating automated responses or corrective actions based on event severity.
- AppManager for BEA WebLogic Server
- Collects real-time data. Evaluates threshold alerts and takes action to correct performance problems. Unlike other applications that rely on historical data gathered from access and error logs, this module provides an accurate picture of WebLogic Server performance without requiring intrusive instrumentation or causing concern about losing data in rolling log files.
- Provides JDBC connection pools, JTA and security management. Tracks key performance statistics, such as size of the Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) database connection pool, time waiting for a connection and percentage of database connections in use, as well as core data about Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB), Java Message Service (JMS) and servlet performance. This module also provides visibility of key security-related metrics, such as number of invalid logins or locked users. Actions and notifications can be linked to alerts on these and any other metrics.
- Uses unique technology. Allows you to dynamically configure measurement values so a single script can do the job of many by utilizing unique Knowledge Scripting technology.

Management Functions
Here are some of the out-of-the-box management functions provided by AppManager for BEA WebLogic Server:
- Verifies a WebLogic Server is running, can respond to requests and can accept connections from clients.
- Returns statistics on security, such as user lockouts, invalid logins and user unlocks.
- Tracks statistics on the connections in a JDBC connection pool, including total connections, peak active connections and average number of clients waiting for a connection.
- Reports the number of connections to the WebLogic Server and the number of JMS servers deployed on the WebLogic Server. Statistics include current, peak and made connections, as well as the total number of session pools per server, with thresholds for peak values of each.
