Monitoring BEA Weblogic with Cricket
Based on the work I've done adapting ATG Dynamo to be monitored via SNMP by Cricket. As of version 6.1, Weblogic Enterprise includes integrated SNMP support, which exports detailed performance metrics. This includes per-servlet and per-EJB performance data, which can greatly assist in performance analysis and tuning.
I am providing a Defaults and sample targets files for integration into your existing Cricket tree.
If you are already using an SNMP agent to collect data, such as Net-SNMP or a native agent such as Sun's, you might prefer to run the Weblogic agent on a nonstandard port such as 1161 or 7161. If so, you can integrate collection by proxying the Weblogic enterprise OID with a command such as the following example for net-snmp's snmpd.conf:
proxy -p 1161 localhost 1.3.6.1.4.1.140.625 1.3.6.1.4.1.140.625
