Quickly define and assign process policies based on MBean attributes


The Process Metrics tab on the Process page enables you to quickly define and automatically assign constraints that are based on the value of an MBean attribute.

Note: The service must be deployed in order to be able to browse to the MBean attributes. For more information, see Deploy services.

To quickly define and assign process policies based on MBean attributes.

  1. Access the Service page in one of the following ways:
    • Click the Inventory tab in the WLOC navigation bar, expand the Services list in the Inventory pane, and click the name of the Service.
    • Click the Home tab in the WLOC navigation bar, click Services under Manage Inventory, and click the name of the service in the Services table.
  2. Click the JVM instance in the Configured Process Groups table for which you want to define a policy.
  3. Click the Process Metrics tab on the Process page.

    The MBeans registered in the MBean server for the selected JVM instance are displayed.

  4. To filter the list of MBeans, enter Column=Value in the text box and click Filter.

    Column specifies the table column name on which you want to filter Value specifies a string value on which to filter the contents. To clear the filter, click Clear Filter.

  5. Click the MBean that you want to use to define the constraint.
  6. Select the radio button next to the attribute that you want to use to define the constraint.

    Only attributes that can be selected have a radio button associated with them. Complex types are not supported in policies.
