Create gauge monitors

Before you begin


A gauge monitor periodically checks the value of an integer or floating-point attribute and generates a notification if the value exceeds a threshold.

To create a gauge monitor:

  1. If you have not already done so, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Lock & Edit (see Use the Change Center).
  2. In the Administration Console, under Domain Structure, expand Diagnostics and select SNMP.
  3. On the Summary of SNMP Agents page, in the Server SNMP Agents table, click the name of an SNMP agent.
  4. On the SNMP Agent: Configuration: General page, click the Gauge Monitors sub-tab.
  5. On the SNMP Gauge Monitors page, click New.

    Note: Once you create a gauge monitor, you cannot rename it. Instead, you must delete it and create another one that uses the new name.

  6. On the Create a New SNMP Gauge Monitor page, in the Name field, enter a name for the gauge monitor.
  7. In the Monitored MBean Type list, select an MBean type and click Next.

    For a description of WebLogic Server MBean types and attributes, see the MBean Reference for Oracle WebLogic Server.

  8. In Monitored Attribute Name, select an MBean attribute and click Finish.
  9. On the SNMP Gauge Monitors page, click the new gauge monitor name.
  10. To monitor only a specific MBean instance, in the Monitored MBean Name list select an MBean instance. See Specify MBean instance names.

    If you do not select an instance name, the monitor observes all MBean instances of the type that you specified in Step 6.

  11. In the Polling Interval field, enter the frequency in seconds at which you want WebLogic Server to check the attribute's value.

    For testing purposes, enter a small value, such as 10.

  12. To send a notification when the observed attribute value is equal to or greater than a specific value, enter the value in the High Threshold field.

    To send a notification when the observed attribute value is equal to or less than a specific value, enter the value in the Low Threshold field.

  13. Click Save.

After you finish

If you plan to target the SNMP agent that contains this monitor to the Administration Server, specify which servers in the domain you want this monitor to observe. See Target gauge monitors.
