How do I discover BEA WebLogic Server release 5.1? (NETIQKB14107)

1)       Click on the Discovery tab of the Knowledge Script Pane.

2)       Drag the WebLogicSvrUNIX Knowledge Script onto the machine(s) that contain at least one installation of BEA WebLogic Server release 5.1.

3)       For the ?Semi-colon separated list of directories in which to search for WebLogic home directories ?? parameter, enter a list of directories in which Discovery should search for the home directory for WebLogic Server, which contains a weblogic.properties file.

a)       If you are trying to discover one installation of BEA WebLogic Server release 5.1 on one machine, or one installation on multiple machines that all have the same home directory for WebLogic Server, all you need is a single directory with no semi-colons.

b)       If you are trying to discover more than one installation on a machine, or if you are trying to discover installations on different machines and the home directory for WebLogic Server is different on those machines, you will need to supply more than one directory.  Separate them by semi-colons.  Do not add any spaces before or after a semi-colon.

4)       For the ?Semi-colon separated list of directories in which to search for a Java Runtime Environment? parameter, only one JRE is required per machine.

a)       If you are trying to discover on just one machine, or multiple machines that all have a JRE in the same directory, all you need is a single directory with no semi-colons.

b)       If you are trying to discover on multiple machines, each of which may have a JRE in a different directory, you will need to supply more than one directory.  >Separate them by semi-colons.  Do not add any spaces before or after a semi-colon.

5)       For the ?Semi-colon separated list of SNMP agent ports? parameter:

a)       If you are trying to discover just one installation per machine, all you need is a single port that is available on each of the machines.

b)       If you are trying to discover more than one installation per machine, you need one port for each installation.  Separate them by semi-colons.  Do not add any spaces before or after a semi-colon.

6)       For the ?SNMP community string? parameter, the default ?public? should suffice since the information in the BEA WebLogic Server SNMP agent is all read-only information.  If you are concerned about this, you may change it to a different value.

7)       For the ?SNMP agent refresh interval? parameter, enter the number of seconds that the SNMP agent can cache information before refreshing it from the WebLogic Server.  This value should be less than or equal to the shortest schedule that you intend to use for any WebLogicSvrUNIX Knowledge Script.  There is no harm in setting this value too low.  This value does not imply that the SNMP agent will fetch all measurements from the WebLogic Server every ?n? seconds.  Instead, if the SNMP agent has the requested measurement in its cache and it is less than ?n? seconds old, the SNMP agent can simply return the value in its cache instead of getting the latest value for that measurement from the WebLogic Server itself.

8)       All other parameters can be ignored.
