you saved our life!
I struggled 4 hours with Sitescope and only your post allowed us to complete the configuration… Sitescope error messages are inexistent and/or useless!

We do telephone testing and LR cannot do it. So we have built our own testing tool for it. But we would like integrate transactions data into the LR analysis. As we web testing along with telephony.
Is there a way to send custom transactions from JMX and those be inserted into the LR while other tests are running.

I greatly appreciate for coming forward to share your work with us all.

Thank you very much.

Hi David,

Thanks for your detailed suggestions! In short I’ve long since abandoned monitoring JMX via SiteScope as I found it too cumbersome for what I was after. Instead I’ve opted for simple JRuby scripts that use a JMX gem to automatically enum desired counters. This has saved me loads of time in terms of trawling through metrics via WLST and JConsole =)

Regarding hacking the groups file, I had also done this in the past in response to a different defect, where SiteScope would timeout (actually run out of memory) when trying to enum the entire domainruntime MBeans tree upon first connect. Ugh.

I wasn’t aware that BEA is serving up via other protocols, I had only ever tried via IIOP … I also wasn’t aware I would break other EJB access via the same protocol, but I guess that makes sense. Since I posted the original entry, I’ve realized you don’t need to make sure the password is >= 8 digits, that was my mistake, as I was using the default weblogic/weblogic account. Since then I’ve got the sysadmin to create me a custom account in the security realm and added it to the monitor & operator groups (not sure if they are default on all instances). In any case that setup works well.

Thanks again for your tips, if you’re interested in using JRuby to collect the same info, please see this link:
