Deploying the system monitoring shared service

Deploying the System Monitoring for SOA Policy Gateway shared service provides the monitoring components for your virtual system.

Before you begin

The PureAS system administrator must start the System Monitoring shared service, and advise you of the cloud group and environment that they started it in. You must use the same cloud group and environment to deploy the SOA Policy Gateway system monitoring shared service and your runtime and governance patterns.

Monitoring the WSRR instances also requires that the System Monitoring for WebSphere® Application Server shared service is started, so you must ensure that it is present on your PureAS system.

Procedure

Complete the following steps in the workload console:

  1. Click Instances > Shared Services.
  2. Verify that the System Monitoring service is running in the cloud group to which your patterns will deploy. If it is not running, contact your PureAS administrator to start it.
  3. To enable the DataPower® monitoring shared service:
    1. Click Cloud > Pattern Types.
    2. Select the System Monitoring for SOA Policy Gateway Pattern 2.5.0.0 entry in the Pattern Types pane.
    3. Click Enable in the Status field, and wait until the status field changes to Disable.
  4. To start the WebSphere Application Server monitoring shared service:
    1. Click Instances > Shared Services.
    2. Click the plus symbol in the Shared Service Instances pane to open the Deploy Shared Service window.
    3. Select System Monitoring for WebSphere Application Server and click OK.
    4. In the Configure and Deploy a Shared Service window, specify whether you want the service to start on previously-deployed patterns by selecting the bottom two check boxes. Click OK.
    5. In the Deploy Virtual Application window, specify the Target cloud group, IP group, and Profile as advised by your PureAS system administrator. These must be the same as those to which your Virtual Systems deploy.
  5. To start the WebSphere DataPower monitoring shared service:
    1. Click Instances > Shared Services in the menu bar.
    2. Click the plus symbol in the Shared Service Instances pane to open the Deploy Shared Service window.
    3. Select System Monitoring for WebSphere DataPower from the list and click OK.
    4. In the Configure and deploy a shared service window, specify whether you want monitoring to start on previously-deployed patterns by selecting the bottom two check boxes. Click OK.
    5. In the Deploy Virtual Application window, specify the Target cloud group, IP group, and Profile as advised by your PureAS system administrator. These must be the same as those to which your Virtual Systems deploy.
    6. Generate and save an SSH Key if you require debug access to the monitoring shared service.
    7. Click OK.

Results

The System Monitoring for WebSphere DataPower shared service is shown as running. The System Monitoring for WebSphere Application Server shared service is shown as running.
