Collecting performance data from a Web service via the Maelstrom engine is supported on a limited number of WebSphere® Application Server versions. See the toolkit installation guide for information about supported versions.
Note: If you will be collecting Web service data, start the data collection infrastructure before you start WebSphere Application Server. Otherwise, Web service data might not be collected. If it is not possible for you to restart the server after starting the data collection infrastructure, you can force it to reconnect to the ARM engine by disabling and then enabling ARM via JMX or the admin console.
To collect performance data for a Web service, create a new profiling configuration, with the following specifics:
Once you have collected the performance data, you can begin analyzing it and diagnosing the problem. You can view the data using several views including statistics views and sequence diagrams of class and object interactions.
