[Version 5.0.1 and later]Developing your own monitoring applications with Performance Monitoring Infrastructure servlet

Before you begin

The performance servlet uses the Performance Monitor Interface (PMI) infrastructure to retrieve the performance information from WebSphere Application Server.

The performance servlet .ear file perfServletApp.ear is located in the install_root directory.

Why and when to perform this task

The performance servlet is deployed exactly as any other servlet. To use it, follow these steps:

Steps for this task

  1. Deploy the servlet on a single application server instance within the domain.
  2. After the servlet deploys, you can invoke it to retrieve performance data for the entire domain.
    Invoke the performance servlet by accessing the following default URL:
    http://hostname/wasPerfTool/servlet/perfservlet

Results

The performance servlet provides performance data output as an XML document, as described by the provided document type definition (DTD). The output structure provided is called leaves. The paths that lead to the leaves provide the context of the data. See the topic "Performance Monitoring Infrastructure (PMI) servlet" for more information about the PMI servlet output.
