You can use the administrative console to view or set SMF record properties for specific types of SMF records.

Before you begin

Ensure that you have proper access to the administrative console.

About this task

To enable SMF, you must first use the administrative console to enable properties for specific record types.

Procedure

  1. In the administrative console, click Servers > Application Servers > server_name.
  2. On the configuration page, click Server Infrastructure > Java™ and Process Management > Process Definition > Control > Environment Entries.
  3. To enable SMF type 120 records, click New, and specify one or more of the following properties:
    • name = server_SMF_server_activity_enabled = 1 (or server_SMF_server_activity_enabled = true)
    • name = server_SMF_server_interval_enabled = 1 (or true)
    • name = server_SMF_container_activity_enabled = 1 (or true)
    • name = server_SMF_container_interval_enabled = 1 (or true)
    • name = server_SMF_interval_length, value=n, where n is the interval, in seconds, that the system will use to write records for a server instance. Set this value to 0 to use the default SMF recording interval.
    • name = server_SMF_request_activity_enabled = 1 (or true)
    • name = server_SMF_request_activity_CPU_detail = 0. To enable the property, set the value to 1.
    • name = server_SMF_request_activity_timestamps = 0 To enable the property, set the value to 1.
    • name = server_SMF_request_activity_security = 0 To enable the property, set the value to 1.
  4. Click OK or Apply.
  5. Save the changes and make sure a file sync is performed before restarting the servers.
  6. For the changes to take effect, restart the application server.
