In addition to modifying the State Collection Specification from
the administrative console, you can also modify these settings using scripts
and the wsadmin tool.
About this task
In doing problem determination, you might want to begin collecting
additional data during normal processing. This can be accomplished by modifying
the State Collection Specification dynamically. This section illustrates how
to do that through the wsadmin tool . This technique can be used to turn on
traces, as well as to turn off traces. Depending on the usage pattern of the
component, the impact should take affect shortly after it is set.
Procedure
- Capture the DiagnosticService ObjectName into a variable.
Enter
set DS [lindex [$AdminControl queryNames name=DiagnosticService,*] 0]
- Use this variable to drive the method to set the specification.
Enter
$AdminControl invoke $DS setStateCollectionSpec "SampleDiagnosticProvider:player.*=1;
SampleDiagnosticProvider:defense.*=1"
The specification is of the form DiagnosticProviderName:AttributeId=0|1… (with
a semicolon at the end, multiple sub-specifications can be entered similar
to the TraceSpec). The DiagnosticProviderName and AttributeId can be proper
regular expressions.
