Choosing a Diagnostic Provider name

To ensure consistency when choosing Diagnostic Provider names to use with your components, you should consider the guidelines that follow.

Diagnostic Provider name guidelines:
  • Names must be unique within a Java™ Virtual Machine (JVM). One Diagnostic Provider name goes uniquely with one Diagnostic Provider ID within a server.
  • If necessary, names can contain a dynamic element to help with uniqueness. Of course, the dynamic element should have meaning to the administrator.
  • Although not a hard limit, the static part of names should be 16 characters or less.
  • The static part of names must follow the class name convention. Start with a capital letter, no spaces, and capitalize each word in the name.
  • The static part of names must end with DP.
  • Valid names contain a static part only, or a static part followed by a dash (-), followed by a dynamic part. Some valid examples:
    • ConnMgrDP-instance_specific_stuff
    • WebContainerDP
    • AdvisorDP
    • NodeAgentDP
