Configuring WebLogic monitoring
The Monitoring Agent for WebLogic provides you with a central point of monitoring for the health, availability, and performance of your WebLogic server environment. The agent displays a comprehensive set of metrics to help you make informed decisions about your WebLogic resources, including Java™ virtual machines (JVMs), Java messaging service (JMS), Java Database Connectivity (JDBC).
Before you begin
-
The product version and the agent version often differ. The directions here are for the most current release of this agent. For information about how to check the version of an agent in your environment, see Agent version command. To access the documentation for earlier agent releases, see the Table 1 table.

About this task
The WebLogic agent is both a multiple instance agent and also a multiple subnode agent. You can create one agent instance with multiple subnodes – one for each WebLogic server, or you can create an agent instance for each WebLogic server with one subnode for that server. Or you can create a combination of each type of configuration. After you configure agent instances, you must start each agent instance manually.
