Error configuring the WebSPHERE plugin

Shane_hyperic · ‎04-10-2007

I am running a Hyperic 2.7 trial. I am assessing the WebSPHERE monitoring capabilities.

A WebSPHERE 6.0 server is found, but I cant seem to get it configured. I get this error:

This resource is turned off or has not been configured properly.
The problem is: Invalid configuration: Plugin error: Plugin class not found: com/ibm/websphere/management/exception/ConnectorException (invalid classpath or corrupt plugin jar)
Please turn on the server, or fix its Configuration Properties.

I have set the websphere.installpath property in the agent.properties file and recycled the agent. (I also set the log level to DEBUG).

The only relevent line (at least to me) is ...

Thanks Doug... works OK in 2.7.5.

Hi German,
You

ll need to install this update:
http://jira.hyperic.com/browse/HHQ-763

It has only been tested against 3.0.2 but should also work fine with 2.7.x

I followed the instructions in patch HHQ-763. My problem persists.

I did NOT follow the instructions in patch 765 - I am assuming that I do not a net new plugin type.

More data... On the agent, the variables HQ-JAVA-HOMe and JAVA-HOME are not set outside the startup script. So the agent.home/jre is used.

Question. As I said, I get the "plugin error: Plugin class not found: com/ibm/websphere/management/exception/ConnectorException (invalid classpath or corrupt plugin jar)". I get this message when I try to configure the wesphere plugin on the agent. But I do this in the "dashboard/server" dialogue. Is the missing class on the server or is the missing class on the agent?

which JVM are you use?

German asked: "What JVM?"

As I mentioned, the environment variables HQ-JAVA-HOME and JAVA-HOME are not set. So the java runtime environment that is supplied with the agent is used. when I run agentDir/jre/binjava -version, I get:
java version "1.4.2_13"

ups... in WebSphere...

The documentation says to set the websphere.installpath property to /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/perf01.

When I set it to /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer, autodiscovery works and all is well.

¿with HHQ-763 patch?
