Hyperic HQ 3.0.2 not detecting Apache 2 Vhosts and WL Managed Nodes

[kelliott_dhap]

Greetings,

We've just installed Hyperic HQ 3.0.2. Our initial evaluation has lead us to believe it's quite an amazing monitoring tool!

We are having a few problems though:

* Apache 2.x Vhosts are not detected.
* While the WebLogic 8.1 Admin node, and occasionally Node Manager are detected, it does not detect our managed nodes or any applications running inside.

Is there something I must do to properly massage either of these to detect properly? Is there a way to manually add these?

Hi Kevin,

Great to hear you like what you see so far.

You'll need to apply the following patch for WebLogic:

http://jira.hyperic.com/browse/HHQ-765

As for the apache vhosts, did you install the snmp module?  What version of Apache exactly and on what platform?

Doug,

Thanks for the reply!

Yes, I've installed the WebLogic patch. I'm just trying to figure out how to delete an auto-discovered set of servers, and rediscover them to see if it is working now.

Also, no, I did not install any SNMP module. I did not see any documentation mentioning that, nor how to do it. What steps should I do to get the SNMP module going?

Thanks again,

Kevin

Additionally, we're running Apache 2.0.54.

You can just use Browse Resources -> Servers, check box the servers
and click the Delete button.

Here's the doc on the snmp module (below the metric listing):
http://support.hyperic.com/confluence/display/DOCSHQ30/Apache+2.0+server

Note that if you already imported the "Apache httpd" type (mod_status
monitor), you'll see a different type discovered "Apache
2.x" (mod_snmp monitor) when the snmp module is installed. The VHost
services will only show up under the "Apache 2.x" type.

So doug does this mean that if you do not or can't install mod_snmp in your apache version Hyperic will not auto-discover or monitor on httpd services?

for some reason I can't even check the auto-discover service checkbox for my mod_status discovered apache server...

the checkbox simply returns the OFF status when i click this option?

any ideas?

Best,

Deeboh

Hi Deeboh,

If you can't install mod_snmp, the mod_status monitor does not provide any services, just the server-level metrics you'd see with /server-status?auto

The checkbox shouldn't actually be there for the "Apache httpd" server type, that's a UI bug.
