Weblogic Server has released newer versions over a period of time. AppPerfect Agentless Monitor supports monitoring of weblogic server with 7.x and above versions. Weblogic 7.x and 8.x server could only run using JDK 13 or JDK 14 as the newer version of JDK were not released by then. Prior to JDK 15, each server had its proprietary JMX implementation. With JDK 15, JMX implementation was standardized and was part of JDK itself. This required significant changes with in the server to support JMX implementation using standardized approach. Weblogic 9.x and above runs using JDK 15 or more.
Excercise 2.1 explains the step to add Weblogic 7.x/8.x monitor and Excercise 2.2 explains the step to add Weblogic 9.x monitor.

Action:
Once we have identified the version of Weblogic server is 9.x or more, we will proceed to add Bea Weblogic 9.x monitor in Agentless Monitor.
Action:
Once we have identified required information of Bea Weblogic 9.x server, we can also add standard Java 1.5/1.6 monitor to monitor Bea Weblogic 9.x server by providing using additional JAVA_OPTIONS. Bea Weblogic 9.x monitor is a monitor specific to Weblogic 9.x server and allows you to monitor all readable MBeans in the server where as Java 1.5/1.6 monitor is a generic monitor that can monitor all the JVMs running with JDK 1.5 or more.
In order to monitor a server with Java 1.5/1.6 Monitor, please set JAVA_OPTIONS environment variable before starting the weblogic server in its startup file. -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=7008 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false. Note: You can specify a different port if 7008 is blocked by some other process. For the purpose of this tutorial we are not using authentication, you can configure authentication using Monitoring and Management Using JMX guide.
