Oracle WebLogic Server 14.1.1.0.0 and Oracle WebLogic Monitoring Exporter

As the latest release of Oracle WebLogic Server 14.1.1.0.0 is available (see my blogposts https://dirknachbar.blogspot.com/2020/03/oracle-weblogic-141100-available.html and https://dirknachbar.blogspot.com/2020/03/oracle-weblogic-141100-first-look.html), it's time to test Oracle WebLogic Server 14.1.1.0.0 and the Oracle WebLogic Monitoring Exporter https://github.com/oracle/weblogic-monitoring-exporter

In a previous blogpost (https://dirknachbar.blogspot.com/2020/02/weblogic-monitoring-with-prometheus-and.html) I was already talking about the Oracle WebLogic Monitoring Exporter, which is generating Prometheus conform metrics out of the Oracle WebLogic Server 12.2.x.

In the WebLogic Monitoring Exporter release 1.1.1 was a small issue with the option "domainQualifier: true". This option was causing, that a non Prometheus conform metric was generated and therefor your Prometheus Server couldn't capture the metrics.
With the actual release 1.1.2 of the WebLogic Monitoring Exporter this issue is fixed, many thanks to the Development Team behind the WebLogic Monitoring Exporter.

So, what you will need, is a running WebLogic Server 14.1.1.0.0 domain, download the get1.1.2.sh file from https://github.com/oracle/weblogic-monitoring-exporter/releases and create a YAML file for the to be generated metrics:

#
$ cat exporter-config.yml

metricsNameSnakeCase: true
domainQualifier: true
queries:
- key: name
  keyName: location
  prefix: wls_server_
  applicationRuntimes:
    key: name
    keyName: app

      prefix: wls_webapp_config_
      type: WebAppComponentRuntime
      key: name
      values: [deploymentState, contextRoot, sourceInfo, sessionsOpenedTotalCount, openSessionsCurrentCount, openSessionsHighCount]
      servlets:
        prefix: wls_servlet_
        key: servletName

    values: [pendingRequestCurrentCount]

    values: [executeThreadTotalCount, queueLength, stuckThreadCount, hoggingThreadCount]

    keyName: jmsruntime
    prefix: wls_jmsruntime_
    JMSServers:
      prefix: wls_jms_
      key: name
      keyName: jmsserver
      destinations:
        prefix: wls_jms_dest_
        key: name
        keyName: destination
 
- persistentStoreRuntimes:
    prefix: wls_persistentstore_
    key: name

    JDBCDataSourceRuntimeMBeans:

- JTARuntime:
    prefix: wls_jta_
    key: name

Place the get1.1.2.sh and the YAML file in one directory and execute from your Shell following command, which will add your YAML file into the wls-exporter.war file.

$ ls -la wls-exporter.war

Now, just deploy the newly generated war file wls-exporter.war on your WebLogic 14.1.1.0.0 domain, start the webapp and you can access the metrics over the URL http://<Your Servername>:<Port of Managed Server or AdminServer>/wls-exporter/metrics

How to integrate the metrics from your WebLogic Server 14.1.1.0.0 into your Prometheus, just have a look on my previous blogpost "Weblogic Monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana" https://dirknachbar.blogspot.com/2020/02/weblogic-monitoring-with-prometheus-and.html. The method remains the same as for Oracle WebLogic Server 12.2.x
