Monitoring Websphere Application Server(WAS)

This post is a tip about an http monitor for IBM HTTP Server(IHS) with Websphere Application Server(WAS).

 

 

When a virtual host where an Enterprise Application Web module is installed does not have a host alias "*:80" in the configuration of a WAS, it is necessary to include an appropriate host header in the "Send String" setting of an http monitor.

 

 

For instance, when the "www.test.com" is the FQDN of the virtual server, the "Send String" setting of the http monitor is as follows.

 

 

"GET /check.jsp HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: www.test.com\r\nConnection: close\r\n\r\n"

 

 

When a virtual host where an Enterprise Application Web module is installed does have a host alias "*:80" in the configuration of a WAS, it is not necessary to include a host header in the "Send String" setting of an http monitor. That is, it is enough in as follows.

 

 

"GET /check.jsp"
