Hi All.

Environment: eclipse 3.2 RC5, tptp 4.2.0 , jvm sun 1.5.0_6, windows XP prof.
I unpack Agent Controller, config it through SetConfig.bat and run
ACServer.exe. Then, open eclipse "Profile" -> "Attach - Java Process",
create new configuration, select localhost:10002, go to tab "Agents"
and.... nothing there are no agents at all. What i'm doing wrong?

Thank`s

Was Eclipse running before/while you started ACServer? It can't get the
port (10002) if the IAC inside Eclipse already has it. ACServer has to
start cleanly. Check out <install_dir>/config/servicelog.log and see if
the ACServer is "happy".

Hi Randy,
ACServer was started before eclipse, and it definitely "happy" :) (logs

Also, eclipse binds to 10002 port only when i`m trying to run some
monitoring activities (like direct connection or something like that) -
this is not my case. I got ACServer running, run eclipse, go to
profiling, select localhost:10002, test connection (got success), go to
agents tab and still see nothing. I suppose - at least i should see some
default agents bundled with ACServer am i right?

No, none are started by default. PerfmonAgent is "on demand", as are the
others. *If* you've run some java program/server with the -XrunpiAgent
argument, then you should see that as an agent in the profiling launch
agents tab. But otherwise, no, there aren't any default agents set up to
run.

I'm sorta curious... what agent would you have expected to be running by
default? TPTP is itself just a platform (with exemplary tools, of
course), but I think that if we chose (for example) to run some agent by
default we'd offend some community that just wants to use us for
monitoring, testing, or profiling only.

registered agent would be enough (that`s how i thought first, or why
else agents folder and it contents exists for?)?
Anyway, my questions arise from lack of understanding of key concepts
beyond ACServer and documentation a've found on eclipse.org doesn't
helps much :(

"Attach - Java Process" is to connect with a Java program/server you've
started with the "-XrunpiAgent" argument, making sure that you do that
with the "piAgent.dll" library visible on your path. If you do that,
start such a Java process (after starting the ACServer), the Java
process will "register itself as an agent" with the AC and you'll see it
on the agents tab. (That's piAgent.dll's first task... subsequently it
provides all the profiling data once you attach to the agent.)

Alternatively, if you have your Java program in an Eclipse workspace,
you can Profile launch a Java process directly from the workbench

I'm not sure that i crearly understand the use case of all that stuff :)
How in this case i can avoid starting agent manualy?

Okay, so what is your use case? What are you wanting to
profile/monitor/test? If you were wanting to attach to a java process...
which one did you have in mind??

Help me to understand what *you* want to do rather than me trying to
suggest all the different things that *can* be done!

particular use case - I'm researching how i can make use from all this
software :) And i still don't understand this. My main goal for a moment
- find a way to reuse tptp stuff to build system for monitoring and
"self-healing" that would be able to handle complex integrated solution
(about 15 highly heterogeneous systems).

Rodion.

P.S. Sorry for my English, it's not my language actually :)

Ahh, okay. In that case, try this. Go to the Profiling and Logging
perspective, then do a Run => Profile... to get the launch window...
don't take the "Attach - Java Process" one, but the Statistical launch
type, go to localhost:10002 as the Host and Windows System Trace
(Perfmon) as the Agent (if on Windows...), Apply, and Profile.

One the Profiling Monitor shows the attached PerfmonAgent, click the
green "Start Monitoring" button which should change attached to
monitoring...collecting then collecting. Right click on the PerfmonAgent
line, and Open With... => Agent Control. Expand the + to see the groups
of things you can monitor on the system, and expand some to select the
individual monitoring counters. Right click on the PerfmonAgent again,
and Open With... => Statistical Graph. Watch. Enjoy.

After playing around with this... consider installing the AC on another
system. When you do and you run the SetConfig, make sure you open up
access to the system you're running your Eclipse Workbench on via the
Allowed Hosts capability. (If you're behind a firewall where you can
trust everyone, you can just say "ALL" when it suggests LOCAL.)

This time create a new Statistical launch, but add this other host to
your Host list, Test Connection (to make sure you can get to the AC),
and launch the appropriate PerfmonAgent... You can monitor a remote
Linux box from your Windows box... the groups and counters are
different, but with many of the same capabilities.

If this/these seem like something that is along the lines of what you
want to do... consider looking at the code for PerfmonAgent in CVS and
building upon that model. The idea behind this performance monitoring
agent is actually quite straightforward and simple... but really, really
powerful!

If you do decide to look at the code, let me know and I'll point you to
where to find it in the CVS tree. In TPTP 4.1 we migrated this agent
from the RAC to the new tech AC... but for 4.2 we just use the original
running through the "backward compatibility" layer of the new AC which
looks just like the old RAC.

Hope this helps.

(The "Attach - Java Process" is for Profiling... gathering data on
memory usage or execution statistics, looking for "hot spots" or at a
call graph... it can monitor a *process*, but it sounded like you wanted
to monitor a *system*, so that's why I elaborated on the monitoring
capabilities vs. the trace/profile capabilities.)
