2 Completing Installation of HPjmeter

NOTE: This chapter assumes that you have installed the HPjmeter components on the appropriate server(s) and are ready to configure the agents. For information on initial installation, see HPjmeter Release Notes and Installation Guide.

Platform Support and System Requirements

Although the agents and console can execute on the same system, this document assumes they are installed on separate systems—the recommended configuration.

Agent Requirements
These are the requirements for systems running JVM agents and node agents.Table 2-1 Agent Requirements

Patches and updates

HPjconfig can help you determine which Java patches are recommended or required

 

for best operation of the HPjmeter agent on HP-UX.

 

 

Processor and memory

The agent is designed to be lightweight and low overhead, and does not require

 

any additional processing power or memory beyond that required by the application

 

being monitored.

 

 

Disk space

10 MB

 

 

 

 

 

 

Zero Preparation Data Collection:

If you are running the HP JDK/JRE 5.0.04 or later, you can send a signal to the running JVM to start and stop an eprof profiling data collection period with zero preparation and no interruption of your application. See Profiling with Zero Preparation (page 62).

If you are running the HP JDK/JRE 5.0.14 (or later) or the 6.0.02 version (or later), you can send a signal to the running JVM to start and stop a verbose GC data collection period with zero preparation and no interruption of your application. See Collecting GC Data with Zero Preparation (page 83).

Console Requirements
These are the requirements for systems running the console.Table 2-2 Console Requirements

Operating system and

The console is a pure Java application, so it should execute on any platform that

architecture

supports Java.
