Anotherexample, application, is a valid monitorable object type and is not a singleton. To
addressa non-singleton child node representing, for example, the application PetStore, the
dottedname is:
server.applications.petstore
Thedotted names can also address specic attributes in monitorable objects. For example,
http-servicehas a monitorable attribute called bytesreceived-lastsampletime. The
followingname addresses the bytesreceived attribute:
server.http-service.server.http-listener-1.
bytesreceived-lastsampletime
Theadministrator is not expected to know the valid dotted names for asadmin list and get
commands.The list command displays available monitorable objects, while the get
commandused with a wildcard parameter allows the inspection of all available attributes on
anymonitorable object.
Theunderlying assumptions for using the list and get commands with dotted names are:
■Anylist command that has a dotted name that is not followed by a wildcard (*) gets as its
resultthe current node’s immediate children. For example, list --user adminuser
--monitorserver lists all immediate children belonging to the server node.
■Anylist command that has a dotted name followed by a wildcard of the form .* gets as its
resulta hierarchical tree of children nodes from the current node. For example, list
--useradminuser --monitor server.applications.* lists all children of applications
andtheir subsequent child nodes and so on.
■Anylist command that has a dotted name preceded or followed by a wildcard of the form
*dottednameor dotted * name or dotted name * gets as its result all nodes and their children
matchingthe regular expression created by the provided matching pattern.
■Agetcommand followed by a .* or a *gets as its result the set of attributes and their values
belongingto the current node to be matched.
