Abstract:
Lab files can be downloaded from ibm.biz/WUGLabsIn this hands-on lab, you will use the new IBM Support Assistant 5 Team Server Beta (ISA 5), which is the next generation of IBM's problem determination and troubleshooting platform, to monitor and diagnose JVM issues experienced by a running WebSphere Application Server V8.5. The lab uses a badly implemented web application to simulate common problems such as memory leaks, large object allocations, slow methods and large HTTP session sizes. The lab demonstrates how to monitor and diagnose these conditions using the IBM Health Center and Memory Analyzer tools from ISA. Additionally, the lab also uses the new health management features of WebSphere Application Server V8.5 to dynamically monitor and manage servers in a clustered environment.
