Follow these steps to implement Application monitoring of TIBCO BusinessWorks? Container Edition application on Docker.

DOCKER MONITORING (TIBCO BusinessWorks? Container Edition 2.3.2)

1. Download the bwce_mon.zip TIBCO BusinessWorks Container Edition monitoring zip file, from http://edelivery.tibco.com.

2. Extract the zip file in the docker folder of your TIBCO BusinessWorks Container Edition

   C:\BWCE2.3.2\bwce\2.3\docker\bwcemonitoring

3. Navigate to the bwce_mon directory and build the docker image by running the following command:

   docker build -t bwce/monitoring:latest .

4. Ensure that MySQL or PostgreSQL is running and the user is created with all the privileges. You can use a standalone docker to run the monitoring applicaton by passing the two environment variables.

   1. You must pass the two environment variables to start monitoring an application.

   2. PERSISTENCE_TYPE - DB_URL

   3. Run the following command.

      For MySQL

       docker run -p 8080:8080 -e PERSISTENCE_TYPE="mysql" -e DB_URL="mysql://<user name:password>@<machine:port/database> --name <containerName> <monitoringImageName:tag>

       

      For PostGresSQL

       docker run -p 8080:8080 -e PERSISTENCE_TYPE="postgres" -e DB_URL="postgresql://<user name:password>@<machine:port/database> --name <containerName> <monitoringImageName:tag>

       

      For example:

       docker run -p 8080:8080 -e persistence_TYPE="mysql" -e DB_URL="mysql://TIBCO:Tibco123!@localhost:3306/bwcemonitoring" --name bwce-monitoring bwce/monitoring:latest

5. After the monitoring container runs successfully, you can access the monitoring UI by using following URL in the the browser

   http://<docker-host-ip>:8080

6. Create a docker file to deploy application on docker.

   FROM tibco/bwce:latest MAINTAINER Tibco ADD <application name>.ear / EXPOSE 8080

7. Run the Docker terminal and navigate to the directory where the EAR and Docker file are stored.

8. Run the following command to build the application image:

   docker build -t <application name> .

   ex. docker build ?t restapp:latest .

9. In docker run command, set an environment variable BW_APP_MONITORING_CONFIG to enable monitoring

   Using Application Monitoring URL

   docker run -d -p 18065:8080 -e BW_APP_MONITORING_CONFIG='{"url":"http://<docker-host-IP>:8080"}'<application name>

   Note: For Docker on Windows platform use the BW_APP_MONITORING_CONFIG environment variable changes to:

    '{\"url\":\"http://<docker-host-IP>:8080\"}'

    

   Using Link on Same Docker Host

   docker run --link=<name or id>:alias -p 18080:8080 -e BW_APP_MONITORING_CONFIG='{"url":"http://<alias>:8080"}' <applicationName>

   Note: For Docker on Windows platform, the BW_APP_MONITORING_CONFIG environment variable changes to:

    '{\"url\":\"http://<alias>:8080\"}'

    

   For example, on Windows:

    docker run -d -p 8083:8083 -e BW_APP_MONITORING_CONFIG={\"url\":\"http://172.17.0.2:8
