No data is shown in javametric dashboard when newitcam application is deployed

[zjingjbj]

We deployed a liberty application newitcam, as well as we configured javametrics. After start liberty, the application can be accessed, while there is no data in javametrics dashboard.

The scenario is based on a liberty with application newitcam.

Please help take a look. Thanks!

nothing is obvious as to why its not working, has this been working for you before ?

[zjingjbj]

Once I tried to deploy a very simple war from https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/appdev/sample/. After liberty restarted, the application can be accessed while javametric dashboard has data.

@tobespc If you prefer to reproduce it in your own environment, here is the configuration step.

1. From 9.42.19.137 (root/zhu88jie), download /root/zjingjbj/simplejavatest/defaultServer.tar.gz. Copy the defaultServer.tar.gz under your liberty's directory /opt/ibm/wlp/usr/servers, and uncompress it. So there will be /opt/ibm/wlp/usr/servers/defaultServer.
2. Restart your liberty server defaultServer

FYI. I've put javametrics under /opt/ibm/wlp/usr/servers/defaultServer/agent.

@tobespc Toby, I've monitor the application through wireshark and found that when such issue happens, agent doesn't return any data to dashboard through WebSocket. Do you have any idea?

HI @zjingjbj, I've just stumbled on this issue so sorry for resurrecting it :-) I've seen something like this happen when Liberty does not have the websocket feature installed, perhaps that was the issue?

[zjingjbj]

@mattcolegate Actually websocket-1.1 is installed. If there is any log to check why there is no data shown in dashboard?

[mattcolegate]

@zjingjbj There's the console log in the browser (for example, in Firefox right click the dashboard, select Inspect Element and then click the Console tab, look for any errors), the Liberty console.log should also show "Application javametrics-dash-1.X.0 started" and the Liberty messages.log should show messages like the following:
