Insight does not have any application or trace...

[cgeyma@gmail.com]

I am using STS tc Server Developer Edition v2.0.
My application uses Spring 2.5.6.
It starts up and runs fine in Insight but no application or trace is displayed when the application is running.

I have read most the threads in this forum with similar problem but could not find a solution.

When the server starts up, I get the following log output.
I thought "ASPECTJ: aspectj.overweaving=true: overweaving switched ON" would indicate things are loading up find in Insight.

However, everything started up fine, application is running with no problem and just no application and trace displayed in http://localhost:8080/insight.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Even though the Insight dashboard is deployed, it may be configured to not collect traces. If you double click on the server, there will be a configuration section and checkbox to enable Insight collection.

Let us know if you have trouble.

Yes, in the SpringSource tc Server Developer Edition v2.0 view, there is an Insight tab. In this tab, there is a checkbox for "Enable gathering of metrics". This is checked.

I have also read in other threads about the context.xml needing some extra configuration. I tried those and it did not help. In fact, when I put those suggestions in, the tc server did not start up correctly. My current context.xml is the following. Should it be different?

<Context>

<!-- Default set of monitored resources -->
<WatchedResource>WEB-INF/web.xml</WatchedResource>

<!-- Uncomment this to disable session persistence across Tomcat restarts -->
<!-- <Manager pathname="" /> -->

<!-- Uncomment this to enable Comet connection tacking (provides events
on session expiration as well as webapp lifecycle) -->
<!-- <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.CometConnectionManagerV alve"
/> -->

</Context>

Additional information. My applications are configure in C:\springsource\tc-server-developer-2.0.4.RELEASE\spring-insight-instance\conf\catalina\localhost directory. This directory has the xml file for the application and the xml file has the <Context docBase="xyz" /> where xyz is the webroot of the application.

Is this why Insight is not picking up the app even though tc Server is able to load and run the app?

I see in the tc Server config in STS there is a Deploy path attribute and default to wtpwebapps. Should my app be deployed to this directory? I changed this attribute to point to the webroot of my application and it does not make a difference.

Thanks.

OK. Problem resolved.
I tried another STS setup in Linux and Insight has no problem displaying metrics. I then compare the config between my Windows STS setup and Linux STS setup and found the the tcserver.node in Properties is different. My Windows setup has the value of "tcServer" and Linux has "spring-insight-instance-07156". I changed the Windows setup to use "spring-insight-instance-07156" and it is working now. Although I still don't know what tcserver.node is and what the value "spring-insight-instance-07156" represents.

I will read the doc to find out and if anyone can explain, it will be great.

Thanks.

Forgot to mention that the following was also missing from the context.xml file. With the following added and the tcserver.node defined, all is well.

<Valve className="com.springsource.insight.collection.tcserver.reque st.HttpRequestOperationCollectionValve"/>

<Loader loaderClass="com.springsource.insight.collection.tcserver.ltw.T omcatAspectJWeavingClassLoader" useSystemClassLoaderAsParent="false"/>

<Listener className="com.springsource.insight.collection.tcserver.lifec ycle.ApplicationLifecycleCollectionListener"/>
