Spring Insight outside of tc server?

[javed]

Hi All,
Just wondering has there be any updates since the first post to enable Spring Insight to be deployed on other application servers such as IBM Websphere 6.1 / 8 ?

kind regards,
Javed

Yes, we're adding Oracle Weblogic 10.3 and 12.1 support in Insight's up coming 1.9 release.
JBoss support has been around for quite some time now.

That looks very promising and interesting Eran thanks for sharing !

Is there any guide on how to port to other application servers say IBM Websphere by any chance?

Unfortunately, porting to application containers that are not yet support is nontrivial.
In a nutshell, each container, and sometimes even versions of the same container, implements a slightly different class loading mechanism and class loaders. This requires us to adjust Insight's load-time weaving, and possibly a bunch of other stuff as well, separately for the supported containers.

IBM Webshpere support is in our backlog. But at this point we have no ETA for it.

Hi,
I do read from the above discussion that Insight does have support for Tomcat 6. But I could not find the steps to configure Insight with Tomcat. I cant use TC server because our deployment team decided to stay with Tomcat 6. I downloaded tc server 2.7.1RELEASE(vfabric-tc-server-developer-2.7.1.RELEASE). What all things I need to change for my Tomcat 6.0.35?
The tc server I downloaded does not have webapp-lib directory as was mentioned in the previous posts. Can some one PLEASE point me to some documentation on how I can configure my tomcat to integrate Spring Insight 1.5. Any pointers will be really appreciated.

Thanks,
Anuj

Hi,

To install a Spring Insight agent on a Tomcat see http://pubs.vmware.com/vfabric51/top...ll-agents.html. Basically you run the agent installer and let it walk you through the install procedure.

The Insight dashboard has to be installed on tc-server. We currently do not officially support any other container. Here's the link to the dashboard installation procedure: http://pubs.vmware.com/vfabric51/top...dashboard.html.

Hi,

Guys, can I use Spring Insight (which is included to tcServer Developer Edition) with Apache Tomcat in production environment?

Thanks.

[edvir]

Yep. Check out the Spring Insight supported configurations page.

I apologize for not exact question

Now Spring Insight available in 2 versions:
1) free Spring Insight as part of tcServer Developer Edition (but which can be used only for development / performance testing)
2) paid Spring Insight Operations as part of tcServer Spring Edition

I wanted to ask the following:
Can I use free version of Spring Insight with Apache Tomcat in production environment?

Thanks.

Representatives of the SpringSource, can you assist with my previous question?

Also, I have following questions:
1) Maybe someone measured - what percentage of the CPU/time spent on gathering statistics for insight?
2) Spring Insight (Open Source) and Spring Insight Operations differ only by the capacity of administration?
3) Can Spring Insight works with SQL database like MySQL or PostgreSQL?

Thanks.
