Configure the Introscope_Cross-Enterprise_APM.profile File

The Introscope_Cross-Enterprise_APM.profile file is where the agent configuration required to communicate to Enterprise Manager and CA SYSVIEW agent are made.

Introscope_Cross-Enterprise_APM.profile is a standard CA Introscope agent configuration file that provides all required properties to connect and communicate to Enterprise Manager. Any update in the file requires that you restart the Cross-Enterprise APM Agent.

The following properties identify the Enterprise Manager instance:

introscope.agent.enterprisemanager.transport.tcp.host.DEFAULT=em_hostname
introscope.agent.enterprisemanager.transport.tcp.port.DEFAULT=em_port_number

In addition to other settings, you can set these CA SYSVIEW-related properties in this configuration file:

• Turn sampling on or off, and set the sampling interval.
• Set the buffer size for the socket receive in kilobytes.
• Disable or enable the ability to acquire metrics.
• Specify the TCP/IP port so the SMF records can be obtained from CA SYSVIEW.
• Set the agent antiflood threshold, which specifies the number of traces that are sent to Enterprise Manager by the Cross-Enterprise APM Agent.
• Specify the amount of detail that is logged and the output location.
• If there are multiple IP stacks with different security permissions, specify the specific IP stack to bind the agent to.

The properties file contains explicit detail, examples, and lists the configuration options available to help you when configuring settings for your environment.

Follow these steps:

1. Open the Introscope_Cross-Enterprise_APM.profile file, which is at /root/C7C4950/Cross-Enterprise_APM/config.
2. Edit and save the text file.
