WebLogic application server discovery
Discovery creates or updates a CMDB record when it detects an instance of an Oracle or BEA Weblogic application server running on a Windows or Linux system.
Requirements
- For Windows
- PowerShell must be enabled on the MID Server.
- The WebLogic Administration Server instances that start via WebLogic NodeManager must have the -Dweblogic.RootDirectory=<path> parameter defined upon server startup. The Windows credential must also have read permissions on the
config.xmlfile.
For Linux
- Discovery requires the use of these Bourne shell commands:
findcatdirname
- WebLogic administration server instances started via NodeManager must have the -Dweblogic.RootDirectory=<path> parameter defined and visible through the Linux ps process stat command (for each AdminServer) for the rest of the Linux WebLogic application server and web application information to be populated in the CMDB.
The following configuration must be set on the sudorers file:
User ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /bin/sh *Useris the user name on the SSH credential that you create for this discovery.This command must be able to be run:
/bin/sh /tmp/snc-*-findcat.sh * *"Do not make any changes to
findcat.sh.If you are using probes, not patterns, for Weblogic discovery, the Linux - Weblogic - Find config.xml probe must specify this parameter and value: must_sudo
=true
- Discovery requires the use of these Bourne shell commands:
Note: For information on Probe to Pattern migration see the knowledge article KB0694477.
Credentials
Classifier, pattern, and probes
| Classifier | Trigger probes | Pattern |
|---|---|---|
| Weblogic Server | - Horizontal Pattern: launches patterns - Windows - Weblogic - Get web.xml\* - Windows - Weblogic - Find config.xml\* - Linux - Weblogic - Find config.xml\* | WebLogic |
*For new instances, these probes are inactive on the classifier. Discovery uses patterns for discovery.
To use patterns, verify that the correct pattern is specified in the horizontal pattern probe on the classifier. See Add the Horizontal Pattern probe to a classifier for instructions.

Example weblogic relationships
- Add sudo access for the Weblogic - Find config.xml probe
If you are not using the Weblogic pattern, you can add sudo privileges to the Linux, the Weblogic - Find config.xml probe. - Identifying Windows WebLogic application servers
If you are not using the Weblogic pattern, Discovery follows this process when it uses the Windows - Active Processes or Linux - Active Processes probes.
