This section describes the required configurations as well as the optional configurations available for TIBCO FTL in the RTView Configuration Application.

Enabling Data Collection in RTView Configuration Application

To configure data connections for the Solution Package for TIBCO FTL:

• Navigate to the Solution Package Configuration > TIBCO FTL > CONNECTIONS tab.

• Provide the full path to the directory containing the TIBCO FTL jar files in the Classpath field. Use forward slashes in path name. Enclose environment variables with %% (even on UNIX). This is required to connect to TIBCO FTL. For example:

/tibco/ftl/5.2/lib

or

c:\tibco\ftl\5.2\lib

• Click the  icon in the Connections region.

The Add Connection dialog opens.

• Specify the connection information for your TIBCO FTL realm server and SAVE where:

Name: The name for the connection. This entry is required. Use a semicolon-separated list format for multiple connections.

Primary URL: The primary URL for the connection (for example, http://myhost:8080).

Backup URL: The failover URL for the primary connection (for example, http://myhost:8090).

Primary Cores: The number of primary cores.

Backup Cores: The number of backup cores.

Username: The username is used when creating the connection. This field is optional.

Password: This password is used when creating the connection. This field is optional. By default, the password entered is hidden. Click the  icon to view the password text.

The newly created connection displays in the Connections section.

• Repeat for each TIBCO FTL realm server to be monitored.
• If you want to modify the default values for the update rates for the TIBCO FTL caches, you can update the default polling rates in Solution Package Configuration > TIBCO FTL > DATA COLLECTION tab > Poll Rates.
• Modify the value for the Poll Rate field to modify the default polling rate for the TftlClient, TftlMetrics, TftlServer, TftlSatellite, TftlGroupServer, and TftlGroupServerGroup caches.
