  • 1.  ACC APMIA EPA Bundle

    Posted May 22, 2018 05:10 PM

    Is there a way to create a ACC bundle for APMIA with EPA-style scripts? I have been trying this all day, but all my attempts either lead to the bundles being rejected by ACC or ignored upon packaging.

     

    I have a running .tar.gz extension that APMIA is happy with, but the objective is to have this extension as a bundle in ACC.

     

    Can this be done?

    There are instructions in the wiki for this. Additionally, if you're using Perl and the provided modules, you'll need to include them in your IAgent package or with your custom bundle.

     

    Add Custom Bundles - CA Application Performance Management - 10.7 - CA Technologies Documentation 

    Convert a Standalone EPAgent Script to Run On the Infrastructure Agent - CA Application Performance Management - 10.7 - …

    I am aware of this documentation, but it didn't work for me. I could "convert" my perl scripts (well, actually it is your perl scripts for rhel monitoring) so they run in APMIA if I manually copy them to extensions/deploy.

     

    I can upload this bundle to ACC as long as I leave specificationVersion 1. When I add this to an infrastructure agent, nothing happens - the scripts are nowhere in the agent package.

     

    When I change bundle.properties to use "module" property names (i.e. the ones with an additional name component like "introscope.epagent.stateless.EpaSamples.names") those properties are merged into IntroscopeAgent.profile, but again nothing happens, no scripts in my package when I add this bundle.

     

    When I change it to specificationVersion 2 ACC complains that the directory structure is invalid (just metadata, lib, ... are allowed).

     

    Any hint what I am doing wrong? Or do you have a sample for a ACC bundle for APMIA with scripts I can check my bundle against?

    I'll take a look and report back. What version of APM?

    Thanks for taking care of this.

     

    It is 10.7.0 (i.e. no HF3 in this installation yet)

    I don't mean to be pushy, I know that you are for sure very busy. Is managing script extensions for APIM with ACC is a supported scenario? If yes, I can also file a support ticket.

    Yes, sorry it's taking so long. please feel free to open a ticket.

    I need to start creating bundles for my EPA plugins anyways to convert them for use with IA. ;-)

    Finally got it running. You will need ACC 10.7 HF10 (which is a newer hotfix than SP1).

     

    What needs to be done is basically to place the scripts into "lib", provide bundle metadata in "metadata" and a bundle.properties. 

     

    Many thanks to Alain from CA Support!

     

    I should add that the scripts still have one or two issues, but those are not related to APMIA.
