This chapter provides the following information for each of the BEA WebLogic Managed Server policies:
Brief description of the policy
Summary of the policy's main properties
Default values for the policy: parameters with their default values and objects excluded by default
Impact of the policy violation
Action to perform when the violation occurs
The BEA WebLogic Managed Server only has configuration policies.
This policy verifies whether the BEA WebLogic Server Domain Administration Port is enabled or not. An Administration Port limits all administrative traffic between server instances in a WebLogic Server domain to a single port.
When used in conjunction with a connection filter, you can specify that a WebLogic Server instance accepts administrative requests only from a known set of machines or subnets and only on a single port.
Policy Summary
The following table lists the policy's main properties.
| Severity | Category | Target Type | Versions Affected | Policy Rule EvaluationFoot 1 | Automatically Enabled? | Alert Message |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Critical | Configuration | BEA WebLogic Managed Server | BEA WebLogic Server 7.1 or later | The underlying metric has a collection frequency of once every 24 hours. | Yes | BEA WebLogic Server Domain doesn't have its Administration Port Enabled. |
Defaults
Parameters and Their Default Values
None
Objects Excluded by Default
None
Impact of Violation
It enables you to separate administration traffic from application traffic in your domain. The administration port accepts only secure and SSL traffic, and all connections through the port require authentication by a server administrator.
Action
Enable Domain Wide Administration Port. For more information, refer to the BEA WebLogic documentation.
This policy verifies whether the BEA WebLogic Server Performance Pack is enabled or not.
Policy Summary
The following table lists the policy's main properties.
| Severity | Category | Target Type | Versions Affected | Policy Rule EvaluationFoot 1 | Automatically Enabled? | Alert Message |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Critical | Configuration | BEA WebLogic Managed Server | BEA WebLogic Server 7.1 or later | The underlying metric has a collection frequency of once every 24 hours. | Yes | BEA WebLogic Server doesn't have its Performance Pack Enabled. |
Defaults
Parameters and Their Default Values
None
Objects Excluded by Default
None
Impact of Violation
Benchmarks show major performance improvements in WebLogic Server when you use the performance pack for your platform. Performance packs use a platform-optimized (native) socket multiplexor to improve server performance.
Action
To use a performance pack, make sure the NativeIOEnabled attribute of the Server element is defined in your config.xml file. The default config.xml file that shipped with your distribution enables this attribute by default: NativeIOEnabled=true. For more information, refer to the BEA WebLogic documentation.
This policy verifies whether the BEA WebLogic Server is running in Production Mode or not.
Policy Summary
The following table lists the policy's main properties.
| Severity | Category | Target Type | Versions Affected | Policy Rule EvaluationFoot 1 | Automatically Enabled? | Alert Message |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Critical | Configuration | BEA WebLogic Managed Server | BEA WebLogic Server 7.1 or later | The underlying metric has a collection frequency of once every 24 hours. | Yes | BEA WebLogic Server is not running under production mode. |
Defaults
Parameters and Their Default Values
None
Objects Excluded by Default
None
Impact of Violation
WebLogic Server uses different default values for various services depending on the type of environment you specify. You can indicate whether a domain is to be used in a development environment or a production environment.
Action
Start the BEA WebLogic servers by enabling Production Mode. For more information, refer to the BEA WebLogic documentation.
