Running the IBM HTTP Server monitoring extension - Documentation for MainView Middleware Monitor 9.1

The kill -9 command. (UNIX only) If you use the kill -9 command to stop the IBM HTTP Server monitoring extension, remove the .lock files (qpea.lock and qpwas.lock).

If the MVMM Extensible Agent or monitoring extension did not shut down gracefully, remove the .lock files (qpea.lock, and qpwasmon.lock) before starting it again. The lock file prevents multiple processes from running at the same time.

BEFORE STARTING: Change to the agent installation directory and enter qpea --status to check if the MVMM Extensible Agent is running. If it is not running, enter qpea --start

When starting the monitoring extension, if you have not installed the monitoring extension as a Windows service, enter qphttp --console to start the monitoring extension in the foreground.
