Steps to Configure an Email Alert for Checking State Of Server

Step1) Create a Directory somewhere in your file system like : C:\WLST Step2) Write a Properties file domain.properties inside C:\WLST like following:
01 admin.username=weblogic 02 admin.password=weblogic 03 04 total.number.of.servers=3 05 06 server.name.1=AdminServer 07 server.url.1=t3://10.10.10.10:7001 08 09 server.name.2=MS-1 10 server.url.2=t3://10.10.10.10:7003 11 12 server.name.3=MS-2 13 server.url.3=t3://10.10.10.10:7005 14 # Check Server State At following interval in Seconds to check the State of the Server 16 check.interval=10 15

Step-3) Create a WLST Script somewhere in your file system with some name like serverStateChecker.py inside C:\WLST contents will be something like following:

serverName=configProps.get("server.name." + str(i)) print 'Sorry !!! Unable to Connect to Server ' , serverName

today = Date() stateMessage = 'The ' + serverName + ' May Be DOWN.' + ' At Time: 52 ' + today.toString() 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 ####################################################################### print 'Sleeping for ', int(checkingIntervalSeconds) , ' Seconds...' print '' interval=int(checkingIntervalSeconds) Thread.sleep(interval*1000) sendMailString() cmd = "rm -f serverState_file" os.system(cmd) cmd = "echo " + stateMessage +" >> serverState_file" os.system(cmd) i = i +1

Step-4) Open a command prompt and then run the setWLSEnv.cmd or setWLSEnv.sh to set the CLASSPATH and PATH variables. Better you do echo %CLASSPATH% or echo $CLASSPATH to see whether the CLASSPATH is set properly or not. If you see an Empty Classpath even after running the setWLSEnv.sh then please refer to the Note mentioned at Step3) in the Following post: http://middlewaremagic.com/weblogic/?page_id=1492 Step-5) Now run the WLST Script in the same command prompt using the following command:
1 java weblogic.WLST serverStateChecker.py

You will see the following kind of results in the command prompt
01 Initializing WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST) ... 02 $ java weblogic.WLST serverStateChecker.py 03 04 Initializing WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST) ... 05 06 Welcome to WebLogic Server Administration Scripting Shell 07 08 Type help() for help on available commands 09 10 Checking All Servers State Details
