Setting up TIBCO BusinessWorks Container Edition Application Monitoring on Cloud Foundry

The following steps describe how to set up a TIBCO BusinessWorks Container Edition application on the Cloud Foundry.

Before you begin
  1. Ensure that you install the Cloud Foundry Command Line Interface (CLI) successfully. Next, push the created TIBCO BusinessWorks Container Edition build pack to the Cloud Foundry environment.
  2. Download the TIBCO BusinessWorks Container Edition monitoring zip file bwce_mon-<version>.zip from http://edelivery.tibco.com.
  3. Ensure the MySQL, PostgreSQL, or MS SQL Server service is created on Cloud Foundry.
    Procedure
  1. Extract the bwce_mon-<version>.zip file.
  2. Navigate to the bwce_mon directory.
  3. Bind the service created earlier to the monitoring application. You must configure manifest.yml of the monitoring application to persist node registry information. You have to specify a database service and an environment variable for the MySQL database.

    Note: The environment variable for application monitoring has been changed from persistence_DB to PERSISTENCE_TYPE.
    Note: For PostgreSQL or MS SQL or Oracle databases, ensure that the PERSISTENCE_TYPE environment variable value is set to postgres or mssql or oracle.
    Note: For the offline nodejs build pack uploaded on VMware Tanzu, edit the manifest.yml file with the uploaded build pack name. For example:
     buildpack: nodejs_buildpack
  4. Runcf push -f manifest.yml to push the BWCE monitoring application on the Cloud Foundry.
    After the TIBCO BusinessWorks Container Edition application is running on Cloud Foundry, you can access the URL from a browser and monitor the application.
