Setting Up TIBCO BusinessWorks™ Container Edition Application Monitoring on Docker

The following steps describe how to set up TIBCO BusinessWorks Container Edition application on Docker.

1. Extract the bwce_mon-<version>.zip file.
2. Navigate to the bwce_mon directory and build the docker image by running the following command.

   docker build -t bwce/monitoring:latest .

   
3. Ensure that MySQL, PostgreSQL or MS SQL Server is running and the user is created with all the privileges. You can use a standalone Docker to run the monitoring application by passing the two environment variables.
   1. You must provide the following two environment variables to start the application monitoring successfully.

      PERSISTENCE_TYPE
      DB_URL

   2. To run the monitoring application on Docker container, run the following command.
      For MySQL

      docker run -p 8080:8080 -e PERSISTENCE_TYPE="mysql" -e DB_URL="mysql://<user name:password>@<machine:port/database>" --name <containerName> <monitoringImageName:tag>

      For PostgreSQL

      docker run -p 8080:8080 -e PERSISTENCE_TYPE="postgres" -e DB_URL="postgresql://<user name:password>@<machine:port/database>" --name <containerName> <monitoringImageName:tag>

      For MS SQL Server

      docker run -p 8080:8080 -e PERSISTENCE_TYPE="mssql" -e DB_URL="mssql://<user name:password>@<machine:port/database>" --name <containerName> <monitoringImageName:tag>

   
4. Run the following command to view the running container.

   docker ps -a

   
5. After the monitoring container runs successfully, you can access the monitoring UI by using following URL in the browser:
   http://<docker-host-ip>:8080
   

   Note: The environment variable for application monitoring has been changed to PERSISTENCE_TYPE.
