Configuring TIBCO ActiveMatrix Dashboard

If you choose to install the TIBCO ActiveMatrix Dashboard application, you need to configure TIBCO ActiveMatrix Dashboard. The TIBCO ActiveMatrix Dashboard is a web based dashboard for managing and monitoring the ActiveMatrix environment.

You can use TIBCO Configuration Tool to configure the Service Performance Manager server. TIBCO Configuration Tool is launched using TIBCO_HOME/tct/<version>/TIBCOConfigurationTool.

When TIBCO Configuration Tool starts, the initial data is loaded from TIBCO_HOME/tct/components/shared/1.0.0/plugins/com.tibco.tct.spm_1.0.0.00X.

Note: TIBCO Configuration Tool does not recognize the changes made directly to the spmdashboard-config.properties file. Hence it is recommended to always use TIBCO Configuration Tool to make changes to the configuration.

Alternatively, you can manually change the properties specified in the SPM_HOME/config/spmdashboard-config.properties file. If you do not want to use TIBCO Configuration Tool to configure the TIBCO ActiveMatrix Dashboard, you can override any default value of a property from the spmdashboard-config.properties file:

Procedure

  1. Open the spmdashboard-config.properties file in the SPM_HOME/config folder for editing.
  2. Uncomment the required property and specify a new value.

Result

Note: By default, TIBCO ActiveMatrix Dashboard listens on port 8080. You can change this number by using TIBCO Configuration Tool.

To manually change the port number:

  1. Open the SPM_HOME/amxdashboard/tomcat/conf/server.xml file.
  2. Change the port number in the following code snippet:
    <Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1" connectionTimeout="20000" redirectPort="8443" />

Before going through the procedure, ensure that you go through the guidelines in Guidelines for Running TIBCO Configuration Tool in the GUI Mode.
