To configure Prometheus with WebLogic without using Git, you can follow these

steps:

1. Download Prometheus:
Visit the Prometheus download page and download the appropriate binary for your
operating system.
Extract the downloaded file to a directory of your choice.

2.Set Up WebLogic Monitoring Exporter:


Download the WebLogic Monitoring Exporter from the Oracle website.
Deploy the WebLogic Monitoring Exporter as a web application on your WebLogic
Server. This exporter will scrape runtime metrics from WebLogic and expose them to
Prometheus.

3.Configure the Exporter:


Create a configuration file for the WebLogic Monitoring Exporter. This file should
specify the metrics you want to collect.
Example configuration:

metricsNameSnakeCase: truequeries:- key: namekeyName: nameapplicationRuntimes:key:


namekeyName: appcomponentRuntimes:type: WebAppComponentRuntimeprefix:
webapp_config_key: namevalues: [deploymentState, sessionsOpenedTotalCount]

4.Configure Prometheus:
Create a Prometheus configuration file (prometheus.yml) to scrape metrics from the
WebLogic Monitoring Exporter.
Example configuration:
global:scrape_interval: 15sscrape_configs:- job_name: 'weblogic'static_configs:-
targets: ['<weblogic_host>:<exporter_port>']

5.Run Prometheus:
Start Prometheus by running the following command in the directory where you
extracted Prometheus:
./prometheus --config.file=prometheus.yml

6.Access Prometheus Dashboard:


Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:9090 to access the
Prometheus dashboard.

To configure Prometheus with WebLogic without using Git on the server, you can
follow these steps. The aim is to integrate WebLogic Server (WLS) with Prometheus
for monitoring without relying on Git to download tools or files. Here's a guide
that walks through installing the WebLogic Monitoring Exporter and configuring
Prometheus to scrape WebLogic metrics.

### Step 1: Download WebLogic Monitoring Exporter


The WebLogic Monitoring Exporter is a Java agent that collects metrics from
WebLogic and exposes them to Prometheus.

1. **Download WebLogic Exporter:**


- Visit the official [WebLogic Monitoring
Exporter](https://github.com/oracle/weblogic-monitoring-exporter) page on your
local machine and download the `.jar` file for the exporter.
- If you cannot download via Git on the server, you can download the file on
your local machine and transfer it to the server using tools like `scp` (Secure
Copy) or any other file transfer method available (like SFTP).

2. **Transfer the `.jar` to your WebLogic server:**


- Use `scp` to transfer the file to the WebLogic server:
```bash
scp weblogic-monitoring-exporter.war user@server:/path/to/target-directory
```

### Step 2: Configure WebLogic Monitoring Exporter

1. **Create Configuration File:**


You'll need a YAML configuration file that defines the WebLogic metrics you want
to expose to Prometheus.

Example `metrics-config.yaml`:
```yaml
metricsNameSnakeCase: true
restPort: 7001
queries:
- key: name
keyName: server
applicationRuntimes:
key: name
keyName: app
componentRuntimes:
type: WebAppComponentRuntime
prefix: webapp_config_
key: name
values: [deploymentState, openSessionsCurrentCount]
```

Transfer this file to your server via `scp` or create it directly on the server.

2. **Deploy the Exporter as a WebLogic Application:**


You can deploy the WebLogic Monitoring Exporter as a WAR file on the server.
Here’s how you can deploy it:

```bash
cd /path/to/weblogic-monitoring-exporter/
java -jar weblogic-monitoring-exporter.jar deploy --admin-url=http://weblogic-
server:7001 --username=weblogic --password=your_password --targets=server_name
metrics-config.yaml
```

3. **Verify Exporter Deployment:**


Once the exporter is deployed, you can access the metrics at:

```
http://<weblogic-server>:<port>/wls-exporter/metrics
```

This will return metrics in a format that Prometheus can scrape.

### Step 3: Install and Configure Prometheus

1. **Download Prometheus:**
If Prometheus isn’t installed yet, you can download it from the [Prometheus
official website](https://prometheus.io/download/) and install it on your server.

2. **Configure Prometheus:**
Edit the Prometheus configuration file (typically `prometheus.yml`) to include
your WebLogic server.

Example of Prometheus `prometheus.yml`:


```yaml
scrape_configs:
- job_name: 'weblogic'
metrics_path: '/wls-exporter/metrics'
static_configs:
- targets: ['<weblogic-server>:<port>']
```

Replace `<weblogic-server>` and `<port>` with your WebLogic server's hostname/IP


and port.

3. **Start Prometheus:**
Start Prometheus using the following command:
```bash
./prometheus --config.file=prometheus.yml
```

Prometheus should now be scraping metrics from WebLogic.

### Step 4: Visualizing Data in Grafana (Optional)

If you want to visualize your data, you can install Grafana and set up a Prometheus
data source.

1. Install Grafana on the same server or another server.


2. Add Prometheus as a data source.
3. Use available WebLogic dashboards for Grafana to visualize the data.

---

Now, Prometheus should be collecting metrics from WebLogic, and you can visualize
them or configure alerts based on the collected data.
