Java Agent not reporting Hardware Metrics

[Shamika.Smith]

I have newly implemented using the Java AppServerAgent on our application web servers, but the out of the box agent is not reporting any hardware metrics.

Shamika,

The hardware metrics are colected by the machine agent, which you need to run as a separate process.

Warm regards,

Ahhh... So I was reading that wrong.  I thought that Server Visibility was what is license seperately and that's what you needed for the Machine agent.

After attempting to show you my point using the documentation, I read it a few times to determine that even without Server Visibility enabled you would need the machine agent installed to get the hardware metrics.

Thanks for that tidbit.

From the doc:
You can view basic machine metrics in the following locations. These do not require Server Visibility to be enabled.
