Using Asadmin Commands

`set-metrics-configuration`

Usage

asadmin> set-metrics-configuration
        [--enabled=true|false]
        [--securityenabled=true|false]
        [--roles=<role-list>]
        [--dynamic=true|false]
        [--endpoint=<context-root[default:metrics]>]
        [--target=<instance-name[default:server]>]
        [--virtualservers=<virtualserver-list>]

Aim: Provides a way to set the configuration of the metrics service of the targeted config.

Security Configuration

By default, Metrics endpoints binds to root context application which is default-web-module (docroot) system application and default-web-module application uses default realm (file) of server. If user application deployed with the empty context-root then the security configuration of the deployed application will be shared by Metrics endpoints.
