How to Monitor ManageEngine Password Manager Pro (PMP) On-Premises Performance Using ManageEngine Applications Manager

ManageEngine Password Manager Pro (PMP) is built with Java, allowing you to monitor its performance using the APM Insight Java Agent. The same steps can also be used for ManageEngine Privileged Access Management (PAM360).
Manual Steps
Guided Installation Steps
Manual Steps
Follow the below steps to download and set up the Java agent manually.
Notes
Note: All the below mentioned steps refer to the ManageEngine Applications Manager to which the monitoring data is to be sent.
1. Download the appropriate APM Insight Java Agent (apminsight-javaagent.zip) file.
2. Extract the downloaded file (apminsight-javaagent.zip) in the server where the Password Manager Pro(PMP) is installed. (e.g. C:\Program Files\ManageEngine\APMJavaAgent)
3. From the extracted files, open a file named "apminsight.conf".
  1. Update the URL of the Applications Manager (to which the monitoring data is to be sent) in the key "apm.host" 
  2. Update the license key of the Applications Manager (to which the monitoring data is to be sent) in the key "license.key"
    1. Info
      e.g. license.key=APMI_95ef70db7c637dd75f1b922bd7c9725d1ab59785987a35328af380447bf81e3f
    2. To fetch the license key:  Applications Manager UI > "APM" tab > "Add New Monitor" > "Java" > Copy the license key present in the page
  3. Specify the name of the PMP application and the port on which the PMP server runs. This name appears in the Applications Manager UI.
    1. application.name=PMP Server
    2. agent.server.port=7272
  4. Save and close the "apminsight.conf" file.

Guided Installation Steps
Follow the guided installation steps to download and set up the Java agent automatically.
 Once the above steps are completed, we need to map this agent to the Password manager Pro (PMP), which you want to monitor. Please follow the steps below, based on the installation type:

Password Manager Pro(PMP) - Service Startup:

Windows installations
Linux Installations
Windows installations
1. Navigate to the <PRODUCT_HOME>\conf folder and open the wrapper.conf file in a text editor.
2. Add the Java agent property to the wrapper.conf file under the key wrapper.java.additional.<argument_number>. Ensure that <argument_number> is unique and does not already exist in the file. Use the following format:
Info
wrapper.java.additional.28 = -javaagent:"<agent_directory_full_path>\apminsight-javaagent.jar"
Notes
Note: Replace <agent_directory_full_path> with the full directory path where the APM Insight agent is installed. 


3. Restart the Password Manager Pro/ ManageEngine PAM360 service to start monitoring the application
Linux Installations
1. Navigate to the <PRODUCT_HOME>\conf folder and open the wrapper_lin.conf file in a text editor.
2. Add the Java agent property to the wrapper_lin.conf file under the key wrapper.java.additional.<argument_number>. Ensure that <argument_number> is unique and does not already exist in the file. Use the following format:
Info
wrapper.java.additional.28 = -javaagent:"<agent_directory_full_path>\apminsight-javaagent.jar"
Notes
Note: Replace <agent_directory_full_path> with the full directory path where the APM Insight agent is installed.
