Notes:

1. The PMI component must be enabled for the above steps to work. It is enabled by default and configured with PMI Basic. To check if it has been disabled, double check if "Enable Performance Monitoring Infrastructure (PMI)" is checked.
2. There is no way to automatically start PMI logging when a JVM is restarted. Logging must be manually restarted after a JVM restart either through the steps above or through wsadmin scripts.
3. For details on metrics and analysis, see the Performance Monitoring chapter.
