Overriding Scan Settings for a Managed Instance

At the managed instance-level, change the domain scan frequency and the domain scan paths that WebLogic Management uses when scanning for new WebLogic domains and changes to existing domains. The scan settings for the managed instance override the scan settings for the compartment.

Important

When you change the default scan settings at the managed instance-level, if a server is added on a different managed instance its status could show up as UNKNOWN. This happens when a service-level scan detects a server on the managed instance before the managed instance conducts its scan. After the managed instance conducts its scan, the missing information such as host, server attributes and server check is reported.

Using the Console

  1. Open the navigation menu and click Observability & Management. Under WebLogic Management, click Managed instances.
  2. Under List scope, select the compartment that contains the managed instances.
  3. (Optional) Under Filters, select the following option to refine the list of managed instances:
    • Plugin status: Lists only the managed instances with the specified state.
  4. Under Hostname, click a managed instance.
  5. Click Modify settings.
  6. Under Domain scan settings, change the frequency of scans or the domain home paths. These changes only apply to this managed instance.
    • WebLogic domain scan frequency (in hours): Enter the number of hours that represent how often the plugin scans for WebLogic installations.
    • Domain home path(s): Enter the file system path to scan (one-level deep) for domains, for example, /u01/data/.
    • Add another path: (Optional) Click to enter more file system search paths.
  7. Click Save changes.
