We have an issue in using Hobbit to monitor a system of WebLogic and Oracle application servers. Hobbit is monitoring each of our 4 WebLogic servers on a regular (30/60 second) basis. By default, WebLogic creates a unique HTTPSession when each request is served; this is keyed with a JSESSIONID cookie which is sent back with the reply. A browser, or our load generator (Grinder) retains the cookie.
Hobbit seems to be discarding these cookies; the result is that each request is generating a new Session. This has little performance overhead, but serves to confuse our WebLogic statistics; we can not tell how many 'real' users there are logged on to our system, because they are masked by 700+ 'hobbit' sessions.
It is possible to have Hobbit retain these cookies and send with subsequent requests to the same URL?
