PSDN Webinar Goal


System vs. Service Level Monitoring

System Monitoring

Focuses on the underlying infrastructure, service monitoring focuses on the functional layer of services.

Service monitoring

Helps you to trace service interactions, understand the dependencies that exist between the different services and to quickly identify and pinpoint the root causes of performance bottlenecks or failures.


System Level Monitoring

Sonic Management Console• Metrics and Notifications

Sonic Event Monitor• Metrics and notifications collection system

• Forwards collected metrics and notifications to any desired logging destination

– Uses Log4J, an industry-wide standard for logging

Logging destinations can be file, e-mail, database, etc.


Service and Process Level Monitoring

Actional for SOA Operations• Trend and Performance Analysis

– Provides detailed visibility into service utilization, across the entire heterogeneous service oriented architecture

• Service Level Management– Provides centralized policy management with distributed

event monitoring and policy evaluation Ability to detect service performance anomalies at a very

early stage and quickly resolve the issue,• Debugging and Exception Management

– Within Actional ESB faults and rejections will be recognized as faults

– A policy can be defined to alert you whenever such a fault occurs for a specific target
