Monitoring and measuring performance
The purpose of monitoring is to observe the progress of execution of WebSphere Business Integration applications, and the WebSphere Business Integration system itself, and publish the results of this observation.
Monitoring can be accomplished by:
- Using the Common Event Infrastructure (CEI), a set of modular event processing components that provide functions to capture information about significant system or business occurrences.
- Using the Performance monitoring infrastructure (PMI) to collect data, such as average response time and total number of requests, from various components in a server runtime environment, and organizes the data into a tree structure.
- Using Application response measurement (ARM) to monitor the availability and performance of applications.
- Common Event Infrastructure (CEI)
The Common Event Infrastructure (CEI) is a set of modular event processing components that provide functions to capture information about significant system or business occurrences.- Performance monitoring infrastructure (PMI) for resource adapters
The Performance Monitoring Infrastructure (PMI) is the underlying framework in WebSphere Application Server that gathers performance data from various runtime resources such as adapters.- Application response measurement (ARM)
Application response measurement (ARM), an API jointly developed by an industry partnership, monitors the availability and performance of applications. ARM is an approved standard of The Open Group.- First failure data capture (FFDC)
First failure data capture (FFDC) provides the instrumentation for exception handlers (catch blocks) to record exceptions that are thrown by a component.- Monitoring Inbound Events
The adapter supports monitoring inbound events from the EIS server, in addition to the other events you are monitoring using IBM Business Monitor or WebSphere Business Events.
