Monitoring in Oracle SOA Suite 12c enables a closed loop governance by connecting design time to runtime. Once the services, their metadata, and the associated policies are deployed, they are automatically monitored and managed by the service infrastructure that regularly updates the management console with a scorecard of the runtime metrics that are collected.
Oracle SOA Suite 12c runs on top of numerous infrastructure components that include a variety of operating systems, database management systems, and Java EE compliant application servers. All Oracle SOA Suite 12c components have specific functions that are used to administer and manage parts of a SOA infrastructure, each from a different perspective or for a different audience. In order to address the monitoring and management challenges described earlier, several areas need to be considered:
- Monitoring solutions need to be provided at an enterprise level that encompass all the related applications. This can be as fine grained as monitoring composite endpoints to the overall operational health of the infrastructure.
- Real-time monitoring and proactive alerting based on runtime statistics of the configured Key Performance Indicator (KPI), availability, performance metrics, and service-level agreements should be implemented.
- Reporting important information in the message (that is, payload), captured as a part of the reporting functionality, can aid middleware administrators in better decision making and troubleshooting.
