By monitoring SOA infrastructure, you can do the following:
- Monitor the BPM composite applications deployed to the SOA infrastructure
- Monitor SOA infrastructure processing requests
- Monitor the Service and Reference Binding components
- Log in with the WebLogic user to
http://localhost:7001/. - Expand soa-infra | default and then click on the deployed project, SalesToContractDemo.
- This will open the composite dashboard.
You can find that recent running instances are displayed along with their details, such as Instance ID, status, time, and so on.
- Uncheck Show Only Running Instance, if you want to list instances which are not running.
- You can recover from faults identified as recoverable at the SOA infrastructure, SOA composite application, service engine, and service component levels.
- In the Error Message column, click on an error message to display the complete information about the fault.
- If the fault is identified as recoverable, click on the Recover Now link to perform fault recovery.
- You can retire the composite by clicking on the Retire button on the SOA infrastructure dashboard. Retiring the composite will not allow new instances to be created; however, old instances will be completed.
- You can shut down the composite by clicking on the Shut Down button on the SOA infrastructure dashboard. Shutting down the composite will not allow new instances to be created, and processing of existing instances will be stopped.
- Click on the Settings button to set:
- Composite Level Audit Levels
- Payload Validations
- Enable/Disable BAM Monitoring
- To monitor processing requests, right click on SOA-Infrastructure.
- Select Monitoring | Request processing.
This will open the request processing page which enables you to monitor the average request processing time for both synchronous and asynchronous messages, active requests, requests processed, and faulted requests in the service engines and service infrastructure.
- Right-click on SOA-infrastructure and select Service and References to monitor the service and binding components used in all SOA composite applications deployed to the SOA infrastructure. Services provide the outside world with an entry point to the SOA composite application. References enable messages to be sent from the SOA composite application to external services in the outside world.
How it works...
The SOA infrastructure processing requests have metrics for message delivery between the service engines, service infrastructure, and binding components. You can find details about the names and types of the services, the SOA composite applications in which the services are used, the total number of messages processed, the average processing time, and the number of faults occurring in the services.
