Introduction
PSDN Webinar Goal

• VALUE
• Show how to gain better visibility into your SOA
  environment (Sonic ESB) using Actional for SOA
  Operations
• HOW-TO
• Show how to install and configure Actional to
  work with Sonic ESB

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.

5
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
