    Customized monitoring

    lafbarbosa

      Hi people,

      I've seen something about monitoring of JBossESB in the Monitoring Guide file. But, I was thinking about to create another kinds of monitoring and more, I was thinking about to access that information showed in the charts from my web application.

      Is it possible to access, for example, the Servlets that get these informations?

      Thanks in advance!

      Regards,

      Luiz

          It would be really nice if there was some way to do this. I am working on an auditing system for our product (based on JBossESB) right now and it would be great to have hooks for things like when a service is invoked, when each action is invoked, some type of service complete event, etc. I didn't see an easy way to handle those things other than adding custom actions to each action chain, which ends up cluttering the descriptor. Some kind of event-based API for auditing would be cool. I think that there is some level of stats tracking at the MBean level as-is, but we need a more detailed audit of the path that messages take through the system.

            As Derek said, most everything is MBean based - if you go to jmx-console (http://localhost:8080/jmx-console on most systems), you'll see all of the ESB related MBeans under the jboss.esb heading. Most of what you see is dependent upon the names of your services and actions of your deployed ESB packages, so I'm hesitant to list anything out here.

            Derek - definitely go ahead and add feature enhancement JIRAs for what you are looking for. In the short term, you could always write your own action class that has these features and extend that class with your other actions - and that would not clutter the description.

              Derek, all of what you want should be addressed at the governance level, which includes monitoring and management. We'll be driving enhancements around this over the coming year, but there are definitely some short-term updates we can make relatively easily now.

                Sounds great! We are using a custom action approach (as suggested earlier in the thread) for now just to get us by, but we would be glad to help on the implementation if you need it.

                  Thanks. Look out for updates to the SOA-G project pages soon.
