The challenge becomes how to make effective use of this massive amount of information and to customize the delivery in a relevant format to users at all levels of the business. These challenges include:
- Collection and effective aggregation of these metrics into summaries to represent service performance and availability
- Efficient distribution and graphic presentation of critical information in a dynamic IT infrastructure
- Consolidation of monitoring and control of a variety of JMX-instrumented applications into a centralized command console
- Establishment of thresholds and automated responses
SL provides a software solution that effectively addresses these challenges. RTView™ is a business information delivery platform that is used by IT Managers to rapidly configure, deploy, maintain and extend real-time and other critical enterprise information systems. This enables management and operational personnel to monitor the health and status of operational components of the business. The features of this platform extensively reduce time, cost, and risk associated with developing these systems.
TIBCO Monitoring Dashboards
RTView for TIBCO provides pre-built TIBCO monitoring frameworks for out-of-box functionality and can also be easily extended to allow users to deploy custom TIBCO monitoring applications - all without programming.
- Monitor TIBCO Enterprise Message Service and Rendezvous with an out-of-the-box monitoring application that is easily customized
- Monitor TIBCO Rendezvous traffic with statistics on a network
- Extend TIBCO Hawk Monitor for infrastructure and instrumented applications with pre-configured monitoring displays or customizable views and powerful drill downs to detailed information
- Pinpoint latency and bottlenecks in TIBCO EMS and Rendezvous messages with the Transaction Message Monitor
JMX Monitoring Dashboards
RTView now has features to facilitate the monitoring of JMX-enabled applications by extending its packaged data sources to include access to JMX MBean attributes and operations.
With RTView, users can now:
- Browse available MBean attributes and assign their values as input to a variety of graphical objects in a web-based dashboard
- Archive MBean data for later analysis
- Aggregate MBean attributes and other data sources to do things like provide subtotals over dimensions or time series
- Synthesize new metrics from collections of individual metrics (e.g. alerts, averages, totals, etc.)
- Define thresholds and actions based on MBean attributes or aggregated data
- Create dashboards for managing specific applications by creating dashboards that include the ability to execute an MBean operation.
- Specify automatic query rates for MBean attributes rather than require user interactive refresh
