Monitoring
This form of architecture may be referred to as an event-driven SOA where the events
drive the design of the architecture, and the numerous services make up the flow of the dis-
parate events that drive the workflow; please refer to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event-
driven_SOA
,
. In an event-driven workflow, business users monitor the events.
In this case, the events are messages; one way to monitor the messages in the queues is to
examine the queues. If SQL Server queues are being used, then the tables can be examined.
If MSMQ is being used, then products such as MSMQCommander (

sverrehundeide/MSMQCommander
)
can be used to examine the messages.
There are many examples to look at MSMQ and SQL Server queues. Another one can be
found at

that will work like the
following:
However, the preferred method is to use the NSB ServicePulse tool found at
ht-
tp://particular.net/servicepulse
,
which can check the heartbeat of an NSB-hosted service by
accessing the browser at
http://localhost:9090/#/dashboard
. ServicePulse is
monitored through a web browser.
