Chapter 3. Monitoring
Oracle
SOA
Suite 11g
There are several tools and techniques available for administrators to continu-
ously monitor the Oracle SOA Suite 11g infrastructure. Many administrators
choose command-line scripting to monitor portions of the overall environment, re-
sources, and deployments. Alternatively, there are enterprise grade monitoring
products such as Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control, that allow for monit-
oring of multiple environments distributed across an organization, as well as the
transactions spanning across them. However, the scope of this topic is limited
to various scripting techniques and the out-of-the-box Oracle Enterprise Man-
ager Fusion Middleware Control console that provides real-time access to in-flight
transactions, instance states, and performance summaries, keeping administrat-
ors well informed about the behavior of each composite. It provides a rich snap-
shot of important runtime data such as message payloads, throughput, response
times, and fault information that can be drilled down to an individual transaction,
component, or engine.
There are three main areas of monitoring that an Oracle SOA Suite 11g adminis-
trator will typically focus on:
Transactions
Instance state and performance
Infrastructure
Quite simply, if these three areas are covered, you would probably have a good
handle on monitoring your environment in general. The goal is to ensure the over-
all health and dependability of the infrastructure to execute transactions.
Transactional monitoring involves:
Reviewing faulted instances to take action (retry, replay, or ignore).
Searching log files for additional log information on faulted instances.
