13. End-to-End Middleware-centric Monitoring
Enables users to be proactive by understanding the impact of middleware
problems on critical applications with application and service-centric views.
Provides visibility into middleware “black boxes” that can appear opaque.
• Ability to monitor dependencies and which middleware
technologies and components support a critical
business service
• Understand if a problem occurs in an application, how
that will affect other components used by the service
• Correlate information across multiple middleware
platforms
Monitoring is a Critical Enabler
Why is monitoring so important – and is it becoming more important or less important
As application stacks become more dynamic and deployment options increase, ensuring application uptime becomes more challenging
Monitoring of application and service components are often an afterthought with no centralized monitoring & alerting
Monitoring, when present, tends to be siloed around specific technologies, often as part of the admin tool
Support teams are often stuck in a reactive mode rather than proactively responding to issues early
So monitoring is a Critical Enabler because it helps you adopt modern integration technologies with lower risk
We are seeing a lot of innovation here this week. AND in order to take advantage of a new technology you need to be able to monitor it.
One of our customers, a large US airline company, told us last month:
“The first thing management asks when we want to adopt a new technology is ‘how are you going to monitor it?’ If you don’t have monitoring for that, it’s a showstopper. “
So monitoring is becoming more important, not less at the same time that architectures are becoming more elastic and dynamic.
We have presented at previous TIBCO conferences with Wells Fargo and Citigroup on the value of monitoring and how to build a business case. What we learned is there are real, tangible benefits that can be used to justify monitoring investment. The two primary benefits you would use to build your business case are reduced outages and improved MTTR.
Turnkey monitoring and alerting: pre-built displays and pre-configured alerts
Version 7 was just announced in the past week. Available on your TIBCO download site
New html 5 UI
New alert detail and vastly improved usability
New Component Overview displays to see the most important key metrics, alerts, and historical trends for each monitored technology
Used for configuring solution packages, connections, and data historian and compaction rules.
Improved user experience
Less prone to errors
The new configuration year has a number of improvement
But some developers still prefer property files and can continue to do so
To summarize:
By turnkey we mean all of the displays are pre-built. All of the alerts are pre-built and configured. All that is required is some configuration using our configuration UI and you are up and running in just a few minutes.
Now I want to focus on SL’s RTView Enterprise platform. Think of it as a central server platform with different technology monitors acting like plugins.
RTView Enterprise – sold by SL.
TIBCO RTView monitors can server as plugins to RTView Enterprise
2 different approaches to alerting: Component-based and Service-based
Component-based is simple and effective. Alerts by technology for an operations user.
Service-based alerting is available in SL’s RTView Enterprise. Its great because it can really cut down on alert overload and fatigue. It enables app support teams to only get the alerts they care about and to prioritize alerts on business criticality of the service.
Predict infrastructure at risk within an application or service
We introduced this last year but there is a lot of new capability in RTView Cloud
