Business-level monitoring
You can configure your message flow to emit event messages that can be used to support transaction monitoring and auditing, and business process monitoring.
Before you start:
- To learn about the basic concepts of monitoring, see Monitoring basics.
- To decide whether to do transaction monitoring or business monitoring, see Monitoring scenarios.
- To decide whether to use monitoring properties or a monitoring profile, see Deciding how to configure monitoring events for message flows.
An event is a message that a message flow publishes when something interesting happens. The message contains information about the source of the event, the time of the event, and the reason for the event. The event can include the message bit stream, and can also include selected elements from the message body. These fields can be used to correlate messages that belong to the same transaction, or to convey business data to a monitoring application.
Note: Monitoring
messages are published using the persistent as topic option.
By default, the publication resolves to be non persistent, but you
can change a publication to be persistent by configuring named topics
in WebSphere® MQ. For more information,
see the Subscriptions and message persistence topic in the WebSphere MQ
information center.
To receive monitoring events, complete the following steps.
You can use WebSphere Business
Monitor to monitor your message flows.
For more information, see Monitoring flows by using WebSphere Business Monitor.
