CentraSite can receive run-time events and Key Performance Indicator (KPI) metrics from gateways such as webMethods Mediator. A run-time event is an event that occurs while services are actively deployed on a gateway. Examples of run-time events are:
*Successful or unsuccessful SOAP and REST requests.
*Policy violation events that are generated upon violation of service’s runtime policy.
*Service monitoring events that are generated by the service-monitoring actions in the runtime policy.
KPI metrics are used to monitor the run-time execution of virtual services. Metrics include the maximum response time, average response time, fault count, availability of virtual services, and so on. If you include run-time monitoring actions in your run-time policies, the actions monitors the KPI metrics for virtual services and send alerts to various destinations when user-specified performance conditions for a service are violated.
CentraSite provides predefined event types that can be used with any supported runtime gateway, such as webMethods Mediator. In addition, you can also create custom event types.
The runtime event data are collected by the gateway and published to CentraSite through SNMP. The gateway publishes runtime data for all instances.
You can view the runtime events and metrics for all targets, for a particular target, or for a particular virtual service using both CentraSite Business UI and CentraSite Control.
