Overview of Monitoring System Component and Business Process Performance
The system component information in this section applies to both Optimize for Process and Optimize for Infrastructure, while the business process information is specific to Optimize for Process.
A system component is any item of information technology (IT) infrastructure equipment in your environment that can be monitored. An application is a webMethods program such as Integration Server that runs on a system component in your environment.
You can check the performance of applications and system components by viewing:
*A list of all applications and system components that are out of compliance, on the Problems page.
*A summary of all KPI instances associated with applications and IT equipment, on the Analytics Overview page.
A business process model is an executable process that represents a series of interrelated business tasks that are performed in a specific order by multiple systems, people, and partners. Examples of business processes within a corporation are integrating a new employee, handling a purchase order, developing a product from inception to market, delivering a timely and accurate invoice, enabling vendor-managed inventory, or synchronizing item registries with UCCNET.
Each executable process started from a business process model is referred to as a process instance. For more information about business process models and instances, see webMethods BPM Process Development Help and webMethods Monitor User’s Guide.
Using the Optimize components on the Navigation > Applications > Monitoring page of My webMethods, you can view following information about your running business processes:
*A summary of business process problems on the Problems page.
*The status of processes and process stages at a high level on the Analytics Overview page.
*Details about individual process instances on the Process Instances page.
*Details about step execution in a process instance on the Process Instance Detail page.
Your system administrator can configure your My webMethods System Settings to monitor multiple Integration Servers or multiple Analytic Engines (see “Configuring Optimize to Use Multiple Integration Servers and Analytic Engines” in Administering webMethods Optimize). You can select which Integration Servers and Analytic Engines you want to monitor from the Server menu in the top right corner of the My webMethods Monitoring pages. Only the processes, components, and applications on the selected server are displayed.
Note:
The default server is set on the System Settings page. If you select a server on another My webMethods page, that server is selected until you select a different server.
