Analyzing SOA Metrics

Analyze Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) metrics using charts on the Transactions List view.

Following are ways to use these charts:

Analyzing SOA Environment Metrics

This section describes how to use the reports on the Run By tab to analyze SOA environment metrics. Click any SOA transaction record to see detailed metrics for SOA environments, as explained in the following sections:

Composite Status

The Composite Status sub tab shows information about the status of SOA service targets and of the monitored SOA composites, as explained in the following sections:

  • Service Status Table

  • Composite Status Table

Service Status Table

Location: On the Transactions dashboard at Customer and Service Level. The Transactions List view is displayed by default. Click any SOA transaction record associated with an environment. The Run By tab is displayed by default, showing the Composite Status sub tab, with the Service Status table at the top of the tab. For more information on how to access the Transactions dashboard.

The Service Status table shows the UP/DOWN status of the following SOA service targets:

  • weblogic_j2eeserver - The WebLogic server used to run SOA Infrastructure.

  • weblogic_cluster - A WebLogic Server cluster consists of multiple WebLogic Server server instances running simultaneously and working together to provide increased scalability and reliability.
