Monitor the Application

Monitoring an application can be done in two ways, discussed in this section:

•	Viewing Default Monitoring Information

•	Specifying a Custom Alert

Viewing Default Monitoring Information

Some monitoring information for the application is available by default. To view the log from TIBCO Administrator, follow these steps:

1.	Choose Application Management> Timer Application > tutorial > Service Instances and select the <machine>-FileActivitiesTest service instance, and then the Tracing tab.

2.	In the Search box, make sure that the log for your application (in this case tutorial-FileActivityTest.log) is selected, and then click Search.

TIBCO Administrator displays information about the instance, which includes starting, termination, and any errors that occurred.

3.	To make the default monitoring information more detailed, click the Configure Tracing button.

The service instance must be running or the button will be disabled.

4.	In the window that appears, click All Activities to have execution of each activity included in the log; click All Starters to have execution of all starters included, and then click Save.

5.	When you return to the log, you will find that information about the individual activities and the starter are now included.

Specifying a Custom Alert

In addition to tracing, TIBCO Administrator allows you to specify that you wish to be alerted if certain conditions are met. This section gives one example. A detailed discussion of tracing is included in Adding a Rulebase to a Process or Service.

To specify a custom alert, follow these steps:

1.	Choose Application Management> Timer Application > tutorial > Configuration.

2.	In the Configuration Builder panel, expand the tutorial application and select the FileActivityTest.par, and then choose the Monitoring tab.

3.	In the Events pane, click Add.

4.	In the dialog that appears, make the following changes (shown in the next figure).

a.	In the General pane, select First Component Failure.

b.	In the Alert pane, select the check box next to Generate Alert.

c.	Select the All Occurences radio button and choose the level High.

d.	In the Message field, type First component failure - FileActivityTest.

e.	Click OK, and then click Save.

TIBCO Administrator will now display a high-level alert with the message upon first failure of this process. If you wanted, you could also have an email sent in the event of component failure.

5.	When you are returned to the Configuration Builder notice that it indicates that services require deployment. Click Deploy and the changes will take effect.
