The purpose of TIBCO ActiveMatrix Service Performance Manager integration with Management Agent for WebSphere is to monitor and manage Java EE Web Services (JAX-RPC/JAX-WS) that are deployed in WebSphere Application Server.
Three components are essential to capture event and activity happening in the WebSphere Application Server and publish them on the Service Performance Manager JMS Queue in the format specified by Service Performance Manager. All these components run in the WebSphere Application Server.
Handler is an independent component based on Java EE Web Service Specification. It works to collect service execution information like (Message Context) and passes the service execution information to the Service Agent Core Component. The Service Agent Core Component extracts information for TIBCO ActiveMatrix Service Performance Manager and passes this data to the Service Probe.
It also provides an option to integrate with the existing TIBCO ActiveMatrix Management Agent for WebSphere handler to handle the service and reference service execution.
Service Probe is an independent component apart from Service Agent and Handlers that is responsible for publishing stats and infrastructure information on TIBCO ActiveMatrix Service Performance Manager JMS queue.
