Monitoring and Managing a TIBCO BusinessEvents Cluster : Overview of Monitoring a TIBCO BusinessEvents Cluster

Overview of Monitoring a TIBCO BusinessEvents Cluster
TIBCO BusinessEvents Views Dashboard agents  You can monitor TIBCO BusinessEvents Views Dashboard agents, but not otherwise manage them.
All TIBCO BusinessEvents cluster members — agents, JVMs (processing units) and machines — generate system metrics. They are made available over the network for use by the Monitoring and Management (MM) web-based user interface.
Using MM Console, you can examine all aspects of the cluster, including objects in the cache. At each level of the cluster hierarchy, various panes display metrics relating to that level graphically. You can rearrange and remove panes, and promote panes of special interest to the cluster overview to create a custom dashboard.

Before you can use the Monitoring and Management component, you must do some configuration:
Reference to the Metrics
For each level of the cluster hierarchy, various metrics are provided using charts and tables. Later panels in this chapter provide a reference to the metrics available at each level.
The charts and tables appear in different panes on the panel or panels (tabs) relating to one level of the cluster hierarchy.
The agent level can have two panels. One shows the same information for all types of agents. For inference and query agents, a second panel shows information specific to the agent type. Cache agents do not have a second panel.
Note the following:
Charting Period  All charts display data for the previous ten minutes (or less if, for example MM or a JVM has been running less than ten minutes).
Updates  Monitoring and Management polls for updates and refreshes the display periodically. The interval is configurable. See the updateInterval property in Specify the Site Topology File and Basic MM Settings in MM.cdd.
Health Indicators and Alerts
You can configure health indictor thresholds that define whether a value indicates normal functioning, a potential problem (warning), or a critical situation.
You can also configure alerts to bring specific problem situations to the attention of system users.
These health indicators and alerts are shown in the Cluster Overview, providing a dashboard where you can read the health of the entire cluster at a glance.
See Chapter 7, MM Metrics and Features Configuration for configuration details.
