Transaction monitoring and auditing
The events
published by
IBM® Integration Bus can be written
to a transaction repository, creating an audit trail of the transactions
that are processed by a broker. A transaction repository can be used
for monitoring, auditing and replay of transactions.
Bitstream
data can be included so that failed transactions can be resubmitted. You
can perform the following tasks to set up transaction monitoring and
auditing.
- Configure events for your transactions
- In most cases bitstream information is not sufficient to allow
querying of the logged transactions. Key fields and other correlation
data can be extracted from the message payload and placed into the wmb:applicationData/wmb:simpleContent or wmb:applicationData/wmb:complexContent element
of the event. The logging application or message flow can extract
these fields and log them with the message bit stream.
- Subscribe to the event topic and write events to a repository
- You can create a message flow, or any WebSphere® MQ application, that subscribes
to the event topic and writes events to a relational database. The
details of the database schema depend on the requirements of your
organization, for example the number of key fields and transaction
IDs.
Business process monitoring
The events published
by a broker can be monitored by
WebSphere Business Monitor.
Important fields in the message payload can be added to the events
emitted by your message flows, allowing them to be monitored. You
can use the following items to help you use
WebSphere Business Monitor to monitor your message flows:
- Message-driven bean
- The events must be submitted to the CEI repository for WebSphere Business Monitor to monitor them. A message-driven
bean is supplied for this purpose. The message-driven bean, which
runs in WebSphere Application Server, subscribes
to the event topic and writes events that match its subscription to
the CEI repository as Common Base Event events.
A
message-driven bean is supplied with the WebSphere Business Monitor sample. For instructions about
how to install and configure the sample message-driven bean, see Running the WebSphere Business Monitor sample.
- WebSphere Business Monitor Model
- IBM Integration Bus includes an example
monitor model for use with WebSphere Business Monitor.
This model demonstrates how to monitor transaction events and terminal
events, including events that capture data from the input message
and output message. Modify the model to match your actual events and
message formats.
A WebSphere Business Monitor Model
is supplied with the WebSphere Business Monitor sample.
For instructions about how to install and configure the sample WebSphere Business Monitor Model , see Running the WebSphere Business Monitor sample.
