Ravi -
Thanks for your questions. To elaborate on Jon's comments:
A) In WLS 9.X we added the WebLogic Diagnostic Framework (WLDF):
http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs100/wldf_configuring/intro.html#wp1062080
WLDF can be used to monitor and store/archive data on running servers. It also provides a watch and notification (alerting) service to send notifications via JMX, JMS, SMTP, SNMP, or diagnostic image when specified conditions or thresholds are reached. WLDF also provides a console extension for visualization of WLDF information. As Jon suggests, you could use WLDF to send notifications with either manual instructions to be executed by the administrator, or automated actions to be taken by JMX, or a wlst script, etc.
In addition, BEA has also announced Liquid Operations Control (a presentation on the product is available at the BEAWorld site). The essential concept is you define services/apps, resource pools (machines, etc) available for service execution, and operational policies, rules and SLAs for service execution. LOC will monitor the services/apps against the policies, rules, and SLAs you have defined, enabling either manual or automated adjustment to resource allocations as service requirements dictate. LOC will use WLDF under the covers.
B) LOC will also provide an application/service-level management view across WLS domains and applications. So this will address the cross-domain health monitoring capability you're looking for.
We are looking into expanding our capabilities in this area to support use cases like the one you cite above, but do not have specific plans right now.
I would be interested in your comments on whether A meets your requirements (or what are your key unmet needs). Also interested in your comments on LOC. |
