| We have several types of adapters in our integration architecture. In short, they either read/write from/to a database and read/write from/to a queue. However, there has been some differences in how to monitor these applications. We work in a distributed environment, primarily Windows and AIX. Candle is used for MQ monitoring but what about these adapters? Any thoughts or solutions? I know about the Java Service Wrapper. When adapters run unattended and a failure occurs, we'd like operations to receive the issue and respond to it. There is talk of using a scheduler (such as Control-m) to manage the execution of the adapters and, thereby, applying an operational harness to an adapter. Is this a best practice for a data center? |

| I suppose there are system management solutions available to monitor Java applications. Can anyone suggest a good one based on their experiences? Or is monitoring java apps still a challenge? |

Depends on the Java application and the environment that app is running in.
If the app is running in WebSphere, there are a lot of performance/monitoring stuff available through JMX.
And these days, I think that a well behaved enterprise java app should have app specific information exposed through either a pub/sub or through JMX. But this is mainly my opinion.

| The adapters run in a distributed environment (primarily, Windows and AIX). None running in WAS. For pub-sub, the adapter would publish errors to a consumer such as a web app or logging process. Correct? [I've seen an IBM article about pub-sub error logging.] As for JMX, I suppose we'd need to inquire if our monitoring tools have JMX capability. We use Candle to monitor certain apps on AIX. Might be a place to start. |

Are these WBI Adapters, or home-grown?
If they are home-grown it is relatively trivial to add JMX capabilities to them, or likewise yes - publish the errors to an error topic hierarchy, and have a logging consumer write them to a database (and possibly instruct Candle to escalate the error).
