4 Monitoring and Managing SAF Agents

Monitoring SAF Agents

You can monitor statistics on active SAF agents defined in your domain via the Administration Console or through the SAFAgentRuntimeMBean. For more information on using the Administration Console to monitor JMS servers, see "Monitor SAF agent statistics" in the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console Help.

The Administration Console provides monitoring capabilities for SAF agents, remote endpoints, and connections. The following information can be viewed on each SAF agent:

• For WSRM only, all of the SAF receiving agents that a SAF agent has talked to.

• For WSRM only, all of the conversations that have occurred.

• For WSRM and JMS, all of the endpoints that an SAF agent has sent messages to.

The following statistics information will be recorded on each sending agent:

• Current, total, and high count of messages (per agent and per remote endpoint)

• Total number of messages that has failed (per conversation, agent and remote endpoint)

• Current, total, and high count of conversations (per agent and per remote endpoint)

• Total uptime, downtime, and last time connected or disconnected for a remote agent.

Managing Message Operations on SAF Agents

The Administration Console also provides run-time message management capabilities for SAF agents, including:

• Temporarily pausing any incoming, forwarding, and receiving message operations on a SAF agent, as described in "Monitor SAF agent statistics" in the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console Help.

• Temporarily pause incoming and forwarding message operations to remote endpoints. You can also expire all messages or purge all messages for remote endpoints, as described in "Monitor SAF agent remote endpoints" in the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console Help.

• Destroy WSRM conversations and purge all messages associated with the conversation, as described in "Monitor SAF agent WSRM conversations" in the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console Help.
