IBM App Connect Enterprise (ACE) is a dynamic integration solution that connects applications, data, and systems across cloud and on-premises environments. Formerly known as IBM Integration Bus (IIB), it facilitates seamless data flow and business process automation by enabling efficient message transformation, routing, and connectivity between various enterprise applications.
Since ACE facilitates data exchange and workflow automation across various systems, tracking key metrics like server health, message processing, API performance, and response times is crucial to detecting bottlenecks, preventing failures, and optimizing resource utilization. Applications Manager supports monitoring for the following IBM App Connect services:
Ensure smooth workflow execution and identify bottlenecks and failures in message processing by measuring Application stats. Gain insights into request counts, error rates, and response times to maintain seamless communication between integrated services. Service stats ensure efficient backend integrations by tracking availability, execution times, and failure rates. Detect latency issues, optimize system performance, and improve user experience by monitoring Response time.
Keep an eye on Integration server details to obtain insights into resource utilization, execution group performance, and message processing. This helps you to optimize workloads and prevent performance bottlenecks. Ensure effective monitoring of Event log details to capture critical system events, errors, and warnings, allowing for quick identification and resolution of failures, security threats, or unexpected behavior.
An IBM App Connect Enterprise (ACE) server is a runtime environment, responsible for hosting deployed integration solutions, handling workload distribution, and ensuring reliable communication across different endpoints. Use Applications Manager's IBM App Connect Enterprise Server monitoring tool to track resource utilization, detect performance issues, and prevent downtime.
In IBM App Connect Enterprise (ACE) Server, MQ (IBM MQ) is a messaging middleware that enables message queuing, ensuring that messages are delivered even if the receiving application is temporarily unavailable. Ensure seamless performance and reliability by monitoring statistics related to server, application, REST API and services. Monitoring MQ metrics provides critical insights into message flow behavior, response times, and processing delays, helping identify performance bottlenecks.
Track the health and execution status of deployed integration flows by monitoring Application details. Measure REST API stats to obtain insights into request/response times, error rates, and throughput, ensuring seamless communication between integrated applications. Observe service details to gain a clear idea of backend service availability, execution times, and failures to maintain operational continuity. Additionally, policy details provide the key information about the current policy that is deployed in the server, along with its last modified time details.
Gain in-depth visibility into memory consumption and garbage collection, by monitoring JVM resource usage details. Event log details capture critical system events, errors, and warnings, enabling quick identification and resolution of issues such as failed transactions, security breaches, or unexpected behavior.
