Petals ESB is an open-source Enterprise Service Bus.
In addition to the distributed server part, Petals comes with several tools.

Administration

• Petals CLI is a command-line interface to administrate a set of Petals servers.
• The Petals ANT tasks is a set of ANT tasks to execute administration commands.

Platform Monitoring

• Petals ESB includes a JMX server.
• This JMX API has been bridged so that it can be used with tools like Cacti and Nagios.

Flow Monitoring

• Petals ESB supports an additional log level called MONIT.
• Used in combination with specific log handlers, it is possible to extract and collect messages and flows information.
• Exploitation tools are not part of the Petals suite. They depend on the context (from BI tools to custom dedicated applications).

Development

• Petals Studio is a custom Eclipse distribution for Petals ESB.
• The Petals Maven plugin is a Maven plugin with additional support for Petals ESB.

Experimental

• The Petals Web Console is a web application to administrate a set of Petals servers.
• Petals Simple Flow Viewer is a web application to visualize Petals flows extracted with the default file-based logger.

You will find documentation about these different parts in the space associated with your Petals distribution. A Petals distribution is an archive with Petals ESB and all of its supported and compatible tools and components. The only exception is Petals Studio, which is too big to be included in the distribution, and therefore available separately. This notion of Petals dsitribution exists since the version 4.0 of Petals ESB. Previously, elements were released in several archives.
