Introduction

The Petals BC Soap is composed of several internal components. Each one can be monitored and provides several metrics:

• consumer side:
  • incoming requests
    • incoming information request counter,
    • incoming web-service request counter,
    • incoming web-service request response times,
    • incoming unknown request counter,
  • thread pool processing web-service requests,
• provider side:
  • outgoing web-service request counter,
  • outgoing web-service request response times,
  • web-service client pool.

Monitoring the consumer side

Monitoring the incoming requests

Unable to render embedded object: File (petals-local-transporter-delivered-messages.png) not found.

See Creating a graph using a simple data to graph the incoming requests:

• Script/Command of the data input method: petals-cli.sh -h <petals_host> -n <petals_jmx_port> -u <petals_jmx_user> -p <petals_jmx_password> -c -- monitoring -o petals-bc-soap -f incoming-http-requests-count -- -n <petals-bc-soap-id> -r

  If you have only one Petals BC SOAP installed on your Petals node, the input field petals-bc-soap-id can be replaced by its value

• Output fields of the script/command:

  Name	Description	Type
  Information	Number of information request received	COUNTER
  Unknown	Number of unknown request received	COUNTER
  WS	Number of web-service request received	COUNTER

Monitoring the thread pool processing incoming requests

See Creating a graph using a simple data to graph the stats of the thread pool processing incoming requests:

• Script/Command of the data input method: petals-cli.sh -h <petals_host> -n <petals_jmx_port> -u <petals_jmx_user> -p <petals_jmx_password> -c -- monitoring -o petals-bc-soap -f http-thread-pool -- -n <petals-bc-soap-id>

  If you have only one Petals BC SOAP installed on your Petals node, the input field petals-bc-soap-id can be replaced by its value

• Output fields of the script/command:

  Name	Description	Type
  HttpServerThreadPoolAllocatedThreadsMax	The maximum number of allocated threads	GAUGE
  HttpServerThreadPoolAllocatedThreadsCurrent	The current number of allocated threads	GAUGE
  HttpServerThreadPoolIdleThreadsMax	The maximum number of idle threads	GAUGE
  HttpServerThreadPoolIdleThreadsCurrent	The current number of idle threads	GAUGE
  HttpServerThreadPoolMaxSize	The maximum size of the thread pool	GAUGE
  HttpServerThreadPoolMinSize	The minimum size of the thread pool	GAUGE
  HttpServerThreadPoolEnqueuedRequestsMax	The maximum number of requests that are enqueued waiting a thread to be processed	GAUGE
  HttpServerThreadPoolEnqueuedRequestsCurrent	The current number of requests that are enqueued waiting a thread to be processed	GAUGE
