Observability Overview

Observability can be viewed as a superset of monitoring where monitoring is enriched with capabilities to perform debugging and profiling through rich context, log analysis, correlation, and tracing. Modern day observability resides on three pillars of logs, metrics, and tracing. Modern businesses require observability systems to self-sufficiently emit their current state (overview), generate alerts for any abnormalities detected to proactively identify failures, and to provide information to find the root causes of a system failure.

MWARE ESB currently offers multiple observability solutions that can be broadly classified into the following categories:

  • ESB observability solutions

    The ESB observability solution allows you to monitor the requests and the responses that correspond to a specific API call, monitor your application's usage, monitor production servers, enable distributed tracing and monitor ESB via the JConsole tool.

  • Integration observability solutions

    These solutions observe statistics generated by the Integration server. This allows you to analyze the performance of the integration artifacts, monitor the overall health of the integration server and to derive business insights.

  • Streaming observability solutions

    These solutions observe statistics generated by the Streaming server so that you can monitor the overall health of the Streaming server, analyze the performance of Streaming artifacts, and to analyze the efficiency with which ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) operations are carried out.
