Using Smart Search

BEA AquaLogic Service Bus provides a Smart Search feature, which is a powerful utility you can use for searching resources such as proxy services, business services, alert rules for service level agreements(SLA) violations, and alert destinations. You can use this utility to search for resources based on the various criteria regardless of your administrative privileges. For more information on the privileges of roles in AquaLogic Service Bus, see Roles in AquaLogic Service Bus.

You can also use results of a search to change the operational settings at the service level. But note for effectively enabling or disabling any operational setting, you must enable or disable the setting both at the global level and the service level. For more information, see Monitoring Services.

You can access Smart Search from the Configuration module of the Operations navigator bar (see Figure 4-1).
