1 About Integrating Service Broker With External Management Systems

This chapter gives an overview of ways to integrate Oracle Communications Service Broker with an external management system.

Management System Integration Mechanisms

Service Broker offers the following integration mechanisms:

• Java Management Extension (JMX)

  You can directly access Service Broker MBeans by using JMX. Domain-level configuration MBeans are exposed by the Administration Console and are stored in an Administration Console subdirectory. Each Processing Server and Signaling Server has an MBean server that exposes MBeans for reading configuration values, monitoring runtime aspects of modules, and managing the server life cycle.

  See Chapter 2, "About MBeans for Monitoring and Configuration," for information about the different types of Service Broker MBeans.

  See Chapter 3, "Integrating an External Management System by Using JMX," for information about accessing Service Broker MBeans.

• SNMP agent

  SNMP enables remote monitoring of the Processing Server or Signaling Server. You can configure Service Broker to respond to SNMP queries and send SNMP traps to external management systems. See Chapter 4, "Monitoring Service Broker with SNMP," for more information.
