Overview

The Oracle TSAM Agent includes three major layered modules:

•	Oracle TSAM framework

The Oracle TSAM framework is responsible for Tuxedo system data collection. The collection behavior is controlled by the monitoring types and policies. The gathered metrics are passed to the plug-in using an open interface.

•	Plug-in data receiver

The Oracle TSAM Agent ships with a default plug-in. The default plug-in sends metrics to shared memory pool created by the Local Monitor Server (LMS).

•	LMS (local monitor server)

The LMS synchronizes data with the Oracle TSAM Manager.

The Oracle TSAM Agent and Oracle TSAM Manager provide a complete solution for data collection, aggregation, storage and presentation. To support various requirements for monitoring data usage, the Oracle TSAM Agent plug-interface is based on an open architecture so that you can write customized plug-ins to interpret the performance metrics data. The custom plug-ins can work with the Oracle TSAM Agent default plug-in or independently. The custom plug-ins are typically used for:

•	Integration with third party management software

•	Developing in-house application monitoring suites

•	Audit-based application data
