Java Enterprise System Monitoring Framework

Access Manager 7.1 integrates with the Java Enterprise System (JES) monitoring framework through Java Management Extensions (JMX). JMX technology provides the tools for building distributed, web-based, modular, and dynamic solutions for managing and monitoring devices, applications, and service-driven networks. Typical uses of the JMX technology include: consulting and changing application configuration, accumulating statistics about application behavior, notification of state changes and erroneous behaviors. Data is delivered to centralized monitoring console. Access Manager 7.1 uses the Java ES Monitoring Framework to capture statistics and service-related data such as:

• Number of attempted, successful, and failed authentications

• Number of active sessions, statistics from session failover DB

• Session failover database statistics

• Policy caching statistics

• Policy evaluation transaction times

• Number of assertions for a given provider in a SAML/Federation deployment

For comprehensive information about how the JES monitoring framework works and how you can use the monitoring framework with Access Manager, see the Sun Java Enterprise System 5 Monitoring Guide.
