Probe Transaction
One of the monitoring facilities in your application is a probe transaction for the online component of the product. This is a set of JMX calls to the various components of the architecture to determine two sets of metrics:
- Availability of the component - The availability will return a pass or fail on availability (including details is possible) of the component.
- Raw performance - The raw transaction performance of the component from the call. This represents the raw performance and should be used as a raw indication of performance at the network level.
The following components are tested using this capability:
| Component | Test | Availability | Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Web Application Server | HTTP/HTTPS ping | RFC 2616 code | Time in ms |
| Business Application Server | Service Call | true or false | Time in ms |
| Database Server | SQL SELECT | True or SQL Error | Time in ms |
The API is part of the Business Application Server JMX Reference facility.
Note:
Customers using Application Management Pack for Oracle Utilities can use additional API's for performance and availability tracking.
