Monitor SOAP Web services


After a Web service is installed and started, you can get information about the service, such as its associated ports, public operations, and so on.

To monitor a Web service:

  1. In the left pane of the Administration Console, select Deployments.
  2. In the right pane, navigate within the Deployments table until you find the Web service you want to monitor.

    Note: Web services are deployed as part of an Enterprise application, Web application, or EJB. To understand how Web services are displayed in the Administration Console, see View installed Web services.

  3. In the Deployments table, click the name of the Web service.
  4. Select Monitoring > General to display general statistics about the Web service.

    This page displays the Web service name, its URI, and its associated Enterprise application and application module. Error and invocations counts are aggregated for all servers on which the Web service is running.

  5. Select Monitoring > Invocations to display statistics related to the Web service invocations.

    Error, invocation, and response counts are aggregated for all servers on which the Web service is running.

  6. Select Monitoring > WS-Policy to display statistics related to the policies that are attached to the Web service, organized into the following categories: authentication, authorization, confidentiality, and integrity.

    Success, fault, and violation counts are aggregated for all servers on which the Web service is running.

  7. Select Monitoring > Ports for a table listing the endpoints (ports) associated with the Web service.

    The table provides a summary of information for each port. Click a port name to view the public operations that can be invoked by client applications.

    For each operation, runtime monitoring information is displayed, such as the number of times the operation has been invoked since the WebLogic Server instance started, the average time it took to invoke the Web service, the average time it took to respond, and so on. You can customize the information that is shown in the table by clicking Customize this table.

    Use the tabs in the following steps to view more information about the Web service endpoint.

  8. Select Monitoring > Ports > General to display general statistics about the Web service endpoint.

    This page displays information such as the Web service endpoint name, its URI, and its associated Web service, Enterprise application, and application module. Error and invocations counts are aggregated for all Web service endpoint operations.

  9. Select Monitoring > Ports > Invocations to display statistics related to the Web service endpoint invocations.

    Success, fault, and violation counts are aggregated for all Web service endpoint operations.

  10. Select Monitoring > Ports > Cluster Routing to display cluster routing statistics for the Web service endpoint.

    Request and response, and routing failures are aggregated for all Web service endpoint operations.

  11. Select Monitoring > Servers > Make Connection to display MakeConnection anonymous endpoints for a Web service.

    For each anonymous endpoint, runtime monitoring information is displayed, such as the number of messages received, the number of messages pending, and so on. You can customize the information that is shown in the table by clicking Customize this table.

    Click the name of an anonymous endpoint to view more details.

  12. Select Monitoring > Ports > Reliable Message to display reliable messaging sequences for the Web service endpoint.

    For each reliable messaging sequence, runtime monitoring information is displayed, such as the sequence state, the source and destination servers, and so on. You can customize the information that is shown in the table by clicking Customize this table.

    Click the name of a sequence to view the requests in the sequence.

  13. Select Monitoring > Ports > WS-Policy to display statistics related to the policies that are attached to the Web service endpoint, organized into the following categories: authentication, authorization, confidentiality, and integrity.

    Success, fault, and violation counts are aggregated for all Web service endpoint operations.

  14. Select Monitoring > Ports > Operations to display a list of the operations for the Web service endpoint.
    For each operation, runtime monitoring information is displayed, such as average response, execution, and dispatch times, response, invocation and error counts, and so on. You can customize the information that is shown in the table by clicking Customize this table.

    Note: For JAX-WS Web services, the built-in Ws-Protocol operation displays statistics that are relevant to the underlying WS-* protocols. For example, for Web services reliable messaging, this operation captures message statistics for CreateSequence and AckRequested messages received or sent by the reliable messaging subsystem on behalf of the Web service or client. This information is helpful in evaluating the application performance.

    Click the name of an operation to view more information. Click the General or Invocations tab to display general statistics or invocation statistics, respectively, for the selected operation.
