Tibco EMS

Supported by Dynatrace

Automatic and intelligent observability for Tibco EMS with end-to-end traces of connected producers and consumers.

With Dynatrace, you can get observability for TIBCO EMS without touching any code, thanks to automatic monitoring. Seamless end-to-end traces for connected producer and consumer services allow you to diagnose anomalies and pinpoint the root cause of the broken code before your customers are affected. Comprehensive metrics give you insight into the health and performance of TIBCO EMS brokers, queues, and topics. Events point you to critical anomalies, reducing the mean repair time.

use cases

Capture every message across tiers without blind spots.
Improve the performance of your producer and consumer services end-to-end.
Troubleshoot asynchronous service problems across your stack proactively.
Prevent message processing anomalies to reduce the mean time to repair.
Monitor the health and performance of all your brokers, queues, and topics.

Get started

If your application runs on a virtual machine or bare-metal, install OneAgent on it to get started.

If your application runs as a workload in Kubernetes or OpenShift, set up Dynatrace on Kubernetes or OpenShift.

Activate the extension for Tibco EMS to get full metric insight by clicking on Add to environment.

Activate log monitoring to get log insight.

Message Tracing

Out of the box, Dynatrace automatically detects and monitors Tibco EMS queues and messages in your applications. You do not need the extension to trace Tibco EMS messages.

Dynatrace OneAgent displays Tibco EMS in the smartscape topology view.
All services that use Tibco EMS are listed in the Sends to queue and Receives from queue sections of the related service overview page.
As long as each message is sent and received within the same queue, you get an end-to-end view of each message trace.
Service-level backtraces can follow messages backward to their origins.
When you look at a single distributed trace, you can understand the end-to-end flow of the message.

Extension

The Tibco EMS extension detects multiple EMS instances and gathers information from each one of them. It can connect with or without SSL for more secure deployments. You can filter in and out your queues and topics with rules. Once it’s configured, you can easily define custom alerts to notify your Operations team of any issues, such as queues filling up. The extension relies on the command line utility tibemsadmin to gather broker, queue and topic level information. It also creates a custom topology for all three entities, each one with its own custom screens, and links it to the automatic SmartScape topology. The extension also includes an out of the box dashboard.

Prerequisites

Tibco EMS 8.0+ on Windows or Linux
OneAgent version 1.253+
Dynatrace version 1.253+
The dtuser account must be able to execute tibemsadmin, usually installed under TIBCO_HOME/bin.
A monitoring account must be created with sufficient privileges to run show commands under tibemsadmin.
Statistics must be enabled inside EMS.
If using SSL, you need to provide a valid certificate so the extension can connect.

Configuration

User: Tibco account with sufficient privileges to run tibemsadmin commands.
Password: The user password.
Secure Connection: Select no for TCP or yes for SSL. Ensure the correct listener is enabled.
Capture System Queues: Select yes to capture System Queues.
Monitoring Rules: Set of rules that will filter in or out the queues or topics, based on their names.

Output

The dashboard Tibco EMS Overview will be included in the extension. From there, you can navigate to the list of all the entities created by the extension; brokers, queues and topics. Each individual entity will have its own screen to view its metrics and navigate to the related entities.

Additionally, a new section will appear in the monitored host called Tibco EMS brokers, where you can navigate to the monitored brokers of the selected host. Likewise, a new section will appear in the process group instance's screen to navigate to its related broker. Make sure to have the new screens for both enabled to view these new sections.

All metrics can also be viewed with the data explorer, they are prefixed with EMS2.

You can use the included Feature Sets to control which metrics will be monitored.

Licensing Consumption

The extension consumes DDU Units. The amount of DDUs units depends on the number of instances, queues and topics.
