TIBCO EMSWith 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 your TIBCO EMS brokers, queues, and topics. Events point you to critical anomalies, reducing the mean time to repair.
To get trace insight:
To get log insight:
Prerequisites:
dtuser account must be able to execute tibemsadmin, usually installed under TIBCO_HOME/bin.show commands under tibemsadmin.To get metric insight:
tibemsadmin commands.no for TCP or yes for SSL. Ensure the correct listener is enabled.yes to capture System Queues.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. 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 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.
Below is a complete list of the feature sets provided in this version. To ensure a good fit for your needs, individual feature sets can be activated and deactivated by your administrator during configuration.
