Included are a method to manage subscriptions over a network, where the network may comprise intermediaries, clients, and service providers, and the method may include, receiving a subscription at a network intermediary, the subscription having management application data and having application level header information. The method may further include reviewing the application level header information of the received subscription and redirecting the subscription over the network using the reviewed application level header information.

Inband data gathering with dynamic intermediary route selections

Managing subscriptions over a network, where the network comprises intermediaries, clients, and service providers. Certain embodiments provide for receiving a subscription at a network intermediary, the subscription having management application data and application level header information, reviewing the application level header information of the received subscription, and redirecting the subscription over the network using the reviewed application level header information.

Systems and methods of managing problem determination (PD) data provide for obtaining PD data from a plurality of data sources via an input/output (I/O) interface of a data management device and storing the PD data to a memory of the data management device. In addition, an automated diagnostic analysis of the PD data may be conducted on the data management device. An automated discovery manager may provide the ability to find new sources of PD data and to either reconfigure remote systems to send data to the data management device or to automatically retrieve data from remote systems on a configurable schedule. Dynamically updateable database of symptom information can also be used, wherein the data management device may include a dynamically updateable set of analysis modules with which to conduct analysis on the PD data.

Appliance for storing, managing and analyzing problem determination artifacts

A system for monitoring a service provided in a service-oriented architecture may include a computing device configured to submit a subscription request to a plurality of intermediaries in the service-oriented architecture from which to receive monitored data related to the service. An application operating on the computing device may determine which ones of the plurality of intermediaries to rely upon for monitoring the service based at least in part on a probability value associated with each intermediary. The probability value is a function of at least a frequency of messages associated with the service processed by the intermediary and a time period since a last message associated with the service was processed by the intermediary. The system may also include an output device to present the monitored data in response to the monitored data being received by the computing device from the determined ones of the plurality of intermediaries.

Non-intrusive monitoring of services in a services-oriented architecture

A method for monitoring a service provided in a service-oriented architecture may include submitting a subscription request to a plurality of intermediaries in the service-oriented architecture from which to receive monitored data related to the service and determining which ones of the plurality of intermediaries to rely upon for monitoring the service. The method may also include receiving the monitored data from the determined ones of the plurality of intermediaries and presenting the monitored data for monitoring the service.

Non-intrusive monitoring of services in a service-oriented architecture

The shared memory includes a header section and a data section, wherein said header section includes at least two headers in which control information is stored. The method comprises the steps of: judging whether or not there is data corruption in one of said at least two headers; and copying the control information in any one of other headers to said one header if there is data corruption in said one header. A method for controlling access to a shared memory is also disclosed.

Decreasing shared memory data corruption

A method, system and program product for monitoring resources servicing a business transaction is provided. The method includes providing a transaction manager that monitors a business transaction serviced by one or more resources, with each of the resources and the transaction manager having a protocol stack configured to send and receive load-monitoring headers in protocol messages. The method further includes specifying, in a protocol request header in a protocol request message, collection of performance metrics for a resource, collecting, by the resources, the performance metrics specified in the protocol request message and sending the performance metrics collected to the transaction manager, in a protocol response header in a protocol response message. Further, the method includes pre-configuring with policies the protocol stack on a subset of the resources, such that the pre-configured resources can act as monitoring agents on behalf of peer resources and send alerts to a resource manager.
