Application-Oriented Monitoring in a Cloud Component World
The cloud revolution promises huge benefits in IT savings, but initially introduces even more complexity with new integration points and interfaces. This paper discusses the challenges inherent in monitoring complex applications based on component architectures, and how, if properly monitored, the nature of the cloud itself may ultimately provide the solution. |

Detecting and Alerting on Fault Conditions in an Oracle Coherence Distributed Caching System by Tom Lubinski, president and CEO of SL Corporation Fault conditions in Oracle Coherence can lead to intolerable data loss or even complete cluster failure. Detecting these dangerous conditions using intelligent alerts as early as possible is critical to preventing outages and ensuring high availability in such systems. In this paper, techniques for achieving this using available JMX monitoring data are presented in the context of commonly encountered use cases. |
This white paper discusses how SL’s RTView® for APM | BW Monitor® enables BusinessWorks users to gain early warning of problems, provide deep analytics and troubleshooting to quickly and fully resolve issues relating to BW implementations, and ultimately save money through the optimization of their BW services. |

APM focuses on monitoring and managing the performance and service availability of software applications. Enterprise companies are increasingly seeking holistic, or 360°, APM solutions, capable of monitoring and managing a broad range of applications. This white paper covers the challenges that organizations face in seeking to achieve 360° visibility, key requirements for a solution, and recommended architectures and best practices. |
Practical Considerations When Instrumenting Applications With JMX The use of JMX in custom application monitoring systems brings with it an array of unique challenges involving the aggregation, analysis, and visualization of real-time data. This paper discusses practical issues regarding data content and design of MBeans for optimal use in such systems. Some commonly overlooked requirements are explored and recommendations made for minimizing client-side development efforts. |

Application Performance Management (APM) for TIBCO Users: Extending Visibility Across Your TIBCO Infrastructure and Beyond
TIBCO users may wish to expand IT monitoring and management beyond their TIBCO infrastructure. Many SL customers have chosen to extend their TIBCO monitoring and visualization application to a broader Application Performance Management (APM) solution, delivering single-pane-of-glass visibility across their heterogeneous application and IT infrastructure. |
Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) : Process Control for the Enterprise by Tom Lubinski, president and CEO of SL Corporation As the nature of real-time information has evolved, the requirements for analysis and visualization of data have become more complex and sophisticated. There are key lessons to be learned from the process control industry’s decades of experience in dealing with real-time mission-critical data. This whitepaper discusses how lessons can be taken from traditional process monitoring applications and applied in today’s more complex multi-dimensional environments in order to deliver more effective and successful Business Activity Monitoring solutions for the enterprise. |
|
| The purpose of this whitepaper is to review a number of ways TIBCO users are able to increase productivity by improving the visibility of their TIBCO infrastructure. Several use cases are presented along with an overview of the solution architecture. |
