SonicMQ Event Monitor
With Progress® Sonic® Event Monitor you can monitor alerts, metrics and performance data. Notification of events can be sent to multiple destinations, including databases, rolling log files, SMTP servers and SNMP clients. For example, alerts can be sent to Blackberry devices or enterprise system management systems like HP OpenView or IBM Tivoli. Historical data of system operations can be recorded for ongoing performance improvement and troubleshooting specific problems that occur in production. For example, an operator can search log files for abnormalities in metrics data and find correlations to an event.
Common use cases for SonicMQ Event Monitor include:
- Queue Thresholds: When a queue reaches a specified threshold, send an email alerting the person monitoring operations.
- Disconnects and Dropped Connections: If an application disconnects from Sonic, send an SNMP trap to your enterprise system management system, and/or send an email alerting the person monitoring operations.
- Memory Thresholds: If the memory threshold is exceeded on a container, send an email to notify the system administrator.
- Notification History (or Operational Audit): Log information to a file over a time period to capture all events. When a problem is reported, this information can be used to investigate and determine the cause of the problem.
Sonic Event Monitor is a must-have tool for the operations team enabling them to better monitor and manage Sonic deployments.
