10 Tips for Monitoring
TIBCO EMS

Monitor producers & consumers for
early warning of application-related
issues
1
Example: If number of connections change, it
could indicate that a problem has occurred.
Alexandra @ TIBCOmmunity

Monitor Queue Health to determine
if consumers or publishers have
exceeded ‘norms’
2

Monitor Async DB size to alert when
it exceeds target threshold
3
Another, often overlooked, metric that can
indicate that all is not as it should be….

Monitor the size of the messages so
that you don't run out of disk space
This alert is based on the size (not count)
of the total pending msgs per EMS
Server. 4
Jed @ TIBCOmmunity

Monitor message latency to identify
slow throughput conditions
5
Slow Application throughput?
Slow Database performance?

Monitor pending message count to
see if a producer is producing too
many or not enough messages
6
Too many messages? Bad messages.
Not enough messages? Producer is down.
Jed @ TIBCOmmunity

Monitor the physical or virtual
servers that EMS is running on
7
Overtaxed physical and virtual infrastructure
can affect your EMS performance

Use a dashboards for aggregated, at
a glance monitoring
8
• Performance and stability metrics are easier
to scan if they are functionally grouped.
• Topology Diagrams help understand flow
and dependencies

Prioritize your alerts by business
impact
9
Alignment with Business Priorities is essential – how can you
do this when you do not understand how to prioritize your
support efforts ?

Leverage EMS historical data
10
Move to improve – Follow the demand trends
and the response behavior through the entire
business cycle so that you can match
resources to demand

Added Context Makes Monitoring More Powerful
Middleware Monitoring in context
=
Faster, deeper troubleshooting
Proactive early warning
Historical root cause analysis
