BTM architecture overview
BTM's architecture is based on a series of distributed components (Observers, Monitor Servers, and Central Servers) that constantly interact in order to capture, process, analyze, and present transactional data in a human-readable fashion.
The following diagram shows a high-level architecture view of BTM:
As can be appreciated from the above diagram, BTM consists of:
Observers: They are basically agents that are deployed into the application server(s) that host the business application(s) that participate in a SOA transaction and therefore require monitoring. Observers can monitor several types of components and there are different types based upon the system or application that they monitor. For example, in the case of Weir & Bell Telecom, the following observers were used:
BTMObserver_Wls_10.3_JavaEE_*.zip: It is an observer for Java EE on WebLogic 10.3.x.BTMObserver_Wls_10.3_Soa11gR1_*.zip: It is an observer for Oracle SOA Suite on WebLogic 10.3.x.BTMObserver_Wls_10...
