Summary

In the previous chapter, the concept of modeling business services as service targets in OEM Grid Control was introduced and in this chapter, it was revisited in the context of active monitoring of these business services. This chapter visited the synthetic transactions and explained the concepts of service tests and beacons in depth. Subsequently, we explored the various options available to model business services as service targets based on service tests and beacons. In particular, we delved deep into the modeling capabilities using the Generic Service based on a simple service test executed by a single beacon. The various flavors of service test types were subsequently described in detail. This was followed by a description of the various monitoring features present for a service target based on active monitoring. The chapter ended with a detailed discussion on the monitoring features present in the beacon targets in OEM Grid Control.

The next chapter will cover modeling, monitoring...
