Discovery of Oracle Service Bus

Oracle Service Bus gets discovered as part of WebLogic domain, managed server discovery. We saw in Chapter 4,Managing Oracle WebLogic Server, how Enterprise Manager Agent discovers WebLogic domain and managed servers. Along with domain, cluster and managed server targets, OSB targets are also created and persisted in the Enterprise Manager repository.

Just like WebLogic domain and server targets, OSB can also be discovered and monitored, either by remote agent or local agent. In case you want to use OSB service's provisioning feature you will need to discover/monitor OSB in the local agent mode. In the local agent mode, the agent is installed where the domain admin server is running. In the remote agent mode, the agent can be on any other host on the same network.

After discovery you will see the Oracle Service Bus target on the Middleware tab of the EM homepage. The following screenshot shows the OSB target on the Middleware tab.
