3. Business Activity Monitoring
“The aggregation, analysis, and
presentation of real-time information
about activities inside organizations
and involving customers and
partners.” - Gartner

4. Convergence of SOA & BAM
“Some people would go SOA
just for BAM”
“With business functions as
services, monitoring a whole
company is just monitoring
the services”

5. Modelling a monitoring scenario
●
The flow of a monitoring scenario will consist of 3
parts
– Data Aggregation
– Data Analysis
– Data Presentation

6. Aggregation
●
Capturing data
●
Event storage
●
What data to capture
as events?

7. Analysis
●
Data operations
●
Operate on old data or
new data or both?
●
Building KPIs
● Building BI

8. Presentation
●
Visualizing KPIs
●
Custom Dashboards
●
Tools
● Not just dashboards!

9. BAM 2.0 – A complete revamp
Performance, Scalability and Customizability

10. Why a complete revamp?
●
Performance – Extremely important to be non-
intrusive
●
Scalability – Scalability on multiple sides
● Customizability – Everyone's use case is different,
even in the same organization ex: operations,
CEOs, marketing

11. Use Cases of BAM
●
Tracking server statistics
●
Auditing
●
KPI Monitoring
● Fault detection
● Business Intelligence

12. Architecture

13. Modular Architecture
●
Each component is individually scalable
●
Makes use of the Carbon platform's
install/uninstall feature. Ex: Download BAM,
uninstall all features except for the Event
Receiver, and you end up with a BAM server with
just the Event Receiver
●
Based on event load and data volume, we can
decide what needs to be scaled

14. Event Receiver

15. Data Agents
●
Get data across to BAM – handlers, mediators,
web services
●
Simple API to embed for 3rd party applications
● Asynchronous & non-blocking
● Minimum processing
● Thrift for high performance message throughput

16. Agent API
EventReceiver eventReceiver = new EventReceiver();
eventReceiver.setSocketTransportEnabled(true);
eventReceiver.setUrl("https://localhost:9443/");
eventReceiver.setUserName("admin");
eventReceiver.setPassword("admin");
eventReceiver.setPort(7611);
events.add(johnEvent);
BasicConfigurator.configure();
setTrustStoreParams();
Agent agent = new Agent();
agent.publish(events, eventReceiver);
agent.shutdown();

17. Event Receiver
●
Extremely efficient with minimum conversions
●
In-built security
● Invisible in most use cases

18. The Analyzer Framework

19. The Analyzer Framework (cont.)
●
The workhorse of BAM
●
A unit is an analyzer; Ex: get, aggregate, order,
failure, alert
●
A set of analyzers consist of an analyzer sequence
● Schedule the sequence; Ex: once a day, once a
minute, every Wednesday at 12.15, every 30th at
12 midnight
● If the given analyzers don't work, just plug your
own – custom analyzer

20. A sample sequence – UI

21. A sample sequence - xml
<analyzerSequence name="productSummarizer">
<trigger cron="1 * * * * ? *"/>
<analyzers>
<get name="orders" fromLastCursor="true" batchSize="3"/>
<lookup default="EVENT"/>
<aggregate>
<measure name="quantity" aggregationType="SUM"/>
</aggregate>
<put name="productSummary" indexRow="allKeys">
</analyzers>
</analyzerSequence>

22. A sample 'index' analyzer - UI

23. The Presentation Layer

24. Presentation Layer
●
Not just dashboards, also includes alerts, reports
●
Gadget IDE - Quick and easy WYSIWYG tool
●
Minimum processing – Let the analyzers do that
● Point to a data source and build your visual
elements

25. Gadget IDE – Drag and drop gadgets - Data
Flow view

26. Gadget IDE – Drag and drop gadgets - Design
view

27. Dashboards

28. A BAM Framework

29. Summary
●
BAM + SOA
●
Aggregation, Analysis & Presentation
●
