WebSphere Business Monitor architecture

The architecture of WebSphere® Business Monitor 6.0 comprises a set of internal components and a group of external components.

Business Measures Models, which are defined in WebSphere Business Modeler, are a key part of monitoring. In a business measures model, you define the measuring points, event filters, measurements, their correlations, and the sources of business data. When the business measures model is complete, you export it to WebSphere Business Monitor. WebSphere Business Monitor recognizes the models to be monitored and the measurements to be captured from incoming events.

Dashboard views display Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that are created from the collected events, based on a model, to create graphical representations of those values through. Notifications are generated about situations and actions, according to a defined condition, to perform corrective actions and detect and prevent failures during operation.

All these actions are achieved through a set of internal components:
Other external components integral to the monitor operation are:
