Ebam/Introduction
The eBAM (extended Business Activity Monitoring) project aims to realize an advanced platform for the monitoring of the heterogeneous services and applications (infrastructures, processes, components) and the historical analysis of data. eBAM allows users to set the governance rules of their own monitoring systems, by defining the events and services threshold included in the BAM systems, so that users can view the most relevant events on their own system at runtime.
Components
The distribution of eBAM is composed by a runtime and a designer component, the runtime is composed by OSGI plugins that implement the specific runtime features of the platform, for example:
- Adapter Management
- Rules and Events engines Management
- Alarm Management
So, the componets of the runtime are responsible of the management of the eBAM information flow. The runtime is released as a server built over Equinox, that can be automatically started by the runtime.bat file. The eBAM designer is composed by eclipse plugins that run inside eclipse and activate a new Menu Item to use the wizards to configure eBAM. An Eclipse Helios distribution with eBAM designer is released. Both the runtime and the design interact with the metamodel which contains all the informations managed by ebam. In the release, the DBMS H2 is used to interact with the metamodel, through eclipse link, however is easy to modify the DBMS, as explained in the related chapter
