The Prometheus and Grafana combination is rapidly becoming ubiquitous in the world of IT monitoring. There are many good reasons for this. They are free open source toolkits, so easy to get hold of and try out and so there is a lot of crowd sourced help available online to getting started, and this even includes documentation from the developers of middleware such as IBM MQ and RabbitMQ.

There’s a lot to consider when engineering and implementing software, whether as an update patch or a newly-introduced product. End users have certain expectations when introduced to new or updated software—at the top of the list are aesthetics, ease of use, stability, and response time—the last two of which can be significantly improved when you employ application performance management or APM.

Complex enterprises have an integration infrastructure (i2) layer that connects technologies and applications across cloud, data center, virtualized systems, mainframe, edge computing, etc.

Integration Infrastructure Management (i2M) is the “management” of the i2 layer and includes:

  • Configuration and security management
  • Monitoring and fault management
  • Alerting and automation
  • Performance optimization

The i2 layer includes a core middleware application (such as IBM MQ) along with many other “integration” technologies, such as MFT (managed file transfer), IoT, REST APIs, DataPower Gateway, and other messaging technologies (i.e., Kafka, TIBCO EMS, IBM ACE, IBM Integration Bus (IIB) and more).

Messaging Middleware - Large enterprises generally expend about ¼ of their entire IT budget on the systems and processes to connect the disparate systems that make up complex application stacks.

When you look at how business processes are architected, they nearly always make use of a myriad of different infrastructure elements, platforms and applications, and these are all interconnected using an array of messaging middleware systems that ensure that every single request is processed even when the capacity and performance of some components causes requests to be stacked in queues.

The secret to exploiting your investment in messaging middleware!

Cloud - Business applications have continued to become more complex, and the tools we all rely on to monitor performance have not always kept up.

The basic model that APM relies on, starts by capturing performance metrics and then using the knowledge developers and administrators have about the how these metrics can be analyzed to describe the performance of specific business processes.
