Why Monitor Solace Cluster?
Solace cluster provides increased fault tolerance and overall service availability than standalone event broker services. This is achieved using an active/standby redundancy model. However, any setbacks in the redundancy health, or Message spool or ConfigSync health can cause issues in the resynchronization of Guaranteed messages and Guaranteed Messaging state between the primary and standby broker. This will eventually lead to replication issues and message loss. Similarly, node availability round the clock and node connectivity plays a major role in providing uninterrupted messaging services to the clients. Hence, continuous monitoring of the nodes and health of Solace cluster is very essential to provide a highly available and fail safe service to the users. This is exactly where eG Enterprise can help you. eG provides a special purpose Solace Cluster monitoring model. Using this model, you are proactively alerted on any shortcomings on the health and performance of the cluster way before it degrades the user experience.
