AMH Availability Test

Alliance Messaging Hub (AMH) is a modular, financial messaging solution for corporate networks. It allows extensive throughput and sophisticated data management through the use of latest technology to manage messages and files. For AMH to work on the node, the MBeans related to Swift AMH should be registered on the physical node.

This test checks whether AMH MBeans are registered on the current node, and if Swift AMH is running on the physical machine. This test also monitors the AMH and collects the metrics around the time it takes to get a response back from the AMH node.

Target of the test : A Swift AMH node instance

Agent deploying the test : An internal agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for each Swift AMH node being monitored

Configurable parameters for the test

Parameter

Description

Test period

How often should the test be executed.

Host

The host for which the test is to be configured.

Port

The port at which the specified host listens.

SSL

If the JBoss AS/EAP server being monitored is an SSL-enabled server, then set the SSL flag to Yes. If not, then set the SSL flag to No.

JMX Remote Port

Specify the port at which the JMX listens for requests from remote hosts. Ensure that you specify the same port that you configured in the management.properties file in the <JAVA_HOME>\jre\lib\management folder used by the target application Java Applications chapter.

JNDI Name

Specify the lookup name for connecting to the JMX connector of the Swift AMH.

JMX User, JMX Password and Confirm Password

These parameters appear only if the Measurement Mode is set to jmx. If JMX requires authentication only (but no security), then ensure that the JMX User and JMX Password parameters are configured with the credentials of a user with read-write access to JMX. To know how to create this user, refer to the How to Monitor JBoss Application Server Using eG Enterprise? chapter. Confirm the password by retyping it in the Confirm Password text box.

Measures made by the test

Measurement

Description

Measurement Unit

Interpretation

AMH Availability

Indicates if AMH related MBeans are registered on the current node, and if yes, if AMH is running.

Percent

The numeric values will be either 100 or 0 with 100 depicting that AMH MBean present in the Swift AMH Physical Node. 0 depicts that there were no AMH MBeans found registered in the Swift AMH Physical Node.

AMH Responsiveness

Indicates the time it takes for response to come back after a request is fired to current AMH node.

Seconds

The value that this measure reports provides insight into how much time it took for the finding of the AMH MBeans in seconds.
