What Websphere Business Monitor is
A comprehensive business activity monitoring (BAM) software product that provides an up-to-date (near real-time) view of your business performance Provides visibility into the performance of business activities by processing events, calculating business metrics, and presenting key performance indicators (KPIs) through business dashboards Helps when something goes wrong and in situations where expectations are not met Be aware of potential problems earlier and take actions when specified situations occur Provide BAM solutions to give business users more visibility and insight into the performance of the business and to help them take informed action An Introduction to IBM WebSphere Business Modeler 9/18/2018

Websphere Business Monitor supports quick glance
WebSphere Business Monitor can monitor events from a wide variety of sources: WebSphere Process Server WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus WebSphere Message Broker WebSphere MQ Workflow WebSphere Business Services Fabric WebSphere Business Events IBM FileNet P8 BPM IBM Adapters In fact, business events can be monitored from anywhere CBE events can be generated from their activities An Introduction to IBM WebSphere Business Modeler 9/18/2018

How WebSphere Business Monitor works
When we receive the user requirements for business monitoring, we use the WebSphere Business Monitor Development Toolkit to develop a monitor model. This is an environment to create and test monitor models. Monitor models describe how to process events and how to collect information for use with dashboards. Then we achieve a deployable monitor model application. 2. Next, we deploy the monitor model application to the Monitor server. The monitor model executes and processes the events emitted by the monitored business process or other application. The WebSphere Business Monitor Dashboards provide clients with a number of views for different types of data representation. An Introduction to IBM WebSphere Business Modeler 9/18/2018

Buildtime Architecture
Monitor development environment The WebSphere Business Monitor development toolkit is installed upon Rational® Application Developer or WebSphere Integration Developer, which introduces a new Business Monitoring perspective. With the WebSphere Business Monitor development toolkit, you can develop a monitor model in the Monitor Model Editor. You can load the event definitions that describe the types of events that will be emitted by the monitored applications. WebSphere Business Monitor development toolkit also provides the Monitor test environment with which you can publish your monitor model and unit test by emitting events from monitored applications and verifying the results from the Web dashboard. WebSphere Business Monitor Integrated Test Client helps to emit sample events. By using this tool, you can quickly and conveniently test a monitor model. Monitor test environment An Introduction to IBM WebSphere Business Modeler 9/18/2018

Iterative Development Steps
1. Define the monitor model within the Monitor Model Editor (MME). 2. Generate a J2EE project based on the developed monitor model. 3. Choose a test environment to deploy the model. 4. Publish the tested monitor model to the test environment. 5. Run test events by executing the monitored application or Integrated Test Client, and check the monitoring results through the Web dashboard. 6. Return to the Monitor Model Editor and refine the model. An Introduction to IBM WebSphere Business Modeler 9/18/2018
