Managing events

This section describes how to manage events, including how to record and play back events and how to handle event sequencing.

  • Recording events
    You can enable event recording for a specific event source. After events are recorded, you can play them back targeted to a specific monitor model version.
  • Event sequencing
    When a set of events is sent to IBM® Business Monitor from the same event producer, such as an instance of a process, it is typically important that the events be processed in the order in which they were produced. Events can erroneously be delivered to a monitor model in the wrong order for several reasons, such as asynchronous event emission and network delays. For models where event order is important, incorrect event sequence order can result in model processing exceptions and incorrectly calculated data. IBM Business Monitor has a mechanism for putting the events back into the correct order for processing.
  • Managing failed events using scripts
    You can manage failed event sequence instances in the wsadmin scripting client by invoking the operations provided by the FailedEventSequenceManager managed beans (MBeans).
  • Managing failed event sequences and unrecoverable events
    You can use the WebSphere® Application Server administrative console to manually manage failed event sequences and unrecoverable events.
