Enabling Monitoring Agent for SOA monitoring

Enable Monitoring Agent for SOA monitoring to view information monitored by the Monitoring Agent for SOA. The Monitoring Agent for SOA server infrastructure is included with IBM® Cloud Pak System Software; you must deploy it.

You can use the Monitoring Agent for SOA to view service-to-service topology, with the response times for all the interactions integrated across servers and locations. You can also view detailed information for individual instances of a service. For services that are based on IBM Business Process Manager (BPM), you can monitor the interaction of various components that implement the service.

In order to use the Monitoring Agent for SOA monitoring, you must enable the Monitoring Agent for SOA pattern type for the System Monitoring shared service. Monitoring Agent for SOA monitoring only applies to the internal System Monitoring shared service. It does not apply to the external System Monitoring shared service.

You must use different procedures to deploy Monitoring Agent for SOA monitoring, depending on whether an instance of the System Monitoring service has been deployed on your cloud group.
