TIBCO EMS

Automatic and intelligent observability with trace and metric insights.

  • Product information
  • Release notes

Overview

With Dynatrace, you can get observability for TIBCO EMS without touching any code, thanks to automatic monitoring. Seamless end-to-end traces for connected producer and consumer services allow you to diagnose anomalies and pinpoint the root cause of the broken code before your customers are affected. Comprehensive metrics give you insight into the health and performance of your TIBCO EMS brokers, queues, and topics. Events point you to critical anomalies, reducing the mean time to repair.

Use cases

  • Capture every message across tiers without blind spots.
  • Troubleshoot asynchronous service problems across your stack proactively.
  • Improve the performance of your producer and consumer services end-to-end.
  • Prevent message processing anomalies to reduce the mean time to repair.
  • Monitor the health and performance of all your brokers, topics, and queues.

Get started

Messaging clients (applications)

To get trace insight:

  • Install OneAgent on the virtual machine or server of your messaging clients (applications).
  • Set up Dynatrace on Kubernetes or OpenShift for your messaging client (application) workloads.

To get log insight:

  • Activate log monitoring.

Messaging servers (brokers)

Prerequisites:

  • TIBCO EMS broker 8.x or higher on a supported Linux or Windows operating system.
  • OneAgent version 1.256+
  • Dynatrace version 1.256+
  • The dtuser account must be able to execute tibemsadmin, usually installed under TIBCO_HOME/bin.
  • A monitoring account must be created with sufficient privileges to run show commands under tibemsadmin.
  • Statistics must be enabled inside TIBCO EMS.
  • If using SSL, provide a valid certificate so the extension can connect.

To get metric insight:

  1. Install OneAgent on the virtual machine or server of your TIBCO EMS broker process.
  2. Ensure your TIBCO EMS broker process is monitored.
  3. Select in Dynatrace Add to environment to configure the extension:
    • User: Internal TIBCO account with sufficient privileges to run tibemsadmin commands.
    • Password: The user password.
    • Secure Connection: Select no for TCP or yes for SSL. Ensure the correct listener is enabled.
    • Capture System Queues: Select yes to capture System Queues.
    • Monitoring Rules: Set of rules that will filter in or out the queues or topics based on their names.
  4. Open the TIBCO EMS Overview dashboard.

Extension

The Tibco EMS extension detects multiple EMS instances and gathers information from each one of them. It can connect with or without SSL for more secure deployments. You can filter in and out your queues and topics with rules. Once it’s configured, you can easily define custom alerts to notify your Operations team of any issues, such as queues filling up. It also creates a custom topology for all three entities, each one with its own custom screens, and links it to the automatic SmartScape topology.

The dashboard Tibco EMS Overview will be included in the extension. From there, you can navigate to the list of all the entities created by the extension; brokers, queues and topics. Each individual entity will have its own screen to view its metrics and navigate to the related entities.

Additionally, a new section will appear in the monitored host called Tibco EMS brokers, where you can navigate to the monitored brokers of the selected host. Likewise, a new section will appear in the process group instance's screen to navigate to its related broker. Make sure to have the new screens for both enabled to view these new sections.

All metrics can also be viewed with the data explorer, they are prefixed with EMS2.

You can use the included Feature Sets to control which metrics will be monitored.

ReleaseDate

Full version history

  • Added new backwards-compatible configuration for specifying the ports the extension needs to check when these are not found in the process properties automatically reported by the OneAgent.

  • Added new configuration parameters to allow for manual configuration of Tibco instances instead of using auto-discovery. This is useful when the OneAgent is unable to detect the Tibco EMS technology on a Tibco process, or when the process is missing required metadata, like listening port.

Full version history

  • Fixed a bug where processes without any listening ports would still crash the extension.

Full version history

  • Add new timeout parameter to configure the timeout when calling the broker on a specific port to check if it's listening or not
  • Tibco EMS processes which have no listening port will be skipped

Full version history

  • Fixed a bug where changing the default log folders for the OneAgent would make the extension break.

Full version history

  • Updated libraries to avoid security risk

Full version history

Fix a bug with the libraries included in version 1.0.7 that prevented the extension from running.
