Welcome to JaxView, a versatile and cost-effective Web services management and governance tool for IT Operations.
JaxView is designed to monitor the performance and availability of Web service-enabled applications. It does this by listening to real-time messages exchanged with a Web services application or endpoint. JaxView can be configured to gather this message data in several ways including being deployed as a proxy server, the use of agent stubs, subscription to a Message Broker service, or through a network analyzer.
When used as a proxy server or service gateway, JaxView can be configured to enforce security requirements and runtime governance policies. This includes client authentication, message signature verification, encryption, message schema modification, content-based service routing, and service traffic metering.
JaxView is designed for integration with other SOA components and systems. This includes using third-party databases, interfacing with JMS service busses, querying directory services, and sending event notifications to ticketing systems. JaxView can be configured to synchronize its service information with UDDI-compliant registries. JaxView also supports the use of WS-Policy statements.
JaxView includes many monitor types that allow the user to gather metrics from the messages being exchanged in the SOA environment. The object model used in JaxView allows you to create monitor template definitions that can be deployed uniformly and quickly to monitor multiple service endpoints. The monitors have flexible threshold settings which when met, can trigger an event notification.
JaxView includes a number of alert types that are used as event notification actions. JaxView includes a Rule engine that gives the user more flexibility on when event actions are triggered. For example if the Monitor threshold has been met for 3 messages in a row, trigger an event action.
JaxView also includes reporting tools that allow the user to generate reports on all of the metrics gathered. There reports can then be emailed to other users.
JaxView was designed with the needs of development and operations groups in mind. Almost every aspect of JaxView is customizable. This includes an open API for creating your own monitor types, alert actions, and logging options.
The User Guide describes how JaxView can be used to help manage Web services in qualification and production. It includes descriptions of the many features and how to configure them. Use the Table of Contents link in the left side panel to navigate to different sections of the documentation.
