What is TSAM?

TSAM (Oracle Tuxedo System and Application Monitor) is an add-on product that must be installed apart of Tuxedo. It monitors the most sensitive areas of a Tuxedo application and can be used to monitor real-time performance bottlenecks, determine service models and provide notifications when predefined thresholds are violated.

Architecture:

• Oracle TSAM Framework: Is the data collection engine. Is a separate layer between the Tuxedo infrastructure and the rest of TSAM components.
• Oracle TSAM Plug-in: An extensible mechanism invoked by TSAM Framework. The plug-in by default sends the collected data to LMS server. This plug-in can be replaced by a customized one or can be chained a plug-in to another.
• ORACLE Local Monitor Server (LMS): Tuxedo server is responsible for sending the data to the Oracle TSAM Manager via HTTP. A LMS server is required on each Tuxedo machine that have to be monitored.
• Oracle TSAM Data Server: Is responsible for:
• Accept data from LMS server and store it in the BD.
• Accept requests from the presentation layer and perform data processing.
• Communicate with LMS server to change monitoring configurations.
• Oracle TSAM Console: A web presentation layer based on J2EE.
