Lab 2: Anypoint Monitoring

Overview

Understanding the state of your infrastructure and systems is important for ensuring the reliability and stability of your services. As part of Anypoint Platform, Anypoint Monitoring provides visibility into integrations across your app network. The monitoring tools provide feedback from Mule flows and components in your app network.

In this lab we are going to review Builtin Dashboards and Custom Dashboards. This funtionality can be found in the base subscription. Advanced monitoring capabilities available through the Titanium licensing package are not covered in this lab.

Step 1: Browse Built-in Dashboards

Dashboards in Anypoint Monitoring provide visibility into Mule apps and APIs that are deployed to your environments. In this Step we are going to review Built-in Dashboards.

  1. Go to Monitoring

  2. Select Built-in dashboards on the left side.

  3. Choose:

    1. Environment: Sandbox

    2. Resource name: mon-omni-channel-api-<id>

  4. Press View

    module6 lab2 select builtin

  5. You will see an Overview panel with numerous out-of-the-box graphs generated from standard metrics collected by Anypoint Monitoring.

    3. Here you can see different dashboards grouped by

      • Overview

      • Inbound

      • Outbound

      • Performance

      • Failures

      • JVM

      • Infrastructure

  6. Navigate over those items to see the different dashboards.

Step 2: Create Custom Dashboard

We’ve already seen the different graphics that comes out of the box. You can see them filtered by application. In this section we will create and customize dashboards with different APIs and Metrics.

You will see that you can retreive metrics from both the Runtime Manager and the API Manager. In this lab we are going to concentrate on Runtime Manager metrics.

  1. Go to Monitoring section and then select Custom dashboards.

  2. Press the New Dashboard button.

  13. Press the X that is on the right side of the panel.

  14. Press Save Changes button.

    We are going to move the Table panel and place it in-line with the Avg Response Time panel.

    The UI gives the ability to drag and drop panels and graphics.

  15. Click to the right of the three dots associated with the row on the left side of the panel.

    module6 lab2 table drag

  16. Drag and Drop the Table panel into the Graph panel.

    You can use the right bottom corner of each panel to adjust it size before moving the panel.

    Since we moved the Table, you will see that there is an Empty Space section. Let’s remove that.

  17. Move the pointer to the Empty Space panel. You will see three dots on the left side of the panel.

    module6 lab2 empty space selection

  18. Point with the pointer to those dots. A new panel will appear.

    module6 lab2 empty space delete

  19. Select Delete

    At the end you should see something like this:

    module6 lab2 saved3

Step 5: Create Single Stats Graphics

In this section we are going to add single stat graphic for the System APIs. We would like to know if the avg response times of the system APIs are less than 10 seconds.

  1. Press the Add row button.

  7. In the Gauge check the Show box.

    1. Change the Max value to 10000. Max Value means that a response time of 10000 ms or more will be unacceptable.

      module6 lab2 stats options

      This graph will be green if the response time less than 4s, orange if it is between 4s and 7s and red if its over 7s.

  8. Click the 'X' button to close the panel.

    This is the final result

    module6 lab2 product stat

    We will replicate the same graphic for the Order API and the Customer API.

  9. Click on the three dots section for the Singlestat panel and choose Duplicate.

  10. Go to the second panel and select Configure.

    module6 lab2 duplicate stat

  11. Change the Title to Order API Avg Response Time

  12. Change the Resource field and select mon-order-api-<id>

  13. Click the 'X' button to close the panel.

  14. Press the Save Changes button.

    module6 lab2 order stat

    We are going to repeat the last steps to Create the Customer API Panel.

    We would like to have the singlestat at the beginning, so let’s move the panel to the top.

  21. Point to the left three dots of the last panel.

  22. Select Move Up twice.

    module6 lab2 last dashboard

    Now it looks perfect. You can save the changes.
