Service Activity Monitoring

Service Activity Monitoring allows you to log and/or monitor service calls done with the Apache CXF Framework. Typical use cases are usage statistics and fault monitoring. The solution consists of two parts: Agent (sam-agent) and Monitoring Server (sam-server). The Agent creates events out of the requests and replies on service consumer and provider side. The events are first collected locally and then sent to the monitoring server periodically to not disturb the normal message flow. The Monitoring Server receives events from the Agent, optionally filters/handlers events and stores them into a Database. The Agent is packaged as a JAR that needs to be on the classpath of the service consumer and provider. The Monitoring Server is deployed as a WAR in a servlet container and needs access to a database.
