Installing the Template

Procedure

1. BankMBean:

   public String[] getExceededClientsNames();

1. Bank:

   public String[] getExceededClientsNames() {
      return transaction.getExceededClientsNames();
   }

This method provides the names of all clients that have exceeded 10,000 EUR.

This is the dynamically supplied information that enables the template to install new monitors of a certain type on the fly. All dynamically installed monitors are grouped under a summary named List of txs over 10,000 EUR.

1. Modify the monitor-configuration.xml:
   1. Define the monitor-semantics:

1. Define the monitor-tree:

   <summary name="List of txs over 10,000 EUR" configuration-group="ExceededClientsNames">
         <object name="%0" configuration-group="Exceeded">
    
             <template-info template-name="ExceededClients">
             <polled-by-template period="1" unit="MINUTE">
               <generating-resource name="BankMBean" type="APPLICATION"/>
               <template-attribute-mapping>
                 <observed-resource-attribute name="ExceededClientsNames"/>
               </template-attribute-mapping>
             </polled-by-template>
           </template-info>
    
           <integer-monitor name="Amount" configuration-group="ExceededClientsMoney">
             <monitored-resource name="BankMBean" type="APPLICATION"/>
             <integer-attribute-mapping>
               <integer-attribute>
                 <invoked-resource-method name="getExceededClientsMoney">
                <parameter position="0" type="String" value="%0"/>
               </invoked-resource-method>
               </integer-attribute>
             </integer-attribute-mapping>
           </integer-monitor>  
    
           <long-monitor name="Transaction duration" configuration-group="tsDuration">
             <monitored-resource name="BankMBean" type="APPLICATION"/>
             <long-attribute-mapping>
               <long-attribute>
                 <invoked-resource-method name="getTransactionDuration">
                <parameter position="0" type="String" value="%0"/>
               </invoked-resource-method>
               </long-attribute>
             </long-attribute-mapping>
           </long-monitor>
    
         </object>

The element that installs the template is <template-info> . In the case of this example, this element specifies that on each new entry in the dynamically supplied data, the monitoring framework must install a new subtree of monitors which, as a root, has an object with the name of the respective client, and configuration group Exceeded.

Result

The List of txs over 10,000 EUR monitor appears in the monitoring tree under Applications → Bank Information.
