Monitoring integration platforms

Usage of a robust observability in the integration layer is an often overlooked best practice. The monitoring solution put in place can help facilitate better and faster decision-making. Providing the observability cover only on the source or destination platforms may not suffice in a complex application landscape that involves frequent data flows over diverse applications.

Key components

An effective integration platform observability solution should comprise of the following components.

Logging

Capture log events in detail.

Monitoring

Monitoring, not just for errors, but also to measure metrics like error rate, message throughput etc.

Tracing

How swiftly the journey of a transaction can be traced across varied app landscapes can have a major impact on MTTR and issue resolution time.

Alerting

Provisioning alerting mechanisms to notify key stakeholders can help mitigate potential disaster incidents and improve the overall quality of first response.

Anomoly detection

Employ machine learning algorithms to identify unusual patterns or deviations from normal behavior.

Why integration monitoring?

Observability in the integration layer is crucial to achieve:

  • Proactive issue resolution: it allows for early anomaly detection and captures performance degradations before the overall system is impacted.
  • Optimization: it provides insights into integrated system performance and can help reduce bottlenecks and enhance efficiency.
  • Reliability: monitoring critical metrics and maintaining detailed logs ensure the reliability of the integration platform, vital for meeting SLAs and enhancing user experience.
  • Minimizing downtime: quick issue identification reduces recovery time. Automating recovery steps can ensure uninterrupted data flow between apps and services.
  • Scalability: an often overlooked aspect is understanding the impact of load on the integration layer. While good observability is crucial for compliance, a great solution empowers decision-makers with informed choices, enabling resource scaling as needed and balancing resource costs.
