Service Response Monitoring

The Service Response Monitoring Application Insight Module (SRM AIM) is a functional extension (plug-in) for SystemEDGE. SRM retrieves the responsiveness of a logical or physical service that runs on the local or on a remote system. SRM is Java-based and multi-threaded and handles multiple test configurations across multiple servers. SRM executes preconfigured or custom tests to measure the elapsed time and throughput of execution.

The following diagram illustrates these relationships.

The svcrsp.cf configuration file contains the test specifications. The SRM AIM reads this configuration file and makes the test specifications available in the shared memory segment. The SRM Jcollector component reads each test configuration from the shared memory. Jcollector executes the tests, collects the results of this timing process, and propagates the results to the SRM AIM. SystemEDGE sends these results and associated status information to CA Virtual Assurance.

The Service Response Monitor (SRM) AIM monitors the availability and response time of critical system services, such as DNS, DHCP, or SQL-based on defined thresholds. Enable this functionality by creating SRM tests. SRM tests let you do the following:

CA Virtual Assurance provides the following functionality for the SRM AIM:
