Service Monitor, previously known as SOA Monitor, is a centralized, light-weight service execution monitoring and management tool. It fetches data and statistics for each instance of a Web service request and response and provides monitoring capability for Oracle E-Business Suite Web services.
You can view all runtime SOAP request and response data received and sent from Oracle SOA Suite through the Service Monitor user interface in Oracle E-Business Suite. Additionally, Service Monitor provides auditing records for the service execution details if the auditing feature is enabled.
Attention: Only SOAP services are monitored and audited through Service Monitor. Runtime REST service monitoring and auditing features are not supported in this release.
For the monitoring purpose, Service Monitor stores basic information about service execution for all the services such as instance ID, integration interface details, SOAP header, start date, end date, status and so on. Please note that it does not store SOAP request and response payloads along with the attachments unless the auditing feature is turned on.
When the auditing feature is enabled, Service Monitor saves the payloads of SOAP requests and responses, fault messages, and attachments if they are available for an instance. This auditing feature provides additional audit trails for integration administrators to quickly retrieve service execution details as well as identify errors or exceptions if occurred.
Attention: Enabling Service Auditing Feature Using the Configuration Subtab
For the monitoring feature, Service Monitor is a permanent monitoring tool and it is enabled at all times to monitor all Oracle E-Business Suite Web services. However, its auditing feature needs to be explicitly enabled at the interface or service level through the Log & Audit Setup Details page.
For more information on how to enable the auditing feature along with log configuration at the interface or service level, see Adding a New Configuration.
