No services, delayed services, inadequate services and poor or delayed information flow all hinder or prevent the normal course of business. The health of the service-oriented approach, the communication flow and the services themselves directly equate to the health and vitality of the enterprise. By health we mean, availability, performance, integrity, and reliability of web services. This paper proposes and details an agent based approach for web service monitoring in an enterprise environment. The objective of this approach is to provide enhanced security, improved help desk information and attribution across a diverse web services landscape that is logically a system but physically distributed. The definition of the agents, their logical locations, their functionality and relationships has not been described previously. This architecture provides many advantages over previous methodologies for event monitoring including assignment of overlapping responsibilities, reduction in help desk effort and placement of measurements throughout the upper layers of the web services system. This is also the first enumeration of significant events and information requirements at the service level. It also assigns responsibility to the components （agents, handlers or the service itself） for logging and alerting such events. This architecture is currently being implemented by a major defense entity.展开更多
