h1. Introduction

The Petals BC Soap is composed of several internal components. Each one can be monitored and provides several metrics:
* consumer side:
** incoming requests
*** incoming information request counter,
*** incoming web-service request counter,
*** incoming web-service request response times,
*** incoming unknown request counter,
** thread pool processing web-service requests,
* provider side:
** outgoing web-service request counter,
** outgoing web-service request response times,
** web-service client pool.

See [Creating a graph using a simple data|How to create a graph with Cacti#Creating a graph using a simple data] to graph the incoming requests:
* Script/Command of the data input method: {{petals-cli.sh \-h <petals_host> \-n <petals_jmx_port> \-u <petals_jmx_user> \-p <petals_jmx_password> \-c \-- monitoring \-o petals-bc-soap \-f incoming-http-requests-count \-- \-n <petals-bc-soap-id> \-r}}
* Output fields of the script/command:
|| Name || Description || Type ||
| {{Information}} | Number of information request received | COUNTER |
| {{Unknown}} | Number of unknown request received | COUNTER |
| {{WS}} | Number of web-service request received | COUNTER |

* Output fields of the script/command:
|| Name || Description || Type ||
| {{HttpServerThreadPoolAllocatedThreadsMax}} | The maximum number of allocated threads | GAUGE |
| {{HttpServerThreadPoolAllocatedThreadsCurrent}} | The current number of allocated threads | GAUGE |
| {{HttpServerThreadPoolIdleThreadsMax}} | The maximum number of idle threads | GAUGE |
| {{HttpServerThreadPoolIdleThreadsCurrent}} | The current number of idle threads | GAUGE |
