The GW MTA Service Layer

This layer monitors the GWMTA in and out to reveal the following:

• Availability and responsiveness of the MTA
• Overall MTA health in terms of the throughput seen by the MTA, outstanding messages to the MTA, error-filled messages, etc.
• The health of the MTA's Admin thread
• The type and length of the message queues on the MTA
