AMH SAG-Cluster Services Test

SWIFTAlliance Gateway (SAG) is a SWIFT software product that provides applications and services with access to the SWIFT Secure IP Network (SIPN). In the FTM SWIFT documentation, the term SAG is used to indicate one instance of the SAG software. A SAG cluster is a group of SAGs that process outbound request messages that originate from a common source, and so share a common workload. Given the SAG cluster handles the processing part of AMH, it is very important to monitor the same so as to ensure ti is working and servicing the request at any given time.

This test monitors the SAG cluster and reports the status, which helps administrators understand if the cluster in its current state is suitable to process important transactions.

Target of the test : A Swift AMH messaging hub

Agent deploying the test : An internal agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for each Swift AMH being monitored.

Configurable parameters for the test
Parameter	Description
Test period	How often should the test be executed
Host	The host for which the test is to be configured.
Port	The port at which the specified host listens.
SSL	If the JBoss AS/EAP server being monitored is an SSL-enabled server, then set the SSL flag to Yes. If not, then set the ssl flag to No.
JMX Remote Port	Specify the port at which the JMX listens for requests from remote hosts. Ensure that you specify the same port that you configured in the management.properties file in the <JAVA_HOME>\jre\lib\management folder used by the target application Java Applications chapter.
JNDI Name	Specify the lookup name for connecting to the JMX connector of the Swift AMH.
JMX User, JMX Password and Confirm Password	These parameters appear only if the Measurement Mode is set to jmx. If JMX requires authentication only (but no security), then ensure that the JMX User and JMX Password parameters are configured with the credentials of a user with read-write access to JMX. To know how to create this user, refer to the How to Monitor JBoss Application Server Using eG Enterprise? chapter. Confirm the password by retyping it in the Confirm Password text box.
JMX Registry SSL	If you have registered the JMX connector in an SSL-enabled RMI registry , set this flag to Yes. By default, this is set to No.

Indicates the current status of AMH SAG Cluster services.

The numeric values that correspond to these measure values are as follows:

Measure Value	Numeric Value
Open	4
Connected	5
Active	6
