Ghost Agents

This article was originally published in VSJ, which is now part of Developer Fusion.
Two new Ghost Agent components, for Oracle and JBoss application servers, have been added to the Progress Actional service-oriented architecture (SOA) management suite.

The Actional Looking Glass product, together with the Ghost Agent components, provide business-process visibility across even the most complex SOA environments through automated discovery of services, service callers, and end-to-end business transactions. The Ghost Agents actively monitor end-to-end SOA transactions and enforce both security and business policies, such as Service Level Agreements, without requiring changes to application code or business processes, or adding any perceptible latency to service execution.

The Actional suite monitors and controls both short-running synchronous as well as long-running asynchronous business transactions as they flow across a wide variety of technologies, such as SOAP/WS-*, HTTP, .NET, JMS, JDBC, RMI and EJB, application servers such as WebLogic, WebSphere and JBoss, and network appliances such as Cisco AON, Reactivity and Layer 7, as well as multiple brands of ESB including the Sonic ESB and the BEA AquaLogic Service Bus.
