Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Steven Carmody <>]

Hi,

I know my question is only tangentially related to Grouper, but at least 
there's a link, even if its weak. Thanks for your patience with this 
question!

Brown replicates group memberships from Grouper to several different 
target systems: ldap, Google, and our LMS. We expect to add other 
targets over time. When changes occur in Grouper, a msg is placed on a 
msg bus. A listener picks up that msg, and has a set of rules telling it 
the one or more targets that the msg should be forwarded to.

As we become more and more reliant on this infrastructure, we're asking 
ourselves what we should monitor with respect to the bus. We're keenly 
interested in the experience of other sites with respect to what sorts 
of problems they've encountered with a bus, and what sort of monitoring 
we should implement.

Is it enough to just make sure that the bus is delivering msgs? (ie have 
a separate Q used by the monitoring software). Or do we need to build 
monitoring into all the Listeners, to make sure that they are all still 
processing msgs ? Or other approaches ?

Thanks in advance for sharing your experience and suggestions!
