This section lists and describes key terms that you
should be familiar with when using the Single Pane of Glass (SPOG)
and Sentinel.
- Sentinel. A standalone server that provides management
and monitoring services across multiple iSM instances throughout
the enterprise.
- Single Pane of Glass (SPOG). A web application interface
to Sentinel that provides users with the ability to manage and monitor
iWay Service Manager (iSM) in an enterprise environment.
- Configuration. An arrangement of descriptive ISM metadata
is used to instantiate iSM. In Sentinel, configurations are packaged
as .ita files, which are also known as templates.
- Server. A single instance of iSM running the master configuration
(for example, base).
- Application. A deployed iSM runtime configuration, also
known as an iWay Integration Application (iIA).
- Envoy. An iSM extension running on a Server, which provides
monitoring and management services to Sentinel.
- Package. A .zip file containing a set of resources including
iSM descriptive metadata and/or file artifacts.
- User. A person who interacts with SPOG.
- Server Task. A Sentinel task that offers services (subprograms).
This is typically a batch task or asynchronous task.
- Health Model. An algorithm designed to detect server
issues that could eventually result in service disruptions.
- Ghosts. Objects that once existed, have disappeared,
but still exist in the Sentinel graph.
- Zombies. An iSM server or application that cannot respond
to requests for status and for which Sentinel does not have a corresponding
history to classify as severe health.
