Every service and service group deployed in a Carbon server has its own Dashboard for management and monitoring. Follow the instructions below to access the dashboard of a service.
1. Log on to the product's management console and select "Services -> List" under the "Main" menu.
2. The "Deployed Services" page appears which lists out all the currently active services. Select a service and click on it to view its dashboard. For example,
A service dashboard provides the following information.
Note
The screenshot shown above is only an example of a basic service dashboard. Depending on the features installed in your product, some of the dashboard controls discussed here may not be available or additional controls may be available.
The "Service Details" panel provides the following details of a service:
WSO2 Carbon provides the following client operations:
WSO2 Carbon also provides information about the endpoints of a service. The service is set to two endpoints by default. For example:
Typically, the endpoint URI is of the format http://{host ip of the server}:{server port}/services/{service name}.
Try This Service
The "Try this service" link directs you to a new window where the operations available the your service is displayed. Using this window, you can check whether your service provides the desired output. The URL for invoking the TryIt tool can also be appended by concatenating the endpoint URL of your service with the following string:
The TryIt link will be enabled in your service dashboard only if "org.wso2.carbon.tryit" feature of the WSO2 feature repository is installed in your Carbon instance.
For more information on the TryIt functionality, refer to section Tools -> Testing WSDLs.
Generate Client
You can easily generate a client for your service using the "Generate Client" option. This functionality is provided by the "wsdl.tools" feature of the WSO2 feature repository. For more information, refer to section Tools -> Generate Java Code for WSDL .
WSDL 1.1 and WSDL 2.0
Click on the links to the WSDL 1.1 and the WSDL 2.0 to open the page with XML configuration. The URLs for the WSDL files of the service can also be appended by concatenating the endpoint URL of the service with the following strings:
The WSDLs describe the operations the service exposes, the structure of the XML that is sent and received by each operation, and how to communicate with the service to retrieve the XML content. By default, six different types of endpoints are deployed. Each of these endpoint types are represented by the WSDL 2.0 <endpoint> elements of the service, and by the <binding> elements which these endpoints refer to. The default six types of endpoints are as follows:
The "Statistics" panel provides statistical information about a service as follows:
It also provides a graphical view of the system response time.
This functionality is provided by the "system.statistics" feature of the WSO2 feature repository. For more information, refer to section "System Monitoring and Statistics -> Access and Performance Statistics."
WSO2 Carbon provides a number of tools to manage the service quality. You can activate the tools individually as required. For more information, refer to section Quality of Service Configuration.
