SOAP Monitoring – Site24x7

Monitor the Performance and Reliability of SOAP Web services

Agenda• Highlights – SOAP Monitoring• Web services, WSDL and SOAP• Easy Setup using intuitive wizard• Response Validation• Global visibility into end user experience• Performance Metrics

Highlights – SOAP Monitoring• Easily set-up and test a SOAP request XML confined to SOAP

envelope rules using an intuitive wizard• Gain global performance visibility of your SOAP web services

by tracking response time and throughput globally• Capture and combine broad array of metrics• Configure attributes and its values to get notified whenever

the SOAP response XML does not validate against the requisite criteria

Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP)• An XML-based protocol for accessing web services• It works on existing protocols, like HTTP and SMTP• Secure and lightweight

W3C definition -

Web services

A Web service is a software system designed to support interoperable machine-to-machine interaction over a network. It has an interface described in a machine-processable format (specifically WSDL). Other systems interact with the Web service in a manner prescribed by its description using SOAP messages, typically conveyed using HTTP with an XML serialization in conjunction with other Web-related standards.”

Web Services Description Language (WSDL)

• An XML format to describe Web services• Developed by Microsoft, IBM, and Ariba to describe Web services for their

SOAP toolkit• WSDL XML describes all the operations supported by the Web service,

including the input and output parameters of these operations

Sample WSDLs:

http://www.webservicex.com/globalweather.asmx?wsdl http://www.predic8.com/crm/CustomerService?wsdl http://www.unifiedsoftware.co.uk/bankvaluk3.wsdl http://www.restfulwebservices.net/wcf/CurrencyService.svc?wsdl

Easy Setup using intuitive wizard• Invoke any operation supported by a Web service with the aid of a SOAP request

XML confined to SOAP envelope rules• Click “Get Operations” to initiate the construction of the SOAP request XML

Provide WSDLProvide the required WSDL url in the SOAP wizard.

Select OperationChoose the relevant operation defined in the web service, from the drop-down.

Configure Input Values• Populate the text fields with the relevant values• Generate the SOAP request XML for the selected operation

Initiate Request• Apply the generated SOAP request XML to make a sample request to the server • Retrieve a success or fail response from the server

API StatusClick “save to monitor” to auto fill the Endpoint url, request body, and the HTTP headers in the “Add Monitor page”.

Response ValidationConfigure attributes and its values to get notified whenever the SOAP response XML does not validate against the requisite criteria.
