The SOA Service Manager provides a mechanism that allows you to create and edit monitoring policies. For example, Figure 1 shows the screen for applying a policy template and activating monitoring for an application.

The SOA Service Manager also provides usage information for applications, services, and individual send ports and receive locations. This information includes charts displaying the relative usage of each operation and usage over time, service usage, and response time information. Figure 2 shows some examples.
