  • Event structure consists of (name, value) tuples of business data, metadata and correlation data.
Powerful, On-time Data Analysis and Dashboards.
  • Tools for creating customized dashboards with zero code.
  • Ability to write arbitrary dashboards powered by WSO2 Gadget Server, Google Gadgets and {JaggeryJS}.
  • Comprehensive management and monitoring Web console with enterprise-level security integrated.
  • Built-in collection and monitoring of standard access and performance statistics.
  • JMX MBeans for key metrics monitoring and management.
  • Flexible logging support with integration to enterprise logging systems.
Cloud-Enabled, Lightweight, Developer-Friendly and Easy-to-Deploy
  • Scales from a single JVM download to high-end deployments involving 10s of servers.
  • Choice of deployment from on-premise servers to private or public cloud without configuration changes.
  • Integrated user store and management of all components, including Apache Cassandra and Apache Hadoop.
  • Integrated to WSO2 Developer Studio, Eclipse-based IDE for all WSO2 products.
  • Allows developers to pick either a REST interface or Apache Thrift, which supports popular languages, such as C, C++, and Java.
  • Real-life samples explained.

High Performance Data Capture Framework

  • High performance, low latency API for receiving large volumes of business events over various transports including Apache Thrift, REST, HTTP and Web services.
  • Scalable event storage into Apache Cassandra using columns families per event type.
  • Non-blocking, multi-threaded, low impact Java Agent SDK for publishing events from any Java based system.
  • Use of Apache Thrift, HTTP and Web services allows event publishing from any language or platform.
  • Horizontally scalable with load balancing and high available deployment.

Provisioning Capability

  • Because of the modular, OSGi-based, award-winning Carbon platform, WSO2 BAM can be easily extended by installing additional Carbon components in a simple, point- and-click deployment.

Pre-Built Data Agents for all WSO2 Products

  • Service Data Agent combined with shared code base of all fully componentized WSO2 Carbon enterprise middleware products.
  • Mediation Data Agent for WSO2 Enterprise Service Bus.
