Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) is a middleware infra-structure that provides a way to integrate
loosely-coupled heterogeneous software applications based on the Service Oriented Architecture
principles. The life-cycle management of services in such highly changing environments
is a critical issue for the component’s reuse, maintenance and operation.
This work introduces a service life-cycle management module that extends the traditional
functionalities with advanced monitoring and data analytics to contribute for the robustness
and self-organization of networks of clusters based on ESB platforms. The realization of this
module was embedded in the JBoss ESB, considering a sniffer mechanism to collect relevant
details of the service messages crossing the bus. A Liferay portal was created to display information
related to the services’ health.
