Autonomic Event Services (AES)

Autonomic Event Services, also known as AES, is a PRPC application that automatically monitors, retrieves, and organizes the alert data from one or more clustered PRPC systems throughout the enterprise. AES provides reports, charts, and diagnostic information about the events that triggered the alerts and the degree to which they are hindering system performance. AES aggregates key alerts into work items (action items), which you can assign to engineering resources for remediation and resolution.

AES provides an Enterprise Health dashboard, which monitors and displays performance-related system statistics at the enterprise, cluster, and node levels. This data includes the number of requestors and agents running, percentage of memory used, CPU usage, and so on. The dashboard flags, in real time, critical and warning conditions so that the operator can quickly address the issues as they occur.

AES is installed on a dedicated server. AES Enterprise provides reports at the system level (consolidating all nodes in a cluster) and for individual nodes.

When installed, the Autonomic Event Services component stores alerts in the pegaam_alert database table and other pegaam_* tables. Base PRPC operations do not use these tables.

See the PDN article About Autonomic Event Services (AES), Enterprise Edition.

Note: Pega provides the Predictive Diagnostic Cloud, which allows you to benefit from AES without installing it locally.
