Architecture
The following reference architecture diagram and table provide an overview of the components that compose the MainView Middleware Monitor (MVMM) product.
For more information about how to plan your installation and architecture, see Planning.
MVMM basic deployment
The MVMM services do not receive data directly from the Agent. Instead, the services register with the Topic Service as subscribers for the data that they are interested in. The Agent then sends one copy of each piece of information to the Topic Service, which then forwards a copy to each registered subscribing service. This publishing/subscribing architecture minimizes the amount of data that needs to be sent, and the corresponding overhead. This architecture also makes it much easier to support new technologies since the bulk of the components are unaffected (a new extension is simply added).
