After a Web service client is installed and started, you can get information about the client, such as its associated application and module, context root, invocation and error counts, and so on.

To monitor a Web service client:

In the left pane of the Administration Console, select Deployments.
In the right pane, navigate within the Deployments table until you find the application module associated with the Web service client that you want to monitor.
In the Deployments table, click the name of the application module.
Select Monitoring > Web Service Clients to display the list of Web service clients.
The table provides a summary of information for each Web service client.

For each client, runtime monitoring information is displayed, such as the invocation, response, and error counts; execution, response, and dispatch time averages; and so on. You can customize the information that is shown in the table by clicking Customize this table.

Click the client name in the table to view more information.
Select Monitoring > General to display general statistics about the Web service client.
This page displays the Web service client name, its associated Enterprise application and application module, and context root. Error and invocations statistics are aggregated for all servers on which the Web service is running.
Select Monitoring > Invocations to display statistics related to the Web service client invocations.
Error, invocations, and response statistics are aggregated for all servers on which the Web service is running.
Select Monitoring > WS-Policy to display statistics related to the policies that are attached to the Web service client, organized into the following categories: authentication, authorization, confidentiality, and integrity.
Fault, violations, and success counts are aggregated for all servers on which the Web service client is running.
Select Monitoring > Servers for a table listing the server on which the client is currently running.
Click the client name and then use the tabs in the following steps to view more information about the Web service client on that server.
Select Monitoring > Servers > General to display general statistics about the Web service client.
This page displays information such as the Web service client port, its associated Enterprise application, and application module, context root, and so on. Error and invocations counts are aggregated for all Web service client operations.
Select Monitoring > Servers > Invocations to display statistics related to the Web service client invocations.
Invocation, response, and error statistics are aggregated for all Web service client operations
Select Monitoring > Servers > Cluster Routing to display cluster routing statistics for the Web service client.
Request, response, and routing counts and failures are aggregated for all Web service client operations.
Select Monitoring > Servers > Reliable Messaging to display reliable messaging sequences for the Web service client.
Note: The Reliable Messaging tab applies to JAX-RPC Web services only.
For each reliable messaging sequence, runtime monitoring information is displayed, such as the sequence state, the source and destination servers, and so on. You can customize the information that is shown in the table by clicking Customize this table.

Click the name of a sequence to view the requests in the sequence.
Select Monitoring > Servers > WS-Policy to display statistics related to the policies that are attached to the Web service client, organized into the following categories: authentication, authorization, confidentiality, and integrity.
Success, fault, and violation counts are aggregated for all Web service client operations.
Select Monitoring > Servers > Operations to display a list of the operations for the Web service client.
For each operation, runtime monitoring information is displayed, such as average response, execution, and dispatch times, response, invocation and error counts, and so on. You can customize the information that is shown in the table by clicking Customize this table.
Note: For JAX-WS Web services, the Web services runtime creates system-defined client instances within a Web service endpoint that are used to send protocol-specific messages as required by that endpoint. These client instances are named after the Web service endpoint that they serve wth the following suffix: -SystemClient. Monitoring information relevant to the system-defined client instances is provided to assist in evaluating the application.

Click the name of an operation to view more information. Click the General or Invocations tab to display general statistics or invocation statistics, respectively, for the selected operation.
