What's the difference between monitoring WSO2 EI vs. Micro Integrator?

WSO2 Enterprise Integrator and WSO2 Micro Integrator expose different management surfaces and resource models. This FAQ explains how Nodinite monitors each runtime.

WSO2 Enterprise Integrator

WSO2 Enterprise Integrator uses the Carbon Console architecture. The monitoring agent connects by using JMX on port 9999 and Carbon Console APIs on port 9443.

WSO2 Enterprise Integrator monitoring covers:

  • Proxy Services
  • APIs
  • Sequences
  • Endpoints
  • Message Processors
  • Carbon servers

Remote Actions for WSO2 Enterprise Integrator can start or stop Proxy Services and APIs, connect or disconnect Endpoints, and restart Carbon servers.

WSO2 Micro Integrator

WSO2 Micro Integrator uses a lighter runtime and does not rely on the Carbon Console. The monitoring agent connects through the Management API on port 9164. In deployment.toml, set [management_api] and enable = true so the endpoint is available.

WSO2 Micro Integrator monitoring covers:

  • APIs
  • Sequences
  • Endpoints
  • Message Processors
  • Runtime health

Remote Actions for WSO2 Micro Integrator can start or stop APIs and connect or disconnect Endpoints.

Key Difference

The main difference is the management surface. WSO2 Enterprise Integrator keeps the older Carbon Console model and supports Proxy Services as a first-class resource. WSO2 Micro Integrator uses the Management API, focuses on APIs, and runs with a smaller operational footprint.
