As digital trading is becoming the new normal, ensuring seamless platform performance is no longer a luxury, but a regulatory expectation. Thus, the systems are handling thousands of trades per second. Even the smallest disruption or technical glitch to any transaction can trigger major financial and reputational consequences to its users and organization.
To overcome this issue, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) introduced the Log Analytics and Monitoring Application (LAMA) framework. It is a proactive monitoring and alerting model aligned with the financial services sector.
LAMA framework defines the technical glitches in a clear and structured way, as any unforeseen issue in core systems that impacts order placement, order matching, or trade execution. By standardizing how glitches are detected, logged, and responded to, SEBI aims to minimize downtime and improve investor confidence.
Motadata helps bring this framework to life, offering a comprehensive monitoring stack that gives you visibility into every layer of your infrastructure. From API health to hardware utilization and network latency, Motadata helps stockbrokers in not only detecting the issues, but also in tracing them to their root cause very quickly and confidently.
What is LAMA?
Understanding LAMA as a SEBI-driven framework, you need to know that it is designated to:
- Monitor real-time health of applications and infrastructure.
- Collect and retain comprehensive log.
- Enable secure log forwarding to a centralized system.
- Support early detection of outages, anomalies, and performance bottlenecks.
- Maintain accountability with secure audit trails and long-term storage.
LAMA helps in ensuring system integrity, transparency, and quick incident response while it doesn’t depend on your working culture. Whether you are part of a stock exchange, clearing corporation, or a depository, it is always helpful to you.
How Motadata Supports the LAMA Framework
To Meet SEBI’s expectations under the LAMA framework requires more than just log collection. It demands real-time observability, deep diagnostics, and historical insight. This real-time visibility empowers organizations to proactively manage capacity and detect bottlenecks before they impact performance. We make this possible through its distributed architecture, out-of-the-box KPIs, and secure API integrations.
Instead of relying on different individual tools, we provide a single platform that monitors your network’s health, server utilization, database performance, and application behavior. This even in line with the metrics outlined by SEBI.
In the event of a technical glitch, Motadata helps in identifying the root cause by analyzing the surrounding events, logs, and metrics very quickly. These clear diagnostics lead teams to respond faster and reduce downtime that might affect the trading environment. Below are the out-of-the-box KPIs monitored by us, which can be integrated directly with any SEBI-mandated LAMA server:
