Monitors deliver "health" information for applications and can be configured to send alarms when health rates fall below specified levels. The root causes of performance, accuracy and availability issues can be identified using Performance Manager's user friendly drilldown interface.
Performance Manager helps users implement complex performance and functional transaction monitoring. It offers support for client-side business transaction monitoring of enterprise applications that are based on a wide range of technologies, including Web/HTML, client/server databases, J2EE, .NET, Web services, and ERP/CRM. It lets users define and schedule monitors distributed around the globe to measure site health based on server metrics and end-user experience metrics such as availability, accuracy and performance. Monitoring can be maintained on an ongoing basis across all tiers of an application, with data reported back in a single, intuitive interface.
Real-time reporting of collected data helps users identify performance and functional issues within production environments and is vital for trend analysis and capacity planning. Performance Manager's configurable alarm notification system enables immediate alerting of operations personnel when application performance falls below defined threshold levels. Powerful notification features such as email, pager notification, SNMP traps, and SMS messages can also be configured.
Application performance management extends quality assurance into production, thereby reducing costly downtime.
