Abstract: An application monitoring system determines the health of one or more resources used to process a transaction, business application, or other computer process. Performance data is generated in response to monitoring application execution and processed to determine and an actual and baseline value for resource usage data. Resource usage baseline data may be determined from previous resource usage data associated with a resource and particular transaction (a resource-transaction pair). The baseline values are compared to actual values to determine a deviation for the actual value. Deviation information for the time series data can be reported through an interface or some other manner.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates testing a system-under-test with functional-test software and a transformation accelerator. During operation, the system receives a functional-test template at the transformation accelerator. The system also receives a test signal at the transformation accelerator, wherein the test signal comprises testing parameters. Next, the system manipulates the functional-test template at the transformation accelerator according to the testing parameters to create one or more functional-test transactions. The system then sends the one or more functional-test transactions to the system-under-test. Next, the system receives results for the one or more functional-test transactions from the system-under-test. Finally, the system queues the results.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for identifying a cause for a response time problem for a transaction in a distributed computing system that includes a central server and a plurality of subsystems. Data is stored at each subsystem relating to sub-transactions of transactions performed by the subsystems. When a problem is discovered in connection with the completion of a particular transaction, each subsystem of the plurality of subsystems that was involved in the particular transaction is identified, and both instance data relating to all of the sub-transactions of the particular transaction stored at each identified subsystem and current hourly aggregate data stored at each identified subsystem is forwarded to the central server. Root-Cause Analysis is then performed using the forwarded instance data and aggregate data to identify the particular subsystem that caused the transaction problem.

Abstract: A method for analyzing performance of an information processing system having information processing apparatuses providing services to each other. Communication packets sent or received between the apparatuses are acquired. The apparatuses receive calls from other apparatuses for providing services indicated in the packets. A service call count aji of the calls received by the apparatuses during period j of m periods for the service i of n services is computed. A busy time bj is computed by summing processing times by the apparatuses for performing the services pertaining to the calls received by the apparatuses during period j. An average processing time di is computed by the apparatuses for each service i, as is an error εj in di wherein εj=bj−Σiajidi, by minimizing an index indicative of εj. The average processing time di is stored in a storage device and/or displayed on a display device.

Abstract: Method and a corresponding system for performance monitoring of distributed applications. A sensor intercepts every request of service for a server that is generated on a client. If the request meets a filtering condition (for example, defined by the address of the server, the web page from which the request is originated and/or the selected link) the measuring of a corresponding transaction on the client is enabled; at the same time, the request is updated by inserting a correlator. The request is then transmitted to the server. If the request includes the correlator, the measuring of a sub-transaction originating from the request is also enabled on the server. The parameters measured on the client and on the server are then associated with the correlator.
