Abstract:
The present invention includes, but is not limited to, a method, system and computer-usable medium for providing automated management of threshold crossing alarms. Transaction processing resources are selected for monitoring, followed by selecting a monitoring time interval, an initial threshold alarm level. Selections are then made regarding transaction codes to monitor, acceptable average transaction processing times, and acceptable ratio of successful transactions to unsuccessful transactions. The transaction processing resources are then monitored to count the number of transactions processed, measure the processing time for individual transactions, and capture their corresponding transaction result code. An average transaction processing time value and a successful transaction ratio processing value are generated. Comparison operations are performed. If the results of the comparison operations are acceptable, then threshold crossing alarms are then suppressed and the threshold alarm level is increased. If not, then a threshold crossing alarm is generated and the threshold alarm level is decreased.
Abstract:
A system performance test method for testing performance of a server system includes: (A) a step of issuing a plurality of types of request sequences with a specified issuance ratio to the server system; and (B) a step of measuring performance of the server system during processing of the plurality of types of request sequences. Each of the plurality of types of request sequences is comprised of a sequence of requests to the server system.
Abstract:
The invention can enable monitoring of the display of content by a computer system. Moreover, the invention can enable monitoring of the displayed content to produce monitoring information from which conclusions may be deduced regarding the observation of the displayed content by an observer. The invention can also enable monitoring of the display at a content display site of content that is provided by a content provider site over a network to the content display site. Additionally, the invention can enable the expeditious provision of updated and/or tailored content over a network from a content provider site to a content display site so that the content provider's current and appropriately tailored content is always displayed at the content display site. Aspects of the invention related to transfer of content over a network are generally applicable to any type of network. However, it is contemplated that the invention can be particularly useful with a computer network, including private computer networks (e.g., America Online™) and public computer networks (e.g., the Internet). In particular, the invention can be advantageously used with computer networks or portions of computer networks over which video and/or audio content are transferred from one network site to another network site for observation, such as the World Wide Web portion of the Internet.
Abstract:
Web conference performance monitoring systems enable presenters to monitor their audience's content receiving experience and modify their content's transmission characteristics to resolve technical difficulties. A system for monitoring a Web conference's performance includes a local processor; memory operably connected to the local processor; a monitor operably connected to the local processor; content loaded into memory and operable by the local processor; and an audience screen preview program loaded into the memory and operable by the local processor, wherein the audience screen preview program instructs the local processor to measure network throughput of a network connection between the local processor and a remote processor and display at least a portion of the content on the monitor operably connected to the local processor by simulating the content being transmitted to the monitor operably connected to the local processor over the network connection.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method that uses differential backup which is a key feature when uploading file for back up data from a client terminal to a server terminal. At the time of backup, only the changes from the client terminal side are sent back to the server terminal which saves the bandwidth and makes the process fast. While uploading, data is sent in the form of chunks of fixed size. In case any of the chunks could not be delivered on the server terminal, the same chunk is retransmitted from the client terminal.
Abstract:
A load balancer detects a server failure, and sends a failure notification message to the remaining servers. In response, one or more of the remaining servers may autonomically adjust their configuration parameters, thereby allowing the remaining servers to better handle the increased load caused by the server failure. One or more of the servers may also include a performance measurement mechanism that measures performance before and after an autonomic adjustment of the configuration parameters to determine whether and how much the autonomic adjustments improved the system performance. In this manner server computer systems may autonomically compensate for the failure of another server computer system that was sharing the workload.
Abstract:
A method and computer program product for testing using asynchronous automated virtual agent behavior is presented. A communication including one of a web-based communication and a telephony-based communication is received at a contact center. The communication is responded to by a virtual agent simulating actions of an agent in a coordinated, asynchronous manner. The virtual agent is capable of providing a response to the web-based communication and to the telephony-based communication. At least one parameter of said contact center is measured and the results are presented to a contact center manager.
Abstract:
The method includes the steps of: storing a plurality of parameter sets; selecting one of the plurality of parameter sets as a test parameter set to be evaluated; measuring performance only for one batch job out of N (N is a positive integer) batch jobs constituting full set performance measurement for the test parameter set; and calculating an evaluation value on the basis of a difference between an integral of measurement values obtained until the performance has been measured for r (r is a positive integer smaller than N) batch jobs by using the test parameter set; and an integral of mean measurement values of the performance for the r batch jobs by using an optimal parameter set which is one of the parameter sets used in the performance evaluation having been performed; determining whether or not the evaluation value has deviated from a predetermined evaluation continuing range; and terminating the evaluation of the test parameter set on condition that it is determined that the evaluation value has deviated form the evaluation continuing range toward performance deterioration. It is preferable that the predetermined evaluation continuing range be of a width from a width W where r is equal to zero, to a width W′ (0≦W′
Abstract:
Provided is a reproduction processing method of reproducing user's operation of a computer system, the reproduction processing method comprising: storing contents of the user's operation; transmitting the stored contents of the user's operation; determining a reproduction unit of the at least one reproduction unit for executing a reproduction processing according to the contents of the user's operation; determining a schedule of executing the reproduction processing; transmitting the stored contents of the user's operation and the determined schedule; and executing the reproduction processing based on the contents of the user's operation and the schedule.
Abstract:
When the communicator sends a communication message for Web access, the monitor suspends the sending process of the communication message in the communicator. The start determiner instructs the operation recorder to start the recording process of data indicative of user operations. The monitor allows the communicator to resume the sending process of the communication message. The operation recorder sets a capture interval to the timer. When the user performs input operations, the operation recorder records the input data. If the remaining time of the timer is 0, the operation recorder captures and records the screen data, and sets the capture interval to the timer. If the end determiner has instructed to end the recording process, the operation recorder closes the file for storing the operation data and stores the file in the operation storage.
