Abstract: A system and method of monitoring a dataflow path in a multilevel client server environment. A proxy is introduced into the dataflow path between a communication process on the client and the server. The proxy acts as a conduit in the data path and monitors the performance parameters of the dataflow. These parameters may then be visualized or used to adjust backend resources.

Abstract: A performance monitoring system is presented for monitoring and tracing individual transactions, where transaction processing includes sending and receiving messages using messaging systems that do not allow the augmentation of existing messages with monitoring system specific correlation information. Agents are deployed to sender and receiver applications that monitor and report transactions. Both sender and receiver applications are instrumented with sensors that detect and report sending or receiving of such immutable messages. Those sensors also extract correlation data from sent and received data allowing the identification of matching corresponding send/receive pairs. A mapping agent is used to retrieve mapping information from a messaging system which may alter the additional message identification data while messages travel through the system. This mapping information is additionally used for the correlation process.

Abstract: A method for monitoring performance of an application system which is distributed across a plurality of network connected nodes, comprising: generating a hierarchical model for the application system, the hierarchical model having a plurality of levels, each level including components of a span specific to that level; mapping the application system onto the hierarchical model according to a network topology of the application system; monitoring network traffic between the plurality of network connected nodes of the application system to gather network traffic data; assembling the network traffic data into application messages; correlating the application messages into sets of one or more application messages that are causally associated in accordance with the hierarchical model, wherein the sets of causally associated application messages constitute transactions corresponding to a lowest level of the hierarchical model; and, generating records of individual transactions occurring within the application system for at least the transactions corresponding to the lowest level of the hierarchical model.

Abstract: Individual network activities are correlated to interactions with a target web page to facilitate an analysis of the performance of the web page. This correlation is preferably performed using a combination of heuristics and rules developed to filter network activities into those activities that are likely to have been caused by the particular transaction, and those that are unlikely to be associated with that transaction. The activities that are identified as being associated with the transaction are subsequently organized to identify a time-flow of these activities within the transaction, from which performance statistics can be determined and presented to a user. Because the individual activities within the transaction are identified and time-ordered, an analysis of the effects of each activity on the overall performance of the web page can be performed to identify potential problem areas, or to diagnose reported problems.

Abstract: Transaction-segregated metrics are obtained for component invocations of different transactions of an application. Corresponding tree data structures are maintained by an agent and a manager which describe sequences of invoked components of the different transactions. The start and end of each component are each represented by a node in each branch of the tree data structure. Each transaction is identified by matching a branch to a transaction trace. Gatherers are linked to one or more nodes to collect the transaction-segregated metrics. For example, metrics can be gathered separately for component invocations in different transactions. Metrics can also be gathered together for instances of different components in one or more transactions. A user interface includes a directed graph having vertices connected by edges. Edge portions are visually distinguished from one another based on the metrics of the gatherers. Each edge portion can be associated with one or more of the gatherers.

Abstract: A system and method for monitoring a data-path between a plurality of devices which are communicably interfaced with a bus for a transaction. The transaction is copied to a replicate transaction, and the original transaction is allowed to proceed to whichever of the plurality of devices to which it is uniquely addressed according to the transaction. A destination address of the replicate transaction is modified to a specified memory device which is also communicably interfaced with the bus, and the replicate transaction is then released onto the data-path, thus allowing the replicate transaction to proceed to the specified memory device based on the modified destination address.

Abstract: Techniques to track resource usage statistics per transaction across multiple layers of protocols and across multiple threads, processes and/or devices are disclosed. In one embodiment, for example, a technique may comprise assigning an activity context to a request at the beginning of a first stage, where the activity context has an initial set of properties. The values of the properties may be assigned to the properties in the initial set during the first stage. The value of a property may be stored on a data store local to the first stage. The activity context may be transferred to a second stage when the request begins the second stage. The transferred activity context may include a property from the initial set of properties. The stored values may be analyzed to determine a resource usage statistic. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
